Rhopoint IQ 20°/60° goniophotometer beyond standard gloss meter
An All-in-One Appearance Measurement Instrument.
Rhopoint IQ Goniophotometer 20°/60° is an incredibly advance instrument design and built for measurement: 20°/60° GLOSS | REFLECTANCE HAZE | REFLECTED IMAGE QUALITY(RIQ) | DISTINCTNESS OF IMAGE(DOI) – ALSO KNOW AS ORANGE PEEL | RSPEC.
Rhopoint IQ 20/60 instrument is designed for measuring gloss at two different angles, which are 20 degrees and 60 degrees. The instrument uses a combination of angles and wavelengths to provide accurate and repeatable measurements of appearance parameters. It can measure gloss at each of the two angles individually or simultaneously, allowing for flexibility in measurement and analysis. Additionally, it offers a range of measurement modes, including single angle, sequential angle, and user-defined modes.
The Rhopoint IQ 20/60 instrument also includes a built-in touchscreen interface and software for data analysis and reporting. It can store and export data, including graphical representations of measurement data and statistical analysis, and it can also provide pass/fail criteria based on user-defined standards.
Overall, the Rhopoint IQ 20/60 instrument is a reliable and versatile tool for measuring gloss, providing businesses with a comprehensive way to analyze and control the appearance of their products. The ability to measure gloss at two different angles is particularly useful for industries such as automotive coatings, marine coatings and plastics, where different angles can affect the appearance of the product.
