Rhopoint IQ FLEX

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Rhopoint FLEX Goniophotometer is a versatile instrument designed for measuring the reflective appearance of paints and coatings, particularly in the automotive and marine sectors. It combines gloss, reflectance haze, and orange peel measurements into a single operation.

Key Features

Customizable with magnetically attached adaptor plates for improved performance on small parts.
Adaptors can be created using 3D printing technology for specific applications, allowing reduced measurement spot sizes and non-contact plates for delicate surfaces.
Available in two models: FLEX 20 for 20° angles and FLEX 60 for 60° angles.

Specifications

Gloss: Resolution of 0.1GU, repeatability of ±0.2GU, and reproducibility of ±0.5GU. Measurement range for FLEX 20 is 0-2000GU and for FLEX 60 is 0-1000GU.
Reflectance Haze: Measured at 17.2-19° and 21-22.8°, with switchable units between Haze Units (HU) and Log Haze Units (LogHU). Resolution of 0.1HU, repeatability of ±0.2HU, and reproducibility of ±1.5HU.
RIQ (Reflected Image Quality): Resolution of 0.1, repeatability of ±0.2, and reproducibility of ±0.5. Measurement range is 0-100.
DOI (Distinctiveness of Image): Resolution of 0.1, repeatability of ±0.2, and reproducibility of ±0.5. Measurement range is 0-100.

Standards

Gloss calibration standard is BAM traceable with an uncertainty of 0.4GU.
Standards include ASTM E430, ISO 13803 for reflectance haze, and ASTM D5767 for DOI.

Measurement Area

FLEX 20°: 6mm x 6mm
FLEX 60°: 6mm x 9mm

Catalog excerpts

A new FLEXibility 20° Glossmeter Haze Meter Goniophotometer The Rhopoint FLEX Goniophotometer with external measurement head The Rhopoint IQ Goniophotometer has been established as the reference instrument for measuring reflective appearance of paint and coatings, particularly in the automotive and marine coatings sectors. By measuring a complete goniophotometric curve, the instrument combines the measurement of gloss, reflectance haze and orange peel (DOI/RIQ values) in a single measurement.

The Rhopoint IQ FLEX 20 brings this technology to a new format specifically designed for difficult surfaces or small parts, the small footprint of the IQ FLEX 20 sensor makes it much more effective on curved surfaces and difficult to reach areas than a conventional glossmeter. For improved performance and repeatability on even the smallest parts, the Rhopoint IQ FLEX 20 can be customised with magnetically attached adaptor plates. Using 3D printing technology it is possible to create custom measuring jigs from the CAD diagrams of your components, these adaptors can be easily interchanged for different...
