86160A Transmission Meter
Specifically Designed for Window Tint and Film (<0.8mm)
Compact and Portable
Measures IR Rejection, UV Rejection, and Visible Light Transmittance
The 86160A Transmission Meter is a specialized device for testing the light transmission characteristics of various solar control films, including automotive and architectural window films, insulation films, and coatings. It accurately measures three key parameters: visible light transmittance, ultraviolet (UV) rejection rate, and infrared (IR) rejection rate. With its compact size, the device is highly portable and ideal for field use.

FAQ

1.The difference between86160 (940nm) and 86160A (1400nm) window film transmission meters
The main difference between 86160 and 86160A is that the peak wavelength of the built-in infrared light source is different, 86160: 940nm, 86160A: 1400nm, these two wavelengths are more representative, most of the absorption film has a better rejection effect on 940nm infrared. The metallic film (insulation by reflecting heat) has a better rejection effect on 1400nm infrared. Please choose the appropriate model according to your own film category.

2. The difference between 86160A and 86162A window film transmission meters
The appearance and size is different and the measurement parameters are basically the same; the test notch of 86160A is 0.8mm, which is only suitable for testing materials with a thickness of less than 0.8mm;
The test notch of 86162A is 8mm, which can test films and stick-film glass. It can also directly measure automobile side windshield.
