Quality control of instruments for measuring the characteristics of bactericidal UV radiation by O. A. Minaeva, A. V. Ragutkin, S. I. Anevsky, R. V. Minaev, Th. T. Minh, I. A. Romanova

“…The study of angular dependence of bactericidal UV radiometer sensitivity complemented by an analysis of measurement results obtained by other authors allows determining the value of the angular sensitivity correction coefficients by the deviation of the angular sensitivity of the irradiance measuring instruments of bactericidal radiation from the standard cosine dependence.Conclusions. Deviations of the angular dependence of bactericidal radiation UV radiometer sensitivity from the cosine characteristic lead to a significant underestimation of the irradiance measurements results from extended emitters. …”
