When it comes to manufacturing, there are plenty of hazards that companies and employees face on a daily basis. Of those hazards, one that may be overlooked is the danger associated with high decibel machinery and instrumentation. The Digital Sound Level Meter by EXAIR is an easy-to-use instrument that can measure and monitor the sound pressure level in a wide variety of industrial environments.

Sound levels are most commonly measured in decibels (dB), which range from barely audible to loud enough to cause physical pain. The risk of hearing loss starts at around 70 dB. Exposure to sounds at 85-decibel level and above has the potential to damage hearing. A normal conversation registers at around 60 decibels. That’s where The Digital Sounds Level Meter comes in handy. Prolonged exposures to everyday items such as a hairdryer, vacuum cleaner, or even a blender can cause hearing damage. Now imagine the dangers of the machinery and equipment used in industrial manufacturing.

Accurate and responsive, The Digital Sound Level Meter from EXAIR measures the decibels of the sound and displays the reading on the large LCD screen. The Liquid Crystal Display has a backlight button for easy viewing. Another helpful feature of the Digital Sound Level Meter is the F/S response time button. This button gives you the choice between slow response measurements for comparatively stable noise measurement, or fast for varying noise. The “Max Hold” setting gives you the freedom to set your desired decibel level, and will notify you if that level is exceeded. The Digital Sound Level Meter carries a certificate from the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) for initial calibration to guarantee precision and accuracy.
