Radiometers (Non-Spotcuring Application):
For high-energy applications (up to 10W/cm2 on UVA, B & V and up to 1W/cm2 on UVC), use any radiometer except UVIRAD; for low-intensity applications (100uW/cm2 - 100mW/cm2), use only the UVIRAD.
Spotcuring Only:
Use SpotCure for any application involving light guides used in spotcuring systems.
Lamp Monitors:
Use lamp monitors for high- or low-intensity applications; for more specific information on the type of online monitor to use, see "Which On-Line Lamp Monitoring System Should I Use?".
Miscellaneous:
If you need to read in Joules/com2 (energy density), use a radiometer (check for other necessary criteria). Online lamp monitors read only in percentage of original output. If you'd like to read both energy density and peak UV irradiance, all EIT radiometers will give you this information.
If you are using a straight, horizontal tunnel (no vertically, no rollers), all choices are open and you can use a radiometer or any online monitor.
If you are using a web press, or if you are using any UV system involving vertical motion and/or involving pinch rollers, use an online monitor or PALM Probe
If you are curing in very small batch modes, or using very small conveyors for small parts curing, use MicroCure. Because of its tiny size, it can fit into previously inaccessible areas.
If you are performing small container curing (cosmetic containers, shampoo bottles, tubes, or cans), try MicroCure for best results since it is able to be inserted into small areas, can travel horizontally or vertically, and can travel over most idler rollers.
