Solar Light Company, Inc. Model 6D Ultraviolet Safety Meter

Solar Light’s Model 6D Ultraviolet Safety Meter is a valuable safety tool for any industry that involves worker exposure to UV radiation. It is sensitive to ultraviolet radiation specified as hazardous by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. These standards state that the total UV exposure in an eight-hour period should not exceed 3 millijoules per square centimeter at 270nm. The 6D Safety Meter monitors the integrated effect of all ultraviolet wavelengths from the light source.

This compact laboratory-grade instrument is handheld, with a self-contained detector mounted on its top panel, and a simple on/off switch operation. The meter’s LCD displays the maximum safe exposure time in hours down to the hundredths detail. A reading of 10.00 hours indicates a safe source too weak to reach the Threshold Limit Value during 8 hour working day.

Applications include environmental monitoring, UV curing, semiconductor fabrication, printing, and welding.
