Aerospace | An instrument used for the measurement of direct solar radiation. See pyrheliometer.It is constructed in the following manner. A silver disk located at the lower end of a diaphragmed tube serves as the radiation receiver for a calorimeter. Radiation falling on the silver disk is periodically intercepted by means of a shutter located in the tube, causing temperature fluctuations of the calorimeter which are proportional to the intensity of the radiation. The instrument is normally used as a secondary instrument and is calibrated against the water-flow pyrheliometer. It is used by the U.S. Weather Bureau as a standard instrument. (references) |
