The AELAB GM-7 Gloss Meter measures low-gloss (75°) materials with high accuracy and repeatability. It stores 254 readings, supports USB/Bluetooth output, and integrates automatic calibration, a rechargeable battery, and a high-visibility backlit LCD. Compact and portable, the GM-7 is ideal for quality control environments.
Designed in accordance with ASTM D523, ASTM D1455, ASTM C346, ASTM C574, ASTM D2457, DIN EN ISO 2813, DIN 67530, EN ISO 7668, JIS Z8741, MFT30064, TAPPI T480, GB 9754, GB/T13891, GB 7706, and GB 8807, the GM-7 conforms fully with JJG696-2002 technical parameters.
The AELAB GM-7 features a robust integral optical system designed for 75° gloss measurement. Its backlit 4-digit LCD provides clear readings in low-light environments. The measuring aperture (7 mm × 14 mm ellipse) ensures stable performance on coatings, plastics, paper, and material surfaces. The housing is lightweight and engineered for portable, daily QC inspections.
The GM-7 operates by projecting controlled illumination onto a surface at a 75° geometry and detecting reflected intensity in Gloss Units (GU). Its internal calibration mechanism ensures measurement stability across the full 0.1GU–200GU spectrum. Data acquisition is processed digitally with 0.1 GU resolution and ±0.5 GU repeatability, enabling reliable comparative analysis across multiple samples.
The AELAB GM-7 supports direct USB data transfer through the optional USB cable and software suite. Wireless communication is available via the optional Bluetooth Data Adapter, enabling integration with PC-based QC software, reporting tools, and GLP-compliant data archiving formats.
