UV light - Measurement:
The need to measure UV varies according to your application but one residing common feature is true for all - if you don’t know the wavelength and intensity of the UV source, how can you be sure that the process is going to work in the predicted manner?
This applies to everything from sunlamps (where you want your client to tan but not burn), to the print shop (where the printer needs to know that his inks will fully cure and not remain sticky) or germicidal applications where you need to know that the wavelength and intensity is sufficient to kill the organism targeted.
Why is it important to know the wavelength and intensity - surely if the process works and the lamp is glowing there can be no problem?
Perhaps so, but who would cook a cake without checking the temperature of the oven and the length of time required for cooking?
In these days of monitoring and double check it amazes us how many people are happy to run a UV process without monitoring the UV. You’d be surprised at the levels of throughput and increased profits you can yield simply by monitoring your UV process to ensure it’s running at maximum efficiency!
Alpha UV has a range of UV “Radiometers” for various applications: |
