rIQ™ for Glass
Glass refractive index measurements.
rIQ Refractive Index of Glass
Measure and quantify the refractive index of glass
rIQ™ is designed to measure and quantify the refractive index of microscopic fragments of glass. rIQ™ stands for Refractive Index Quantification and is built based upon the thermo-optical methodology defined by ASTM E1967. As such, it is an automated system which measures the refractive index of microscopic glass fragments by monitoring the change in refractive index of calibrated oils as they are heated and cooled.
rIQ™: the smart choice for measuring the refractive index of glass.
The Intelligent solution for glass refractive index measurement.
