UV radiation measurement devices

UV radiation measurement devices, called UV meters or UV sensors, quantify the amount of ultraviolet light reaching a surface or atmosphere. They typically use a sensor that detects UV photons and converts this information into a numerical value, often expressed as UV Index or in units like milliwatts per square meter. These devices are used in sunscreen testing, air quality monitoring, and weather forecasting to assess UV exposure risks. Accurate measurements help individuals and organizations take precautions against harmful UV rays, which can cause skin damage and other health issues.
