1. The Invention

Title: UV radiometer with laser rangefinder for control of radiation emission at work stations

The problem the inventors wanted to solve:

UV radiometer with laser rangefinder, which would enable to perform measurements of total intensity of UV radiation at work stations, in particular short pulses of such radiation associated with welding operations.

Description: The measuring set is composed of the UV detection head provided with a laser rangefinder for precise measurement of the distance from the point of radiation emission, and a recorder. The measurement data obtained are processed in a laptop computer using a dedicated purpose-designed software that enables to integrate the recorded short pulses with 1 ms step, and to evaluate a total exposition to UV radiation at work stations.

Presentation: POSTER

Fields of application: Measurements of short UV impulses, e.g. in welding with use of welders for studs (joining standardised metal studs of different size), as applied e.g. in automotive industry.

Advantages: To detect short pulses of UV radiation the radiation, UV GaN-based detectors are used, insensitive to the visible spectrum, with a sharp-cut characteristics for the visual part of the spectrum, together with a specially developed pure optical (UV) system for selection of measurement ranges specified in the standards to determine the biological UV dose absorbed at work stations without the necessity of any typical UV filters use.
