AELAB GM-200 20°/60°/85° Gloss Meter for Surface Gloss Measurement

Overview

The AELAB GM-200 20°/60°/85° gloss meter measures surface gloss in Gloss Units (GU) for laboratory and industrial quality control, supporting floor maintenance, surface cleaning verification, stone and tile gloss measurement, and printed matter inspection. The AELAB GM-200 is specified for paint and ink quality control and polished metal surface measurement where repeatable gloss evaluation is required.

The AELAB GM-200 gloss meter is designed in accordance with multiple international and national gloss standards including ASTMD523, ASTMD1455, ASTMC346, ASTMC584, ASTMD2457, DIN ENISO2813, DIN67530, ENISO7668, JISZ8741, MFT30064, TAPPIT480, GB9754, GB/T13891, GB7706, and GB8807, with technical parameters conforming to JJG696-2002. The AELAB GM-200 supports auto calibration, rapid measurement, and data storage for structured surface gloss testing.

⚙️ Design & Construction

The AELAB GM-200 gloss meter is an integral type surface gloss measurement instrument with a compact form factor for handheld testing in laboratories, production lines, and field inspections. The AELAB GM-200 uses a 4 digits backlit LCD for reading gloss units (GU) in low-light environments and integrates a rechargeable 3.7 V Lithium Ion power system for portable operation. The AELAB GM-200 provides a defined measuring geometry at 20°/60°/85° and a controlled 7 mm × 14 mm (Ellipse) measuring area to stabilize repeatable gloss measurements.🔬 Working Principle / Testing Method

The AELAB GM-200 performs surface gloss measurement by directing incident light to the test surface at 20°, 60°, and 85° geometries and quantifying reflected light to output gloss in GU. The AELAB GM-200 stabilizes test repeatability using a fixed measuring area and supports auto calibration via the included holder with calibration standard, enabling consistent gloss testing for coatings, plastics, paper, ceramics, and metallic surfaces.
