Merged Reflective Event
Merged Reflective Event
This symbol denotes a reflective event combined with one or more other
reflective events. It also indicates the total loss produced by the merged
reflective events following it in the events table.
³ A Merged Reflective Event is composed of reflective events. Only the
Merged Reflective Event is displayed in the events table, not the
reflective subevents composing it.
³ Reflective events may indicate the presence of connectors,
mechanical splices, or poor-quality fusion splices or cracks.
³ A reflectance value is specified for all merged reflective events and
indicates the maximum reflectance for the merged event. A
reflectance value, corresponding to the highest reflectance value
among all subevents composing the Merged Reflective Event, is also
displayed.
