The DEUTROMETER makes it easy and convenient to measure magnetic field strength and monitor limit values. With a special probe, it is now also possible to measure UV and white light.

For magnetic particle testing and penetrant testing, the viewing conditions must be monitored. In order to prove compliance with the standard DIN EN ISO 3059:2013-03, two separate measuring gauges were required previously. The new UV and white light sensor from KARL DEUTSCH replaces the functionality of both measuring gauges and expands the DEUTROMETER field strength meter by the possibility of simultaneous UV intensity and lux illuminance measurement. A minimum illuminance of 500 lx (in special cases 1000 lx) is usually required for standard-compliant test with the dye penetrant method or non-fluorescent magnetic particles. For the fluorescent method, limit values are specified for standard-compliant viewing conditions, both for the maximum permitted white light illuminance (≤ 20 lx) and for the minimum required UV-A intensity (≥ 10 W/m²). The DEUTROLIGHT sensor for combined UV and white light measurement is the optimal tool for the inspector. The sensor meets the requirements of protection class IP65, i.e. complete protection against contact, dust-tightness and protection against water jets (nozzle) from any angle. The use is very simple: Plug in the sensor, switch on and measure. The sensor is positioned onto the test piece. The DEUTROMETER then simultaneously displays the intensity of the UV irradiation and the white light illuminance. The result of the lux illuminance measurement is not influenced by the UV radiation, so that a measurement (as required by ISO 3059) is possible even when the UV lamp is switched on. The sensor is traceable to the PTB (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt, Braunschweig, a German federal authority). It comes calibrated, can be recalibrated and is supplied with a factory calibration certificate. Excellent long-term stability is achieved by using selected sensor materials.
