DESCRIPTION:
Remember the "U/V" sign when selecting your U/V lamp.
Ultraviolet (U/V) tracers are specifically formulated to fluoresce in the presence of U/V light rays. From this
are the common trade names for the two main products that use this technology: "U/V" and "U/V" lamps.
Referring to the table above, you can see that true "U/V" is invisible to the human eye, while visible light colors
next come purple and blue respectively. The overall U/V light intensity decreases as you move
from invisible U/V light to purple, then to blue and so on. far along the table. Care must be taken not to confuse a lamp that emits
a high intensity visible blue light, and consider it better, with a brighter lamp. effectively tuned to emit true U/V light.
Here's why BLUE isn't necessarily okay
A properly tuned ultraviolet (U/V) lamp should emit primarily invisible U/V light waves, with only a small amount of visible light at the "purple" or "blue" end of the spectrum.
"purple" or "blue" visible. The small amount of visible light is necessary to direct the user's gaze towards
the leak search area, while the invisible U/V light beams concretely illuminate the tracer leak. Lamps that
emit large quantities of visible blue light have been widely marketed as more efficient products. powerful and effective for
making leaks fluorescent, based on an obviously higher perception of visible light. Be aware that U/V tracers
requiring real invisible U/V light rays to actually fluoresce immediately contradicts this belief.
In fact, special "anti-blue" glasses must be used with these high-output blue lamps. to eliminate tonal noise. from
blue light from the user's vision during the leak detection process. Otherwise, the high light flux will cover the surface. the loss
or the tracer that fluoresces.
