Kipp & Zonen Delft BV CM21/31 Pyranom eters
Suitable for the m easurem ent of solar irradiance on a plane surface.
- im proved specifications in com parison with the CM11.
- also available with quartz dom es (CM31) yielding a broader range and reduced offsets.
Essentially the pyranom eter CM21 has the sam e characteristics as the CM11. Som e of these specifications
have been im proved:
