Radiometer UVX

UV Measuring Instrument UVX

The digital readout is in radiometric units with a broad dynamic range from 0.1 μW/cm² to 20 mW/cm² with accuracy and precision traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

The UVX radiometer is suitable for a wide range of research and industrial applications.
Typical applications using UV light sources include genetic experiments, photochemical reactions, sterilization procedures, optical laboratory measurements, experimental biology, dermatological research, non-destructive testing, and graphics procedures.

The UVX's range switch provides selection from three intensity ranges:

• 0 - 20 mW/cm²
• 0 - 200 mikroW/cm²
• 0 - 2000 mikroW/cm²

Unit includes a port for attachment of a chart recorder (user provided).

The UVX is powered by a 9-volt battery, making it completely portable. (Battery sufficient for up to 120 hours of operation)
Not included.

The UVX series sensors are designed and calibrated for measurement of radiant incidences from line type and phosphor coated mercury arc source. Depending on the measuring range, select an appropriate sensor for your radiometer.

Optional Attenuator
A 10:1 attenuator extends the reading range to up to 200 mW/cm².
The attenuator is used to enable measurements that require high UV light intensity without overloading the detector or producing false readings.
