Gloss-Meter Rhopoint iQ

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed specifications and functionalities of the Rhopoint IQ, a glossmeter designed to measure surface quality across various industries such as automotive, paints, coatings, and more. It highlights the instrument's ability to measure gloss, haze, distinctness of image (DOI), and reflected image quality (RIQ).
Specifications: The Rhopoint IQ offers dualgloss (20/60°) and trigloss (20/60/85°) versions for enhanced accuracy. It measures gloss in Gloss Units (GU) and haze in Log Haze Units (LogHU). The device is compatible with existing Novo-Gloss and Micro-Tri-gloss results and provides a high-resolution color display for data analysis.
Measurement Capabilities: The instrument measures gloss, haze, DOI, RIQ, and goniophotometric curves. It is sensitive to surface texture changes and can identify subtle differences in surface smoothness. The goniophotometric profile displays surface reflectance between 17-23°.
Standards and Calibration: The Rhopoint IQ conforms to various international standards such as ISO 2813, ASTM D523, and DIN 67530. It comes with an ISO 17025 UKAS calibration certificate, ensuring best-in-class accuracy and traceability.
Instrument Features: The device is constructed with an all-aluminum enclosure and features a magnetic calibration holder. It supports statistical and graphical analysis, with data transfer capabilities via Bluetooth and USB. The instrument operates on a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, providing over 17 hours of operation per charge.
Applications: The Rhopoint IQ is suitable for a wide range of applications, including paints and coatings, automotive industry, plastics manufacturing, and more. It is particularly effective in detecting surface defects such as orange peel and brush marks, which affect the distinctness of image and reflected image quality.

Gloss-Meter Rhopoint iQ-2

The Rhopoint IQ quantifies surface quality issues invisible to normal glossmeters The Rhopoint IQ is the ultimate glossmeter upgrade IQ GLOSS measurements are fully compatible with existing Novo-Gloss and Micro-Tri-gloss results. Dualgloss 20/60° or Trigloss 20/60/85° versions are for maximum accuracy and resolution in all gloss applications. The Rhopoint IQ measures image quality and is the only hand held instrument that not only measures gloss but profiles how light is reflected from a surface. Standard glossmeters only measure how much light is reflected and are not sensitive to effects which...

Gloss-Meter Rhopoint iQ-3

DISTINCTNESS OF IMAGE (DOI) A measure of how clearly a reflected image will appear in a reflective surface. Symptoms of Poor DOI: Orange peel, brush marks, waviness or other structures visible on the surface. Reflected images are distorted. Causes: Application problems, incorrect coating flow, coating viscosity too high/low, sag or flow of coating before curing, incorrect particle size/distribution, overspray, improper flash/recoat time, inter coat compatibility, incorrect cure times and cure temperature. Measurement Scale: 0-100, 100 is a perfect smooth surface. Reflected image quality can be...
