Not a cloud in the sky and it becomes dangerous: the natural UV radiation from solar energy, but also the UV radiation from artificial sources, have different effects on human skin depending on the wavelength range. Ahlborn offers a global radiation sensor with which the Measure solar radiation leaves and a measuring head for UVE rays.

Measure solar radiation

 

The E in UVE radiation stands for the word Erythema and is a dermatological term for skin redness. The long-wave UV radiation above 313 nm, UVA tans the skin and strengthens the immune system, the short-wave UV radiation below 313 nm, UVB/UVE can cause irreversible damage.

Measure solar radiation stationary or mobile

The Measuring head FLD7 03/33-UVE is used to measure solar radiation in meteorological, medical or biological applications. Examples are in the fields of medical and biological Research to be found in the measurement of UV irradiation devices for cosmetic purposes, medical treatments or other applications on humans, in weather information systems or for weather forecasting, in climate research and for general planning as population information.

The sensitivity of the measuring head corresponds to the standards DIN 5050 and ISO / CIE 17166 and the regulation for the protection against harmful effects of artificial ultraviolet radiation. The is for outdoor use to measure the sun's rays Sensor in a weatherproof housing. The UVE measuring range of both versions has values ​​from 0,1 to 300 mW / m2.

The digital measuring head works with its own AD converter. Cables can be easily extended, which does not affect the accuracy of the sunlight measurement. All relevant measurements are calculated from the measured irradiance and output to the measuring device.

The one determined by the German weather service UX index is a popular measure for determining sunburn sensitivity. With the sensors FLD7 03-UVE and FLD7 033-UVE the erythema effective irradiance is measured in W/m2 measured. The UV index is the relative irradiance based on 25mW / m2.

Global radiation sensor for measuring solar radiation 

ahlborn13.07.2010/XNUMX/XNUMX: All of the diffuse and direct hitting the earth's surface solar radiation is called global radiation. Conventional sensors always measure only part of this radiation energy. The new global radiation sensor type FLA613 T1B11 from Ahlborn was equipped as a combined measuring head and detects almost 90% of the solar spectrum. The measuring range values ​​from 280 to 1100 nm include UVA, VIS and some of the IR radiation.

With its permissible working temperature of -20 to +60 ° C, the sensor for global radiation can be used not only in medical and biological research, but also for measurements in weather information and forecast systems or in the Climate research as well as in the agricultural sector. The sensor has a weatherproof, anodized aluminum housing. The FLA 613 T1B11 can be connected to all of the company's data loggers and measuring devices. When using multi-channel devices, the measurement setups can be easily completed with humidity, temperature or wind speed sensors.
