The company began in 1830 when Dutch pharmacist Petrus Jacobus Kipp bought a pharmacy shop in the centre of Delft and gave it his name. Shortly afterwards he started an instrument business and became an important adviser to the Royal Academy, now the Delft University of Technology. In 1844 he designed a constant-flow gas generator, which was used in chemical laboratories all over the world. This ‘Kipp Generator’ remains part of our company logo today. In 1866 his two sons joined the business and the name changed to Kipp & Zonen (‘Sons’). Precise long-term measurements of the radiation...

CM4 is a high temperature pyranometer for measuring solar or artificial light irradiance under the most extreme temperature conditions. With an operating temperature range from -40 °C to +150 °C and measurement up to 4000 W/m2 it is a unique instrument. All the radiometer components are specially selected for their ability to withstand these extremely high temperature and irradiance levels. CM4 has internal first-order temperature compensation, but it is also supplied with a built in Pt-100 temperature sensor to provide additional information on the measurement conditions. To optimize the...

CMP3 is an ISO Second Class pyranometer designed for shortwave global solar radiation measurements in the spectral range from 300 to 2800 nm. The thermopile detector measures irradiance up to 2000 W/m2 with a response time less than 18 seconds and typical sensitivity of 10 pV/W/m2, that varies less than 5 % from -10 °C to +40 °C. CMP3 is smaller and lighter than the other CMP series pyranometers. It has a robust 4 mm thick glass dome to protect the thermopile detector from external influences. The small size and sealed construction make this instrument the ideal choice for horticulture,...

SMP3 is our entry level smart pyranometer. It is ISO Second Class, with the same housing and detector design as the passive CMP3 model. SMP3 is equipped with a smart interface. There are two versions, one has an analogue output of 0 to 1 V, the other has 4 to 20 mA. Both have a 2-wire RS-485 interface with Modbus® (RTU) protocol. All the outputs are protected against short-circuits. SMP series pyranometers have analog outputs that allow easy connection to virtually any data logger without the need for sensitive mV inputs. Modbus® interfaces directly to RTU’s, PLC’s, SCADA systems,...

CMP6 is an ISO First Class pyranometer. It has a similar detector to CMP3, but has improved performance due to the increased thermal mass and the double glass dome construction. The tilt response and levelling accuracy are also improved. The bubble level is visible through the snap-on white sun shield. The drying cartridge keeps the instrument free of internal condensation and is easily removable. CMP6 is ideal for cost-effective, good quality, measurements in meteorological and hydrological networks and agriculture. Performance can be further improved by using the CVF4 Ventilation Unit. A...
