940nm window tint meter is recommended for measuring absorbing film (glass)
1400nm window tint meter is recommended for measuring metallic film or ceramic film (glass)
LS182 window tint meter can be used for absorbing film, metallic film and ceramic film
If you need to measure both the rejection rate and the transmittance, you can choose LS163 or LS163A window tint meter.
III. FAQ about window tint meter
1. Which test result is more accurate between window tint meter with 940nm and 1400nm light source?
No matter which window tint meter is used, the test data is objective and accurate.The two bands of 940nm and 1400nm are relatively representative bands of sun spectrum.
Most of the absorption films (heat-absorbing films) have better infrared blocking effect at 940nm, while the magnetron sputtering reflection film has better blocking effect at 1400nm such as metallic film and ceramic nano film.
Please choose the right window tint meter for your own window film category.
2. The difference between a metalic film and an heat-absorbing film?
The metalic film is produced by a magnetron sputtering process. A large amount of metal elements are added and the has a good reflection ability to the infrared film. It is insulated by the principle of reflecting infrared rays.
The heat-absorbing film is added with an infrared absorber during production and the infrared is absorbed by the film. It is insulated by the absorption principle and secondary heat radiation will be generated after the heat absorption is saturated.
