Will this meter measure heat rejection from tinted windows?

You can use it to measure solar power with and without the film, then use the measure as an indication for the film performance Without film should be somewhere around 1300w/m2 With a good film should drop to less than have this reading I do recommend this product

No. Meter measures Solar Heat Gain Coefficient- (SHGC) & /Or VT - Visible Transmissivity . You have to then hold meter up to Sun and get a total Solar Gain available. Divide the 2 to get a percentage of Solar gain thru window. Heat rejection is the opposite or what was not allowed thru glass from Sun , again a %.

It works by measuring the change in resistance in the metal probe tips caused by change in temperature of those tips. The probe tips change temperature by being in contact with whatever material you are taking a reading from. The thermal transfer from glass to metal probe tip will be somewhat slower than a metal-metal contact, how much slower I can't say, but shouldn't be much. So it will work, you just have to wait a bit longer for the temperature to stabilize.

Seems to. We always flip 1/2 way to insure. If u want u can put infared heat measure tool on each side to check. If u donat have one a instant read threm would work

I am not sure. I passed CA smog with it and they looked in to supposedly read some numbers. BUT there is a heat shield and I am not sure if they really read anything. If it is CA approved it should have the appropriate label I would guess. Things are not scrutinized at a high level of detail at most shops. You pass via the readings or not and they likely more just check that the converter and not a pipe is there.

No. It reads the "black body" radiation from the first surface it encounters. I presume your cover is insulated so the temp measured would be that of the outside layer of the insulation. Use a temperature probe in your scupper that has a wire to the readout like they do for barbecues. Those even allow you to set alarms for over/under temp situations.Good luck!

Can't say for absolute sure but I would say yes. I used the Mylar to cover the windows of my van in the desert and the difference in temp was remarkable.

It may reflect a glare from the glass or light entering window. Easiest way to do is mount it and check on it throughout day. One thing, it goes through the batteries and delay misses some action.

can not tell you r rating it stops all light and heat that might come into a window night or day

No it measures surface temperatures. It's a laser, so it only travels as far as the light will allow it.

Yes, but the heat from the gun could crack the glass. I wouldn't use his, why not a 5% window tint?

It seems as tho it would - I wouldn't think that tint would keep window from breaking ! Not mentioned - hope I never need to find out

To my knowledge, it has had no effect and should not affect the detection of the ambient temperature. Only the face plate of the thermostat is covered, and there are ample vents on all four of the remaining surfaces to allow for temperature to be detected. I have seen and experienced similar thermostat covers, and each one has seemed to accomplish its purpose without blocking the flow of air.

Hi. If you mean like cracks in the wall(s) or something like that, maybe. I haven't tested in those areas yet; but, it might work. But if you were wanting to detect mold growth or find out the humidity levels, that device won't do it. It only takes temperature from a fixed distance (see chart or if you own one, it's on the right side of the device). Hope this helps!

Great question. I don't believe so. It will show the temp. of whatever is reflecting off of behind the vent. or the vent itself. However, after a short time the vent will probably be the temp. of the air passing through it. Not much mass and it will heat (or cool) fairly quickly. I have never checked for accuracy of the recorded measurement though if you are trying to get an accurate #. I use it for differences in temperature of surrounding items. Hot bearings or for leaks in a wall or roof where water soaked material will make the temp. different than the surrounding area.

I don't believe so, but I do believe windshields are all tempered glass. Look online about your particular model. I don't think tint affects that in the least.

Probably not as a direct reading. Likely the surface temperature of the glass will be read. You would likely have more luck measuring the surrounding walls and frame.

It works only on exterior. You will need a probe to check the interior temp.
