Rhopoint IQ Flex 20
Overview
The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 quantifies surface quality problems such as orange peel and haze that are invisible to a standard glossmeter. It profiles how light is reflected from a surface.
Previously only available for measuring flat surfaces, this technology is now available in a new format specifically designed for curved surfaces, as well as small and delicate parts. Flex 20 gloss measurements are fully compatible with existing Rhopoint IQ results.
The Rhopoint IQ Flex 20 can measure:
- 20° Gloss
- Reflectance haze
- Reflected Image Quality (RIQ)
- Distinctness of Image (DOI)
- Goniophotometric curves
- RSPEC (peak specular reflectance)
