Novo Gloss

Specification for novo gloss

Glossmeters are instruments to measure the reflective qualities of manufactured surfaces. They work by shining a light of known intensity at a surface and measuring the specular reflectance.

Glossmeters for Curved surfaces and Small Areas

Novo-Curve

Specification for Curved Surfaces and small areas :

Novo-Curve instruments use a narrow beam of light to accurately measure the gloss of convex and concave surfaces. They can also be used to measure flat surfaces and areas which are too small to measure with standard glossmeters.

When you measure a curved surface with a normal glossmeter, the light beam is scattered by the concave or convex surface giving a much lower and false reading for gloss.

The Novo-Curve also has a special optical arrangement that allows accurate measurement of curved surfaces with a very small radius of curvature. The Novo-Curve Lite is a portable, hand-held device for measuring the gloss of larger items that cannot be measured with the Novo-Curve.

Calibration and Service :

Contents :

All hand held optical instruments come complete with instrument case, calibration tile, traceable certificate and cleaning cloth.

Novo-Curve :

Novo-Curve comes complete with footswitch, mains lead, traceable tile and certificate, jigging posts, cleaning cloth and Novo-Soft Mini CD.

Reflectometer

The Novo-Shade Duo can be used to assess either the shade of a surface (a simple indication of colour based on lightness/darkness) or calculate the opacity of a coating, plastic film or paper sample.
Measuring using 0/45º the Novo-Shade Duo measures the colour of a surface and not the specular reflectance (gloss).

Features:

• Measures using the 0/45º geometry
• Automatic calibration mode for safe and fast calibration
• Continuous-read feature for quickly checking large surfaces
• Statistical analysis gives an instant indication of batch quality
• Download, analyse and store readings in Novo-Soft
• Extended two year warranty - free for registered products
• Extended life light source - over 10 years operation

Standards:

• ISO 2814
• ISO 6504
• BS 3900-D4
• ASTM E1347
• ASTM

Hazemeter

The Novo-Haze 20/60º uses both geometries together to calculate the haze on a high-gloss or highly polished surface. Haze is when two high gloss surfaces have similar gloss values at 60º  angle, but one of the surfaces has a milky/hazy appearance compared to the other.
Poor product formulation or polishing effects leading to a drop in surface quality can quickly be identified using the Novo-Haze. The instrument can also be used as a Novo-Gloss 20/60ºS glossmeter.

Features:

• Calculates haze to ASTM 4039
• Measures using the 60º geometry
• Measures using the 20º geometry
• Compatible with all important international standards
• Full statistical analysis
• Constant read feature
• Measures matt to mirror finish
• Download, analyse and store readings in Novo-Soft
• Extended two year warranty - free with registration
• Accurate and reliable
• Calibrate to any standard

Standards:

• DIN EN ISO 2813
• ASTM D523
• ASTM D2457
• DIN67530
• JIS Z 8741
• ASTM D4039

MFFTB

The Rhopoint MFFT is the industry leading instrument for measuring the minimum film forming temperature of water based materials. Definition - “MFFT is the lowest temperature at which a latex, emulsion or adhesive will uniformly coalesce when laid on a substrate as a thin film.” An accurate MFFT value allows the formulation of products that cure correctly under specified application conditions.
The Rhopoint MFFT works by holding a very accurate temperature gradient across a nickel plated copper platen. A flow of dried air across the platen stops condensation forming and gives repeatable test conditions.
