TEMP 2000A

(US Patent Number 5,659,397)

The AZ Technology TEMP 2000A Portable Emissometer represents substantial innovation and considerable advancement in laboratory portable instrumentation for determining ambient temperature total emittance. It is compact, light-weight, rugged, and ergonomically designed for ease of use in the field or in the laboratory.

The TEMP 2000A, by virtue of an advanced optical system, provides a portable reflectometer/emissometer that performs total hemispheric reflectance measurements from less than 3 to greater than 35 micrometers wavelength and is not limited in wavelength range due to filters, windows, or coatings, placed in the optical path. The TEMP 2000A optical system has been designed to minimize losses, to facilitate and maintain optical alignment, and to utilize the features of AZ Technology's patented ellipsoid collector that allows compactness for portability, efficiency, and measurement accuracy. The TEMP 2000A provides improved performance and maintainability over the Gier Dunkle DB-100 IR Reflectometer and in accordance with the ASTM E-408 standard.

The table below lists specifications for the TEMP 2000A.
