The AELAB Reflectance Meter RM-206 is engineered for precise measurement of surface transparency and reflectivity across coatings, plastics, pigments, and films. It complies with international standards ISO3906-1980 (E), ISO3905, and ISO2814, as well as national standards GB/T13452.3-92, GB9270-88, and GB5211.17-88. The RM-206 offers stable performance with integrated RS-232 or Bluetooth output for seamless data transfer to PC systems.

 

⚙️ Design & Construction

The RM-206 features a compact 141×45×79 mm enclosure housing a high-sensitivity optical receiver and digital display. Its measuring aperture (7×14 mm ellipse) ensures consistent light capture across non-glossy and reflective surfaces. A built-in 3.7 V rechargeable Lithium Ion battery powers the unit for portable and extended field testing. All critical components, including the photocell and optical lens, are precisely aligned for accurate signal conversion.

 

🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

When the reflected light of a sample acts on the photocell surface, the electric signal generated is amplified through a DC amplifier and processed by a microcontroller. The display reading is directly proportional to the intensity of the reflected light. This principle enables quantification of coating opacity and film transparency with repeatability of 0.3%.
