Rhopoint IQ-S 20°/60°/85° Goniophotometer
The Ultimate Upgrade Glossmeter, Easy-to-Use And Cost Effective
The Rhopoint IQ-S is an advanced gloss meter that goes beyond simply measuring gloss. It’s a goniophotometer, which means it can profile how light is reflected from a surface and provide key measures of surface appearance, including:
- Gloss
- Haze
- Distinctness of image (DOI)
- Rspec
- Goniophotometric curves
By measuring all of these factors, the Rhopoint IQ-S can provide a more complete picture of a surface’s appearance than a traditional gloss meter. This can be helpful for a variety of applications, such as:
- Quality control in manufacturing
- Appearance evaluation of finished products
- Research and development of new materials
Here are some of the key benefits of using the Rhopoint IQ-S gloss meter:
- More comprehensive data: The IQ-S provides more data than a traditional gloss meter, which can give you a better understanding of a surface’s appearance.
- Improved accuracy: The IQ-S is a close-tolerance instrument, which means that you can be confident in the accuracy of your measurements.
- Repeatability: The IQ-S is designed to provide repeatable measurements, so you can be sure that your results are consistent.
- Ease of use: The IQ-S is easy to use, even for those who are not familiar with gloss meters.
- Data transfer: The IQ-S can transfer data to Microsoft Excel over USB or Bluetooth, which makes it easy to track and analyze your results.
In addition IQ-S gloss measurements are fully compatible with existing Micro-TRI-gloss – S results. Tri-gloss 20°/60°/85° versions are close tolerance selected for maximum accuracy and resolution in all gloss applications.
