Technology's TESA 2000 Portable Emissometer/Reflectometer and Solar Reflectometer, is
compact, lightweight, rugged, and ergonomically
engineered for ease of use in the field
or in the laboratory to determine ambient temperature total emittance and solar reflectance of test surfaces.
The TESA 2000 can be conveniently used in a laboratory setting (top right image) where samples can be sat atop the instrument and left while repeated measurements are being taken, or as a portable unit (bottom right image).
The TESA 2000 provides in a single unit:
1) A portable emissometer/reflectometer
that performs optically integrated total
hemispheric reflectance measurements from
less than 3 to greater than 35 micrometers
wavelength. Thus, performing the same measurement
as the TEMP 2000A (the recognized replacement for the no longer produced Gier Dunkle DB-100
IR Reflectometer**), providing improved
emittance determination performance and maintainability, and
in accordance with the ASTM E408 standard.
2) A portable solar reflectometer
that performs optically integrated total
hemispheric reflectance measurements.
The TESA 2000 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 (Patent Number 5,659,397) that allows compactness
for portability, efficiency, and measurement
accuracy. The instrument is fully portable
and can be used in the most remote locations.
The instrument is available with carrying
cases (which will fit in the overhead bin
of most jet aircraft), rechargeable batteries,
battery charger, instrument inspection head,
display unit, and an operator vest.
The table below lists specifications for the TESA 2000.
*Note: terms reflectance, emittance and absorptance and terms reflectivity, emissivity and absorptivity are often used interchangeably. **The TESA 2000 represents an excellent option for replacing a Gier Dunkle DB100 while adding more capabilities and increased portability.
