ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for spectrophotometric analysis of material in a moving process stream wherein the material is directed into an observation chamber within a sample cell and exposed to a radiation beam suitable for spectrophotometric purposes. A radiation source and a radiation detector are contained within a first compartment and a second compartment environmentally isolated from the first compartment and within which the sample cell is contained. Reflectors are positioned within the second compartment for receiving the radiation beam from the first compartment, directing the radiation beam through the sample cell and the material to be analyzed contained therein, and directing the radiation beam back into the second compartment and the radiation detector positioned therein. The second compartment maintains the environment therein within a range acceptable for radiation analysis of the material within the sample cell. Mirrors are positioned within the second compartment for diverting the radiation beam from passage through the material and for determining a reference spectrum within the same environment as the sample cell and directing the diverted beam to the radiation detector.
