The Professional Standard for Certified Sound Level Monitoring and Verification
The REED Instruments R8080-KIT-NIST is an all-in-one diagnostic package designed for environmental consultants and safety officers who require high-accuracy data logging and field verification.
This kit centers on the R8080 Type 2 Sound Level Meter, featuring an internal data logger capable of storing thousands of readings. To ensure your data stands up to the most rigorous safety audits, this kit includes the R8090 Sound Level Calibrator and a Traceable Calibration Certificate, providing the documented accuracy required for OSHA, ANSI, and IEC compliance.
Key Technical Advantages
Triple-Range Precision: Measure sound levels across three ranges from 30 to 130dB with a high accuracy of ±1.4dB, meeting ANSI and IEC Type 2 standards.
Integrated Data Logging: Record up to 32,000 data points internally. Use the included USB cable and software to download, graph, and analyze noise trends on your PC.
Field-Ready Verification: The included R8090 calibrator allows you to perform "pre-and-post" test calibrations, a critical requirement for legally defensible noise surveys.
Dynamic Measurement Options:Features Fast/Slow time weighting and A/C frequency weighting to match specific industrial or environmental testing protocols.
Ideal Applications for the REED R8080-KIT-NIST
Occupational Noise Surveys:Conduct 2026-standard OSHA and CCOHS workplace noise assessments with certified accuracy.
Environmental Noise Monitoring: Log long-term sound levels at construction sites, concert venues, or industrial boundaries for code enforcement.
HVAC & Mechanical Audits:Identify and document excessive noise from industrial fans, chillers, and large-scale machinery.
Product Safety Testing:Verify that consumer or industrial products meet maximum decibel output requirements.
Legal & Insurance Documentation: Use the NIST-traceable data logs to provide defensible evidence in noise-related litigation or worker's comp claims.
