Spectroline Es-160/FBE UV Lamp

• Used for non-destructive testing (NDT) to identify surface cracks and defects in materials.
• Applied in leak detection systems, often with fluorescent dyes, to pinpoint fluid escape points.
• Utilised in forensic science for examining evidence that fluoresces under UV light.
• Employed in quality control for inspecting coatings, adhesives, and other materials for uniformity or presence of specific markers.
• Valuable in laboratory settings for fluorescence analysis and sterilisation purposes.

UV Wavelength

Typically operates in the longwave (UVA) spectrum, commonly around 365 nm, suitable for most fluorescent applications.

Power Supply

Units of this type commonly require a standard mains power supply, typically 230V AC for the UK market.

Lamp Type

Often uses a high-intensity UV discharge lamp, providing consistent and powerful illumination.

Housing Material

The housing is typically constructed from durable, impact-resistant plastic or metal, designed for laboratory and industrial environments.

Cooling

Many professional-grade UV lamps include an integrated fan or passive cooling system to maintain optimal operating temperature.

Footprint

For this class of portable UV lamp, the footprint is generally compact, designed for handheld use or benchtop placement.

• What is the primary difference between UVA, UVB, and UVC lamps?

  UVA lamps (longwave) are primarily used for fluorescence and inspection, UVB (medium wave) for curing and some medical applications, and UVC (shortwave) for sterilisation and germicidal purposes. This unit is typically UVA.

• Is special eye protection required when operating this UV lamp?

• How often do the UV bulbs typically need replacing?

• Can this unit be used for sterilisation?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of UV lamp?

Quantitative detection systems are regarded as essential tools in analytical laboratories, valued for their precision and reliability in measurement applications. When purchasing used equipment, buyers typically prioritize thorough calibration records, maintenance history, and overall physical condition. Industry practice emphasizes verifying that original documentation and software licences accompany the instrument. These systems demonstrate strong longevity when properly maintained, making used purchases viable for cost-conscious operations. Key considerations include detector sensitivity specifications, electronic component functionality, and compatibility with existing laboratory infrastructure.
