How to Measure Ultraviolet Radiation Intensity by a UV Lamp Intensity Meter?

What is ultraviolet light? Ultraviolet light means that the wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum is from 10 nm to 400 nm. The ultraviolet light is divided into three bands of UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. How to measure ultraviolet radiation intensity？A professional UV lamp intensity meter ( also called uv light intensity meter) should be used for testing.

Ultraviolet light means that the wavelength of the electromagnetic spectrum is from 10 nm to 400 nm and cannot be perceived by the naked eye. According to the band, UV is divided into three categories: UV-A, UV-B and UV-C:

1. UV-A is a long-wave UV-transparent, wavelength 315 nm - 400 nm, which can make the skin elastic and collagen fibers, can make the skin tan.

2. UV-B is a medium-wave ultraviolet ray with erythema effect to promote mineral metabolism and vitamin D formation in the body, the wavelength is 280 nm - 320 nm, but long-term exposure is not recommended, because it will tan the skin caused by erythema peeling.

3. UV-C is a short-wave ultraviolet ray that has a bactericidal effect. The wavelength is 200 nm – 280 nm. The UV-C wavelength is very harmful to the human body. Short-term exposure can burn the skin. If it is exposed for a long time, it will cause skin cancer.

Ultraviolet rays are often used in our lives. UV-C is often used in hospital germicidal lamps. UV-B is often used in health care physiotherapy lamps. UV-A is often used in curing lamps in the curing industry. Generally, the intensity and energy of ultraviolet light are detected. It is recommended to use an ultraviolet radiation meter (UV meter) such as the UV lamp intensity meter LS126C for professional detection of UVC wavelength or the multi-probe UV lamp intensity meter LS125 for detecting the UV light intensity of UV-B,UV-A and UV-C. LS127C integrated UV irradiation meter is also a professional instrument for measuring the UV intensity of UVC 254nm.

First, an UVC lamp intensity measurement device is necessary. The LS126C and LS127C are both professional UVC germicidal lamp UVC intensity measurement instruments, the LS126C is more powerful. Next let's look at the method for detecting UVC germicidal/ disinfecting light source with LS126C UV lamp intensity meter:

1. LS126C UV measurement device as a professional UV lamp intensity meter will be provided with a 1 meter extension hook, the customer only needs to stretch the hook to 1 meter and then directly hang the meter on the 254nm UV lamp tube, then put the UV lamp intensity meter on the tray then turn on the UV disinfection lamp to start test.

2. If the customer downloads the uv meter app for LS126C, the Bluetooth function can also be used. The uv lamp intensity meter can be connected to the uv meter APP. The transmission distance of the Bluetooth is 50 meters in an open place. With this Bluetooth function, the test staff won't get hurt by the UV rays. You can stay out of the testing room and view the data on the mobile phone.

3. After the automatic shutdown of the instrument, we reboot to see the latest measurement data, the instrument shows the Prec value is the intensity at the moment of shutdown, and we generally judge whether the lamp is up to standard based on this value. In addition, there is a record of the maximum value of the lamp, the minimum value, the average value and other parameters.
