IQ 20/60 Concrete Clarity Meter (CCM)

The Rhopoint IQ Concrete Clarity Meter measures Reflected Image Quality; it is the only hand held instrument that profiles how light is reflected from a surface. Glossmeters are usually used to measure the shininess of a surface but are not sensitive to other effects which reduce appearance quality.

Unlike a standard glossmeter the IQ Concrete Clarity Meter has the unique capability of measuring and detecting quality problems caused by microscopic texture in the surface that cause haze and orange-peel effects which lead to poor Distinctness of Image (DOI).

These factors can seriously affect the visual impact and reflective quality of many coated, painted and polished surfaces. By measuring the quality of the reflected image it accurately profiles how light is reflected from a surface.

The Concrete Clarity Meter (CCM) can measure:

• 20/60° Gloss
• RSPEC
• Reflectance haze
• Reflected image quality (RIQ)
• Distinctness of Image (DOI)

 

 Concrete Polishing Council Polished Concrete Appearance Chart

Level	Name	Distinctness of Image (DOI) Gloss	Image Clarity Value, %	Level
1	Flat (Ground)	Images of objects being reflected have a flat appearance	0-9	<10
2	Satin (Honed)	Images of objects being reflected have a matte appearance	10-39
3	Polished	Images of objects being reflected do not have a sharp or crisp appearance, but can be easily identified	40-69
4	Highly Polished	Images of objects being reflected have a sharp and crisp appearance as would be seen in a near-mirror like reflection. May require grouting	70-100
