ACCELERATING YOUR EXPERTISE XENON TEST MEASUREMENT & CALIBRATION

SUNTEST – THE WORLD’S MOST WIDELY USED FLATBED WEATHERING INSTRUMENTS Weathering is the adverse response of a material or product to climate, often causing unwanted and premature product failures. The main factors of weathering are sunlight, temperature and moisture. Sunlight initiates the degradation process and drives it forward, interacting with temperature and humidity to cause adverse effects. The objective of artificial weathering is to reproduce the degradation processes and resulting damage that occurs naturally in a laboratory under accelerated and reproducible conditions. Since 1976,...

SUNTEST – test chambers & sunlight simulation Superior chamber design to meet your testing needs Cross Section: XXL+ Test Chamber and Lighting System Accurate and Repeatable Test Results Curved Reflector An accelerated weathering instrument must combine a high quality chamber with fully developed light technology, precise sensors and intelligent control algorithms. A finely tuned calibration concept permits individual components to interact seamlessly with one another. As a result, you achieve high quality test conditions for repeateable test results. Quartz glass with lR reflecting layer Auxiliary...

xenon lamps & control Quality Lamps All Atlas xenon lamps have been specially designed for use in weathering devices. This ensures optimal spectral power distribution across the lamp’s entire 1500 hour service life. Our fully assembled “plug & play” light cassette makes replacing lamps and filters easy. Temperature Control Temperature plays an important role in the rate in which a material degrades. The most relevant temperature parameter with regard to weathering tests is the black standard temperature. All SUNTEST models measure and control the maximum surface temperature of a black sample...
