Core functions and technical indicators of the product

1. Core performance

• Measurement abilitySpecially designed for measuring mirror, diffuse reflectance, and total solar reflectance, in accordance with ASTM E903 and C1549 standard testing methods.

• spectral rangeUnder near normal incidence conditions, it covers 7 discrete spectral bands (335-2500 nm) and can choose 8 solar irradiance functions (such as AM 0, 1.5, etc.).

• data parsingCan distinguish between specular and diffuse components in total reflectance and calculate solar absorption rate (for opaque materials).

• 

2. Operating parameters

• Measurement efficiencyCalibration only takes 1 minute, and a single measurement takes 10 seconds. The data can be viewed instantly on the touch screen.

• portabilityPowered by batteries (2-hour battery life), the entire machine weighs 4.7 lbs and is equipped with a touch screen and handheld design, suitable for on-site and laboratory use.
