The Novo-Gloss I.Q. is the first hand held instrument to profile how light is reflected from a surface. Traditional glossmeters measure quantitatively and are not sensitive to effects that reduce appearance quality.
The Novo-Gloss I.Q. uses reflectance profiles to calculate gloss, haze and DOI values allowing the user to fully evaluate surface finish.
Simple and Fast Operationn
Glosss
IQ gloss measurements are fully compatible with existing gloss standards including ISO 2813, ASTM D523. I.Q. Measurement – Gloss Units (GU) at 60¨¬ and 20¨¬
Haze
LOG) to ASTM E430 standard.
Distinctness of Image (DOI)
Symptoms – High frequency textures, surface ripples and ¡®orange peel¡¯ distort the reflected image. Causes – Application and flow issues, reticulation, substrate related problems and poor formulation. I.Q.Measurement – DOI value (0-100) -a measurement of image forming qualities from ASTM D5767-A.
Results can be downloaded via USB for graphical and statistical analysis. IQ Measurement-A detailed profile of reflected light distribution +/-6¨¬ from specular.
