20/60/85° Glossmeter DOI Meter Haze Meter Goniophot

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.

What does the Rhopoint IQ-S measure? Gloss A measurement proportional to the amount of light reflected from a surface. Geometry 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. Usage 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...

Reflected Image Quality (RIQ) 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...

Why measure gloss? Gloss is an aspect of the visual perception of objects that is as important as colour when considering the psychological impact of products on a consumer 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 smoothness achieved during polishing, the amount and type of coating applied or the quality of the substrate. Manufacturers design their products to have maximum appeal: from highly reflective car body panels to glossy...
