RCH-008

In UV-A curing applications requiring deep curing of adhesives and paints, longer-wave UV radiation in the UV-A and blue spectral regions is used to excite the photoinitiators. UV-A radiometers for these applications must be designed in such a way that they only measure the irradiance in the actinic range of the photoinitiators. See our application note about general UV curing measurements and our product overview about UV curing meters.

Product Description of RCH-008 UV-A Irradiance Detector

The UV-A detector RCH-008 was specially developed for use in UV curing with discharge lamps. It offers all the features and functions of the detectors of the RCH high temperature stable and flat design series. Its spectral responsivity covers the wavelength range from 320 nm to 390 nm, which is used in particular for deep curing of adhesives and paints.

Calibration

The detectors are calibrated with regard to their responsivity to irradiance and are supplied with a factory calibration certificate that corresponds to the high standard of the measuring laboratory for optical radiation measurements of Gigahertz-Optik. If necessary, a test certificate accredited according to DIN EN ISO / IEC 17025 can optionally be created for the detector with the associated measuring device.
