Rhopoint IQ Goniophotometer 20°/60°/85°

Rhopoint IQ Goniophotometer 20°/60°/85°

Manufactured by Rhopoint Instruments

The Rhopoint IQ 20°/60°/85° quantifies surface quality problems that are invisible to a standard glossmeter and profiles how light is reflected from a surface.

The Rhopoint IQ instrument measures the following parameters in a single button push

20/60/85° GLOSS • HAZE• REFLECTED IMAGE QUALITY (RIQ) • DISTINCTNESS OF IMAGE (DOI) RSPEC

  • Gloss: A measurement proportional to the amount of light reflected from a surface measured at 20° ( high gloss finishes) , 60° ( mid gloss finishes ) and 85° ( matt finishes)
  • Haze: An optical effect caused by microscopic textures or residue on a surface.
  • RIQ
  • This is to quantify effects such as orange peel and surface waviness. This new parameter gives better resolution results compared to Distinctness of Image (DOI). It also mimics more closely the human perception of surface texture, especially on high quality finishes such as automotive paint.
  • DOI: A measure of how clearly a reflected image will appear in a reflective surface.
  • RSPEC: The peak gloss value over a very narrow angle.

Features:

  • Easy to read full colour screen with adjustable brightness
  • 6 button touch sensitive interface
  • Fully automatic calibration with tile detection and verification for error-free calibration
  • Pocket sized instrument with integrated tile holder
  • Full onboard statistics (max, min, mean, S.D.)
  • On-board trend analysis graphs
  • Results batching with user definable names
  • Direct data input via Bluetooth – This allows each reading to be instantly transmitted to any PC package such as Excel, Word, SPC programs etc.
  • Software-free data transfer – USB download of results to PC without the need to install software
