The ultimate gloss meter upgrade


The Rhopoint IQ-S was specially designed to match automotive interior gloss measurement standards with measurement data fully compatible with existing Micro-TRI-gloss-S results.

All IQ-S instruments are close tolerance, ensuring that you can achieve maximum accuracy, repeatability, and comparability.

The innovative linear diode array used inside the Rhopoint IQ-S measures not only gloss but also profiles how light is reflected from a surface. Standard gloss meters only measure how much light is reflected and are not sensitive to effects which dramatically reduce appearance quality.

Features

Features
  • Built in back-lit colour display: built-in display and user-friendly UI simplifies the operation of the device, and minimises the risk of operator error.


 

  • Designed for utility: portable instrument designed with a simple built-in control pad, high speed measurement, and rechargeable lithium-ion battery.


 

  • Greatly expanded surface data: the linear diode array provides additional surface data for RIQ/DOI, reflectance haze and Rspec, allowing the operator to greatly expand reporting and enhance control of processes that cause surface defects. 


 

  • Versatile data transfer: seamlessly transfer measurement data via Bluetooth or USB to Microsoft Excel or data software for storage, analysis and reporting.


 

  • Compliant with standards: conforms (60° & 85°) with ISO 2813, ISO 7668, ASTM D523, ASTM D2457, DIN 67530, JIS 8741, JIS K 5600-4-7 (verified performance at 20°). The device is supplied with ISO 17025 UKAS calibration certificate and annual ISO 17025 UKAS calibration is available via Konica Minolta and Rhopoint each year.
