Description

Overview

  • Portable instrument for simultaneous measurement of 20/60/85° gloss, reflectance haze and Distinctness of Image (DOI) for matt to mirror finishes
  • Delivers RSPEC (peak gloss), RIQ and goniophotometric data for appearance evaluation
  • Supplied with ISO 17025 (UKAS) calibrated standards


Key measurements

  • 20/60/85° gloss
  • RSPEC (peak gloss)
  • Reflectance haze (ASTM E430)
  • Distinctness of Image (DOI)
  • Reflected Image Quality (RIQ)
  • Goniophotometric curves (reflectance profile)


Measurement angles

  • 20° — High gloss surfaces
  • 60° — Universal / reference angle (all gloss levels)
  • 85° — Low gloss / matt surfaces
  • 45° — Specialty angle for certain plastics and ceramics


Technology & features

  • 512-element linear diode array profiling reflected light across an angular range (~14°–27°) to derive goniophotometric information
  • Automatic peak reflection detection and virtual sensor position adjustment for curved or textured surfaces
  • Reflectance haze compensation for metallic and highly reflective pigments (diffuse-correction for accurate haze on coloured/metallic samples)
  • Simultaneous measurement of gloss, RSPEC, haze, DOI, RIQ and goniophotometric data
  • Fast readings with date/time stamping, onboard statistics, trend and histogram displays
  • Data output via USB (device mounts as drive), .csv export; compatible with Novo-Gloss Multi Gauge software for analysis and reporting
  • Pass/fail parameter setup for production QA


Standards & compliance

  • Haze measurement to ASTM E430
  • Gloss measurement referenced to ISO 2813 and ASTM D523 geometries (20° / 60° / 85°)
  • Instrument supplied with standards calibrated and certified to ISO 17025 (UKAS)


Applications

  • Automotive exterior and interior finish assessment and refinish quality control
  • Paints, coatings and powder coating quality assurance
  • Consumer electronics housing and decorative surfaces
  • Printing inks, laminated cartons and packaging inspection
  • Furniture, metal finishing, plastics, polished stone, yacht and composite surface evaluation


Notes on appearance faults measured

  • RIQ / DOI: quantifies orange peel, waviness and reflected image distortion — useful for perceived texture assessment
  • Reflectance haze: measures milky ‘bloom’ around specular highlights caused by microscopic texture, additive migration, poor dispersion, polishing marks, curing/ageing issues or surface residue
