Product catalog summary
Overview: The Atlas UVCTest is an advanced instrument designed to test the durability of materials exposed to UVC radiation, particularly at 254nm, which is commonly used for sterilization purposes. This instrument is based on the UVTest platform with modifications for enhanced safety and reliability.
Key Features:
  • Simple touch screen operation with pre-programmed tests for ease of use.
  • Displays critical parameters on one screen and supports multiple languages.
  • Automatic restart after power interruptions and easy lamp replacement.
  • Advanced calibration technology and minimal maintenance requirements.
  • Data acquisition via Ethernet and accurate temperature measurement using Pt1000 RTD.
  • Consistent irradiance and temperature distribution with state-of-the-art sensor technology.
  • Safety features to prevent UVC light leaks and adjustable height casters for mobility.
  • Stackable frames for increased capacity and special backer boxes for small samples.
Applications: The UVCTest is suitable for testing materials used in various environments such as electronic devices, public transportation interiors, airplane cabins, automotive interiors, retail spaces, and hospital rooms.
Specifications:
  • Fluorescent UVC Lamps: 8 lamps, 40 W each, centered at 254nm.
  • Irradiance Uniformity: 4% across sample faces.
  • Irradiance Ratings: Minimum 6.0 mW/cm2, Maximum 16.0 mW/cm2 at 254nm.
  • Black Panel Temperature Range: 35-55 °C (95-131 °F).
  • Specimen Capacity: 48 specimens plus BPT in 24 holders.
  • Electrical Requirements: 120 VAC or 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Additional Information: Atlas provides A2LA accredited calibration services meeting ISO 17025 requirements, ensuring precise irradiance measurements. The WXView II software (coming soon) will offer remote monitoring and data acquisition capabilities.
Conclusion: The Atlas UVCTest is a robust solution for testing material durability against UVC radiation, offering comprehensive features and support for various applications, ensuring materials can withstand high-energy UVC germicidal radiation.

UVCTest Material Exposure Instrument-3

Basics of UV Radiation The UV range of the electromagnetic spectrum contains three types of UV. The UVA (between 315-400nm) and UVB (280-315nm) are the ranges of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth’s surface from sunlight. The recognized “cut-on” wavelength is 295nm. Atlas has historically offered light sources that closely match this radiation with either xenon-arc or fluorescent UV. Researchers develop additives and formulations to protect materials from natural sunlight. UVC radiation (200-280nm) does not reach the earth’s surface, but sterilization devices, using a light source centered...
