Sound Level Meters
Sound level meters, also known as decibel meters, are handheld devices that show the sound pressure level in the environment in decibels (dB). They are used for preliminary noise measurements in workshops and production areas, for monitoring machine and device noise, and for documenting the sound level in spaces. The category includes the Unit UT353 mini decibel meter, the Bluetooth-connected UT353BT, and the UT352 with an analog bar graph and upper and lower limit alarms; the product data states fast and slow measurement rates and a windscreen as standard accessory. Compare the measuring range and accuracy, the frequency weighting (A or C), fast and slow time weighting, limit alarm and MAX/MIN functions, and the need for data transfer. Outdoors and in places with air movement, a windscreen fitted to the microphone protects the reading from wind noise. A decibel meter shows the instantaneous sound level; it does not replace a noise dosimeter that accumulates the noise a person is exposed to over a shift.

How to choose Sound Level Meters
Sound level meters, also known as decibel meters, are handheld devices that show the sound pressure level in the environment in decibels (dB). They are used for preliminary noise measurements in workshops and production areas, for monitoring machine and device noise, and for documenting the sound level in spaces.
- Identify the measurement or fastening task and the required insulation safety rating.
- Select jaw profile, cross-section range and accessories for the conductor or fastener standard.
- Check CAT voltage category and replacement tip or die availability for field conditions.
