Scope1.1 This test method has been harmonized with, and is technically equivalent to, ISO 9059.1.2 Two types of calibrations are

7、 covered by this test method. One is the calibration of a secondary reference pyrheliometerusing an absolute cavity pyrheliometer as the primary standard pyrheliometer, and the other is the transfer of calibration from asecondary reference to one or more field pyrheliometers.

With respect to time of year, the requirement for normalincidence dictates a tile angle from the horizontal that is dependent on the suns zenith angle and, thus, the air mass limits for thattime of year and time of day.5. Interfe

The direct irradianceshould not be less than 300 Wm2, but irradiance

45、 values exceeding 700 Wm2 is preferred.5.2 Sky ConditionsThe measurements made in determining the instrument constant shall be performed only under conditionswhen the sun is unobstructed by clouds for an incremental data-taking period. The most acceptable sky conditions should be suchthat the direct
