What is UV radiometer calibration?
UV radiometer calibration ensures these instruments accurately measure the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Calibration is essential to maintain the reliability of UV-based processes such as sterilisation, curing, and environmental monitoring. It involves comparing the UV sensor’s output with a traceable reference standard under controlled conditions.
Why is UV radiometer calibration important?
UV radiometers are used across many industries where precise UV intensity is critical. Regular calibration is important to:
-
Maintain accurate sterilisation and disinfection processes in healthcare
-
Ensure consistency in UV curing applications in printing and coatings
-
Support accurate monitoring in meteorology and ozone measurement
-
Meet regulatory and quality control standards
-
Detect sensor degradation caused by prolonged UV exposure
What industries rely on UV radiometer calibration?
UV radiometers are widely used in:
-
Healthcare (disinfection and disease prevention)
-
Pharmaceuticals (sterilisation processes)
-
Printing (UV curing of inks and adhesives)
-
Meteorology (UV radiation and ozone depletion measurement)
