Description
Retroreflectometers for road markings are portable field measuring instruments used to simulate the brightness of road markings as seen by drivers at night under vehicle headlamp illumination. The main measured parameter is the night-time luminous retroreflectance coefficient, also known as RL value, expressed in mcd·m-2·lx-1.
This instrument is used to evaluate the retroreflective performance of road markings and is suitable for laboratory testing, on-site inspection, construction acceptance, routine maintenance checks, and quality supervision. It is widely used by road marking manufacturers, road marking construction companies, testing institutions, and road quality supervision units.
For buyers in this field, the key concern is not only whether the instrument can measure data, but whether it can do so quickly, accurately, and conveniently in outdoor working conditions. A good retroreflectometer should reduce testing time, simplify calibration, store complete data records, and make field inspection more efficient for operators.
Our retroreflectometers for road markings are developed to meet these practical needs.
How we help solve customer pain points
1. Fast measurement for field efficiency
Road inspection work often needs to be completed quickly, especially on active roads or during project acceptance. This instrument supports rapid measurement and can measure the retroreflective coefficient value within 3 seconds, helping improve inspection efficiency and reduce waiting time on site.
2. Easy operation and simple calibration
Complicated calibration procedures can slow down testing and increase the chance of operating errors. This instrument supports a simple calibration procedure and, under the same field measurement conditions, supports one-off calibration of all colors before testing without separately calibrating different colors each time.
3. Reliable outdoor usability
Field measurement often involves strong sunlight, long working hours, and changing environmental conditions. The instrument supports a high-brightness LCD transparent touch screen, making the interface clearly visible under illumination. It also supports real-time display of on-site temperature and humidity.
4. Long battery life for continuous inspection
For mobile testing teams, battery life is a major concern. This retroreflectometer is equipped with a large-capacity built-in battery and supports continuous working time of more than 72 hours, helping reduce interruptions during road inspection tasks.
5. Complete data storage and export
Many customers need not only measurement results, but also organized test records for reporting, review, and compliance documentation. The instrument supports storing more than 99,999 pieces of test data, including measurement data, operator, road section information, and testing time. It also supports 8G SD card storage and Excel-format data export to a computer through a U disk.
6. Better on-site reporting and communication
To improve现场检测效率 and reporting convenience, the instrument supports real-time voice broadcast of measured data, locking on-site detection data, and directly printing out testing results through a printer.
