Innovative Features of UV Light Torch


UV light torches are used for typically seeing things that are invisible to the normal eyes. From detecting rodents in warehouses to detecting forgery with currency notes, from identification of oil leakages to detecting gemstone and minerals, arson detection, inspection of crime scenes and artwork, there are multiple uses of UV lights.

These are some of innovative features of UV torch lights:
●  The wavelength of UV light is measured in nm or nanometers.
●  UV lights of only specific wavelengths can induce enough fluorescence – an aspect that is the most important feature that most applications of the UV torch light uses.
●  UV light that is around the range of 360 nm has the most forceful fluorescent glow.
●  The watts or power of the UV torch light will indicate the strength of the light.
● UV torch lights can be powered by AA or AAA battery cells. These torches are good for occasional use.
●   UV torch lights that need to run for a longer time should be rechargeable.    
●  The rechargeable torches use lithium ion batteries. There are also UV torch lights that can be recharged via USB ports.
●   18650 is the commonly used lithium ion battery.
●   There are two types of this battery – protected battery that is made of an integrated circuit or IC. The battery is protected because in case there is a higher flow of electric current, the IC cuts the supply thereby saving the cell from explosion. The unprotected cells on the other hand do not have this protective feature. Hence, they are more liable to explode with regular use.
●  There are two types of UV lights – the Ultraviolet-A lights and Ultraviolet-B lights. UV-B lights have shorter wavelengths and are more harmful. UV torch lights have UV-A lights with wavelengths above 365 nm, hence, are not harmful.
●   UV lights appear faint to the normal eye. However, it is advised that people do not look directly at the UV light.
●     Use safety goggles while using UV flashlight so that the light does not fall directly      into your eyes.

How does ultrasonic testing help?

  Do you have any idea about any testing we can perform without object destruction? There is one such technique called non-destructive testing method which we can use. It is ultrasonic testing which is the best to detect flaws and defects without damaging the object. This test is one of the best to check for any corrosion or defects.  You can avoid part failure or destruction of the entire asset by using it periodically. As a result, you can find its application in the various industries. What is Ultrasonic testing? Ultrasonic testing is a non-destructive testing method that uses sound waves to detect thickness, cracks and defects in components and materials. For example, this method is effective for determining the pipe thickness and wall thickness. What is the working principle of Ultrasonic testing? Ultrasonic testing uses a   piezoelectric transducer that transmit and receive ultrasonic waves. It is the basic form of a pulse-receiver and oscilloscope display. The tr...

Use of Ultrasonic Testing in the Power Generation Industry

Ultrasonic testing is a method used for determining the thickness of a structure with the help of sound waves. These sound waves are of high frequency, and this method is a reliable non-destructive method used in the power generation industry. There is no need to cut the test piece or use any chemical that might deteriorate it. The sound waves travel through the surface of even sturdy metals and help determine the thickness.   How does Ultrasonic Testing work? High-frequency sound waves that are way beyond the limit of the human ear get induced in this non-destructive testing technique. The test is performed under the supervision of an expert only. They can do the setup with proper requirement standards. Devices are used to induce the sound waves into the material in question. These sound waves can penetrate through any surface except for paper or wooden products. After passing through the surface, the sound wave is reflected when hitting the boundary and is returned to th...

Ultrasonic Testing - Applications and Advantages of Ultrasonic NDT in Industry

Ultrasonic testing is a non-destructive testing method that is used commonly for -        Detecting cracks, defects and faults in a test piece; -        Measuring the dimensions of a test piece; -        Understanding the nature or character of a material; How is the test carried out? The testing unit or system consists of a receiver, transducer, and a display unit. The receiver or pulse is the unit that produces electrical pulses. The transducer then produces ultrasonic energy in high frequency. This sound energy or wave passes through the test piece. If the material has no-fault, it will behave as a standard piece – however, when there is a crack, fault, or break in between, the wave is intercepted by this fault line from where the wave reflects. This reflected wave or echo is then converted by the transducer into an electrical signal. This electrical signal gets displayed on the s...
