The KSJ MG6-SM Metal Gloss Meter is a compact, lightweight, easy to use 60º angle gloss meter that was designed to measure metallic materials and their coatings. Reflective properties of unfinished and mirror polished metals can easily exceed the working range of most standard gloss meters. The MG6-SM has a wide measurement range and metallic mirror-finished calibration tile to specifically optimize the gloss meter to measure metallic materials. Quickly measure metallic materials through stages of production to meet specifications and achieve uniformity or installed metallic materials such as bronze, brass, copper, aluminum, stainless steel including nickel and chrome plating. Calright Instruments laboratory technicians verified the MG6-SM with internal laboratory repeatability tests and sales history data to determine the reliability of this product.
The simple design allows the user to easily place the gloss meter on the surface of flat materials and immediately begin taking continuous measurements. The results will be displayed in Gloss Units (GU) that the user can then quickly determine if the material meets established acceptance criteria set by manufacturer or simply measure the difference between two sample materials.
The MG6 Series are designed and manufactured according to ISO 2813 and GB9754 and meet the following standards: ASTM D2457, ASTM D523, GB/T13891, GB7706 and GB8807. Technical parameters conform with JJG696-2002.
