| Hand held laboratory and industrial grade instrument
measuring the UV radiation hazard to eyes and skin.
APPLICATIONS
The model 6D is a valuable safety tool for any industry
that involves worker exposure to UV radiation. It is sensitive
to ultraviolet radiation specified as hazardous in standards
published by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial
Hygienists. Those standards state that the total UV exposure
in an eight-hour period should not exceed 3 millijoules
per square centimeter at 270nm. Other wavelengths have hazardous
potential related to that of 270nm by the Spectral Weighting
Function (see figure available in this menu). The Safety
Meter monitors the integrated effect of all ultraviolet
wavelengths from the light source
CONFIGURATION
Model 6D Ultraviolet Safety Meter comes as a hand held
meter with self-contained detector mounted on the top panel
of the meter. It is activated by a sliding ON/OFF switch.
The maximum safe exposure time, in hours and 1/100 parts
of an hour, is shown on the LCD. A reading of 10.00 hours
indicates too weak a source to reach the Threshold Limit
Value during 8 hour working day. |
