EXAIR has released the Model 9104 Digital Sound Level Meter, designed to measure and monitor the sound pressure level in a variety of industrial environments.
The Model 9104 Digital Sound Level Meter is designed to help keep noise emissions at a safe level. According to EXAIR, exposure to high noise levels for an extended period of time can lead to permanent hearing loss for workers who don’t wear proper hearing protection.
Any company that does not keep its noise levels below the limits shown in OSHA Standard 29 CFR — 1910.95(a) can face hefty fines.
EXAIR says technicians can use the Model 9104 Digital Sound Level Meter to identify the source of a dangerously loud noise so it can be corrected.
The Model 9104 Digital Sound Level Meter measures the decibels of the sound and displays the reading on a large LCD display. An ‘F/S’ response time button provides a choice of slow response measurements for comparatively stable noise measurement or fast for varying noise. The ‘Max Hold’ setting measures the maximum noise level of sounds and will update continuously if a louder sound is detected.
According to EXAIR, the Model 9104 Digital Sound Level Meter comes complete with a certification of accuracy and calibration traceable to the US National Institute of Standards and Technology.
