KMS10 transmittance and reflectance measurement system

Applications
The X-Rite Optronik KMS10 is a specialized measuring instrument used for various applications to measure luminous reflectance and transmittance of different materials.

• Its design is based upon the properties of an integrating sphere.
• Its design follows the guidelines defined by DIN5036 section 3 and CIE Publication No. 38 (1987) (Measurement of transmittance and reflectance)
• In addition, it is suitable for measurements according to ECE-R46, ISO 5740-1982 (Measurement of the reflectance of flat and convex rear mirrors).
• Many additional applications are possible wherever information on reflectance and transmittance is needed.
• Relative measuring method: Reflectance and/or transmittance standards with defined reflectance properties required
