MetSpec™
 AXYS Technologies Inc. (AXYS) is proud to introduce MetSpec™, a new
high-performance radiation shield for meteorological equipment, developed
in conjunction
with the U.K. Meteorological Office
The MetSpec Radiation
Shield is constructed of durable UPVC and aluminium. Unlike traditional
wooden screens, MetSpec does not require regular
maintenance and has a longer operational life span. This specially
constructed screen
has lower thermal and humidity latency than wooden screens, which
translates to increased response times and improved measurement
accuracy.
MetSpec’s synthetic and inorganic materials offer outstanding UV
protection as well as resistance to biological and chemical degradation.
For increased durability the aluminium frame is subjected to a ten-stage
cleaning and priming process, followed by an electrostatic application
of polyester powder baked on for added resilience.
MetSpec louvers are made from premium grade acrylic (PMMA) with added
UV stabilizers for an extremely low yellowing index. Exterior louvers are
coloured white and interior louvers are coloured black. This colour combination
is based on test results from the U.K. Meteorological Office, proving that
a white exterior and black interior produced the best radiation shielding,
resulting in improved internal sensor readings. MetSpec comes equipped
with either four standard thermometer mountings, or two vertical mounting
rails.
MetSpec is currently used in applications for both manual and automated
observations in the U.K. Synoptic Station Network, and on oil and gas rigs
in the North Sea, Iceland, Ireland, Belgium, Hong Kong, and Oman.
