Measure
Percent Area
The
Multiple Phase Percent Area Module in IQmaterials was
designed for accurate and repeatable analysis.
It allows you to accurately discriminate and measure the
percentage of up to five phases in the field of view.
The
Percent Area Measurement is Often Used to Measure:
- Voids
- Porocity
- Cracks
- Fiber
lay-up
- Particulate
fill
- Delamination
/ separation
- Contamination
Example of an image with multiple (three) phases.
Identify and select multiple phases with IQmaterials.
After selecting the phases, use IQMaterials to measure
their percent area.

The
Grain Size Module in IQmaterials utilizes the General
Intercept Procedures described in both ASTM and ISO grain
size norms. This module offers an intuitive
interface and convenient walk-through Wizards that improve
the accuracy and throughput of your testing.
Grain
Size Measurement Features:
- Measure
the grain size using ASTM or ISO norms
- Choose
from intercept overlays, including:
- Circles
- Diagonal lines
- Horizontal lines
- Vertical lines
- Set
the boundary detection level with the interactive
histogram tool
Circular test line pattern is applied for grain boundary
counting.
Use IQmaterials to create customized reports.
Diagonal test line pattern is applied for grain boundary
counting.
Export measurement results to Excel.

Determine
Particle Size / Sphericity
The
Particle Size / Sphericity Module in IQmaterials makes
it easy to discriminate, measure and classify all particles
within your field of view. Apply measurements
such as area and shape factor with a simple click.
This module offers an intuitive interface and convenient
walk-through Wizards that improve the accuracy and throughput
of your testing.
Determine
Particle Size and other Measurements Including:
- Area
- Aspect
ratio
- Count
per unit area
- Length
- Orientation
- Perimeter
- Shape
factor
- Width
Particle
Size is Often Used to Measure:
- Voids
- Porosity
- Fibers
- Particulate
fill
- Inclusions,
Nitrides, Oxides, Carbides, Graphite and other Constituents
IQmaterials is used to select particle phases.
Easy walk-through tools let you select the
particle dimensions to be measured.
Particles dimensions are measured based on selected criteria.
