UV exposure meter assures process continuity
UV exposure meter assures process continuity
Keywords: International Light Inc, Radiometer, UV
A compact, self-contained, battery powered radiometer that reportedly can withstand both intense UV irradiance and extremely high temperatures for performing N.I.S.T. traceable quality control measurements is available from International Light, Inc. of Newburyport, Massachusetts, U.S.A.
The IL390C Light Bug is said to measure UV exposure in the actual harsh UV radiation environments found inside curing ovens and photoresist and printing plate exposure systems. Allowing the monitoring of lamp output during operation process continuity, the instrument includes N.I.S.T. traceable calibration per ANSI Z.540-1 and ISO 10012-1, it claims to operate over a wide dynamic range of 1 x 10-3 to 20w/cm2, and can withstand up to 500°C (30sec) (Plate 5).

It claims nearly perfect cosine spatial reponse to permit full measurements from oblique angles, the IL390C Light Bug measures only 12.7 thick, It has a 6-digit LCD display, runs on 2 LiFl, batteries which provide a typical 5 year service life, and its rugged, highly polished UV reflective detector housing is machined from solid aluminium with high 'g' force mount on all critical components.
