PCE Instruments RM 100 Gloss Meter for Opacity 45º Degree Angle

Model # RM 100

The reflectometer is used to measure the reflection properties of surfaces related to opacity. The PCE-RM 100 reflectometer is used in furniture construction, workplace control, lighting design etc. The reflectometer measures the reflectance off the surface in which light is reflected from the surface. Subsequently, the reflection of the light is compared with an absolute black and an absolute white background, and from this, the degree of opacity is determined mathematically. The reflectometer measures the surface reflectance according to the currently valid international standards ISO3906-1980, ISO3905, ISO2814.
The surface reflection is an important measure to detect, for example, whether a furniture surface for the human eye is too reflective and so unpleasant. The reflectometer PCE-RM 100 can measure this reflection directly in the development of furniture decors and the engineer can make a statement of quality.
