UV radiometer X1-1-UV-3726

X1-1-UV-3726 UV radiometer for UV-C LEDs and low-pressure Hg germicidal lamps Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a sterilization method that uses short wavelength light in the UV-C region (100 nm to 400 nm) to break down microorganisms such as viruses, bacteria, yeasts and fungi. The maximum effectiveness for germicidal activity is around 265 nm. The DNA and RNA of microorganisms absorbs the UV-C radiation, which causes changes in their structure rendering them unable to replicate. Microorganisms can be destroyed in a very short time if exposed to sufficiently high intensity UV-C radiation. To ensure the germicidal effect, the UV dose must be checked. This is achieved by measuring the UV irradiance at the location of exposure using a UV radiometer. In addition to checking the desired germicidal effect of high intensity UV radiation, the potential risk to skin and eyes from relatively low UV intensity must also be determined if there is the possibility of human exposure to the UV radiation. Carrying out both measurements with one device requires UV radiometers with a very large dynamic range. Product description UV-3726 Irradiance Detector for UV-C LEDs and low-pressure Hg lamps The UV-3726 model offers all the properties and features of the UV-37 series detectors. They are specially designed for radiometric measurement tasks in the UV spectral region and have been proven in industrial and scientific use over many years. The UV-3726 detector incorporates a photodiode that is only sensitive in the short-wave spectral range. In conjunction with additional optical filtering, only radiation in the specified spectral sensitivity range is measured.
