Calculated Transmission Using a Portable Spectroreflectometer

Abstract

Under normal circumstances, a spectrophotometer is used to measure transmission of material samples. However, a sample may be too large to fit into the spectrophotometer chamber, or a field inspection may be required. This Technical Publication describes the procedure for using measurements made with a portable spectroreflectometer to calculate transmission. A similar procedure is used to calculate infrared transmission using measurements from a portable infrared reflectometer
