Product catalog summary
Overview: The document introduces the Rhopoint IQ, a sophisticated instrument designed to measure surface quality in various industries such as paints, coatings, metal polishing, and more. It highlights the limitations of standard glossmeters and presents the advanced capabilities of the Rhopoint IQ in measuring gloss, haze, distinctness of image (DOI), and goniophotometric profiles.
Key Features:
  • Gloss Measurement: Measures gloss at 20/60/85° angles, with specific geometries recommended for different finishes (Matt, Mid Gloss, High Gloss, and Metallics). The unit of measurement is Gloss Units (GU).
  • RSPEC: Measures peak gloss value over a narrow angle, sensitive to texture changes, also in GU.
  • Reflectance Haze: Identifies optical effects from surface textures or residues, measured in Log Haze Units (LogHU).
  • Distinctness of Image (DOI): Evaluates the clarity of reflected images, with a scale from 0 to 100.
  • Goniophotometric Profile: Displays surface reflectance profiles, indicating surface smoothness and reflectivity.
Advanced Features:
  • Full-color screen with onboard statistics and graphs.
  • USB and Bluetooth connectivity for data transfer without software installation.
  • Fast measurement capabilities, with automatic calibration and tile detection.
  • Long battery life with over 17 hours of operation and 20,000 readings per charge.
  • Onboard memory for over 999 readings with full profiles.
Specifications:
  • Conforms to standards such as ISO 2813, ASTM D523, and others.
  • High accuracy and traceability with ISO 17025 UKAS calibration certificate.
  • Constructed with aluminum for durability, featuring an integrated calibration holder.
  • Dimensions: 65 x 140 x 50mm, Weight: 790g.
Applications: Suitable for a wide range of industries including automotive, plastics, inks, wood coatings, and yacht manufacturing, providing enhanced performance in gloss applications.

RHO PO NT + THE RHOPOINT IQ IS THE ULTIMATE GLOSSMETER UPGRADE THE RHOPOINT IQ QUANTIFIES SURFACE QUALITY PROBLEMS THAT ARE INVISIBLE TO A STANDARD GLOSSMETER The Rhopoint IQ measures image quality, it is the only hand held instrument that profiles how light is reflected from a surface. Standard glossmeters only measure how much light is reflected and are not sensitive to effects which dramatically reduce appearance quality. IQ GLOSS measurements are fully compatible with existing Novo-Gloss and Micro-Tri-gloss results. Surface texture can reduce appearance quality, without affecting gloss. These...

reflectance haze An optical effect caused by microscopic textures or residue on a surface. Gloss Graph «STAT TlQ-GRAPH 1051- n=7 Visible Symptoms: Milky Finish apparent on surface, loss of reflected contrast, halos and patterns can be seen around reflections of high intensity light sources. Causes: Poor dispersion, raw material incompatibility, additive migration, vehicle quality, stoving/drying/curing conditions, polishing marks, fine scratches, ageing, oxidisation, poor cleanliness/surface residue.
