Transmissometer Set

A Transmissometer Set is a type of instrument used in meteorology to measure the transmission of light through the atmosphere. It is typically used to determine visibility and monitor air pollution levels. The set usually includes a light source, a receiver, and a display unit.

The light source emits a beam of light, which is then detected by the receiver. The receiver measures the intensity of the received light and calculates the transmissivity of the atmosphere based on the ratio of the transmitted light to the incident light. This information is then displayed on the unit, providing a measurement of visibility or air quality.

Transmissometer Sets are commonly used in airports, weather stations, and research facilities to monitor atmospheric conditions. They are important tools for meteorologists and environmental scientists to understand and predict weather patterns, as well as to assess air quality and pollution levels.

In the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment, Transmissometer Sets are classified under the supply class Meteorological Instruments And Apparatus. This class includes various instruments and apparatus used for meteorological measurements, such as barometers, anemometers, rain gauges, and thermometers.
