The UV Dose Calculator helps estimate the total energy delivered to a surface during exposure. By entering UV intensity and exposure time, you can calculate the dose in joules per square centimeter and better understand how your curing process performs. The advanced calculator adds a height or thickness input, allowing for a more accurate estimate when working with materials that absorb or block portions of UV light. This option is ideal for users who need to measure through varying depths or layers.
UV dose is the product of intensity and time. A higher dose can improve curing for some materials, but too much exposure can cause surface overheating or discoloration. Each chemistry has its own optimal dose range, and finding that balance ensures efficient curing without waste. Uvitron International designs and manufactures UV curing systems that provide stable, repeatable output for both small-scale and industrial production. Whether you need consistent exposure for coatings, adhesives, or resins, accurate dose calculation is the first step to reliable results.
Use the calculator above to estimate your UV dose, then explore Uvitron’s flood, spot, and LED systems to find equipment that meets your requirements. All systems are built and tested in Massachusetts to ensure long-term performance and precision.
