the cell in the same position in the cell holder facing the same direction.
Measurement is automatically performed and standard sample data is printed.
3) Next, remove the sample from the sample chamber. Place it back in the
sample chamber 5 times to confirm repeatability of the data.
<Acceptance criteria>
At a temperature of 20 - 30°C, the data must be within the range of +3.325
±0.007°.
The results of repeated measurements must also be within this range.
Note: Acceptance criterion of P-1010 corresponds to the expected value in the Test
Certificate for interference filter. This expected value is calculated for a 10mm
cell. Also the measurement value deteriorates depending on the change in
the transmittance of the filter.
