Abstract
A self-calibrating optical reflectance probe system having an illuminant light source to illuminate a sample material, optical pickup means to collect reflected light from the sample material, and an articulated white reference reflection standard for illuminant reference to provide a system capable of accurately measuring optical reflectance and automated verification of proper operation. The probe system preferably employs an uncomplicated mount using a single pipe fitting and clamp.
Claims4
A mount for an optical reflectance probe system, the mount consisting essentially of a single sanitary pipe fitting and clamp.
A mount for an optical reflectance probe system, the mount comprising:
- a housing containing the optical reflectance probe system and having an integral curved viewport window to reduce reflected light from the window surface;
- and
- an assembly on the housing for mounting the housing, the assembly comprising a single sanitary pipe fitting and clamp.
