The Rhopoint IQ-S Gloss, Haze & DOI Meter quantifies surface quality problems that are invisible to a standard glossmeter and profiles how light is reflected from a surface. • Reflectance Haze • Reflected Image Quality (RIQ) • Goniophotometric Curves Glossmeters are usually used to measure the "shininess" of a surface but are not sensitive to common effects which reduce appearance quality. IQ GLOSS measurements are fully compatible with existing Novo-Gloss and Micro-TRI-gloss results. Trigloss 20/60/85° versions are for maximum accuracy and resolution in all gloss applications.

Gloss A measurement proportional to the amount of light reflected from a surface. The correct measurement geometry should be used according to the sample finish - matt: 85°, mid gloss: 60°, highgloss: 20° Gloss is measured by shining a known amount of light at a surface and quantifying the reflectance. RSpec The peak gloss measured over a very narrow angle. It is very sensitive to surface texture and can be used to identify subtle differences in smooth surfaces. Distinctness of Image (DOI) A measure of how clearly a reflected image will appear in a reflective surface. Orange peel dramatically...

RIQ is used to quantify effects such as orange peel and surface waviness. This new parameter gives higher resolution results compared to Distinctness of Image (DOI) measurement and better mimics human perception of surface texture, especially on high quality finishes such as automotive applications. Symptoms of poor RIQ: 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,...

It has been defined as 'The attribute of surfaces that causes them to have a shiny or lustrous, metallic appearance.' The gloss of a surface can be greatly influenced by a number of factors, for example the smooth ness achieved during polishing, the amount and type of coating applied or the quality of the substrate. Gloss can also be a measure of the quality of the surface, for instance a drop in the gloss of a coated surface may indicate problems with its cure, leading to other failures such as poor adhesion or lack of protection forthe coated surface. It isforthese reasons that many manufacturing...
