Abstract：
We briefly introduce the components of liquid scintillator used in neutrino experiment in this paper. The set-up, principles and methods of light yield and attenuation measurements for liquid scintillator are described, and liquid scintillator samples with different components are measured. We also studied the factors which affect the light yield and attenuation length of liquid scintillator. The measurement of our liquid scintillator sample shows it can meet the requirement of neutrino experiment.
