The Elcometer
6015 is a dual angle instrument characterising surfaces at both
20 and 60 degrees, giving it superb resolution and the flexibility
to measure any surface from matt to mirror finish.
Measuring the
complex interaction of a surface with light, the Elcometer 6015
calculates:
-
Gloss:
Measuring more accurately and giving more repeatable results than
traditional gloss meters, the Elcometer 6015 compensates for curvature
or positioning errors.
-
Haze:
Micro-structures within the coating can cause the surface
to be perceived as being of a lower quality. Whereas this
characteristic is undetectable with a traditional gloss meter,
a haze meter quantifies this numerically.
-
Distinctness
of Image (DOI): In some conditions, traditional gloss
meters quantify visibly different surfaces with the same
gloss value. When these surfaces are measured using a
DOI gauge, an accurate "fingerprint" of the
surface is generated. DOI identifies the effect of gloss,
haze, polishing marks and 'orange peel' on a coating.
-
Peak
Specular Reflectance: Provides a value of reflectance
independent of curvature, positioning of sample, haze
or DOI.
-
Goniophotometric
Profile: This graphical 'fingerprint' records
subtle variations in the quality of a surface
by measuring the intensity of light reflected
over a range of angles.
