Haze glossmeter Rhopoint IQ-S

The Rhopoint IQ-S is an innovative goniophotometer that provides key measures of surface appearance, gloss, haze and RIQ for detecting surface defects like orange peel or surface haze. Where standard gloss meters only measure gloss, the IQ-S is a cost effective solution for detection and measurement of all surface imperfections. The IQ-S is a specially designed instrument built specifically to match automotive interior gloss measurement standards. In addition IQ-S gloss measurements are fully compatible with existing Micro-TRI-gloss – S results. Dualgloss 20/60° or Trigloss 20/60/85° versions are close tolerance selected for maximum accuracy and resolution in all gloss applications. 20/60/85° Gloss • Haze • Distinctness of image • Rspec • Goniophotometric curves GLOSS A measurement proportional to the amount of light reflected from a surface. Geometry: For best results the correct measurement geometry should be chosen based on the reflectance of the material: Matt Finish 85°, Mid Gloss 60°, High Gloss and Metallics 20°. Measurement Unit: GU. RSPEC The peak gloss value over a very narrow angle. Usage – RSPEC is very sensitive to small changes in texture and is used to identify subtle differences in surface smoothness. Measurement Unit: GU. REFLECTANCE HAZE An optical effect caused by microscopic textures or residue on a surface. Visible Symptoms: Milky finish apparent on surface, loss of reflected contrast, halos and patterns seen around reflections of high intensity light sources. Specifically pertains to high gloss on materials such as metallic and mirrors.
