UV FAQs - especially for the use of UV sensors and UV light sources
These FAQs answer recurring questions on the use of UV sensors and UV light sources: choosing the spectral and measuring range, calibration and calibration intervals, spectral mismatch, calculating dose and irradiance, lamp cooling and ageing, the UV resistance of the materials used, and what to do when a UV lamp breaks. The answers apply equally to UV curing, disinfection, materials testing and occupational safety.
