MetSpec - Offshore Radiation Shields
No matter how careful you have been in your choice of sensors, the choice of a high specification shield is vital. This will help to ensure that you maintain measurement accuracy and protect your sensors from blowing precipitation, insect life and debris. Because these factors can seriously impact on the performance of even the most expensive and accurate sensors.
We ensure that only the latest and best material technologies are used in all our products. Our extensive experience in developing, testing and manufacturing, and an ongoing programme of research and development ensures that our products are unique and are always fit for purpose.

The data in the graph are averages that show the mean temperature difference as a function of wind speed. Temperature measurements from each passive shield were compared to temperature measurements from an active shield. Trial period: September 5, 2013 to August 25, 2014.
Two Shields of each type were used in this test. Datalogger: Campbell Scientific CR1000 Sensors: Campbell Scientific 109SS-l Thermistor Site installation: 3 meters above normally irrigated and cut grass. Location: Logan, UT USA.
RAD 06, 10 & 14 plate Shields
- Small, compact and rugged
- Double louvred high impact U.V stable polycarbonate plastic louver plates
- Matt black undersides to reduce solar radiation influxes
- Gloss white aluminium arm featuring ‘Surtec 650’ pre-treatment
- Durable white polyester powder coating
- Stainless steel ‘V’ bolt, and securing nuts to fit a pole of between 25 – 51 mm in diameter.
- Fits onto both horizontal and verticalstructures
- Fully RoHS compliant in conjunction with sensors
Probe compatibility
RAD 06:
Houses short thin probes from 5 – 12 mm in diameter with up to 94 mm of the probe inside the shield
RAD 10:
Houses probes 9 – 17 mm in diameter taking up 160 mm of the probe inside the shield
RAD 14:
Houses large probes 14 – 25 mm in diameter taking up 226 mm of the probe inside the shield NOTE: other sizes of tensioning glands maybe fitted as required on.
