Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a technical description of the UV-BOX 636, a device used for accelerated UV testing to simulate the effects of sunlight, rain, and dew on materials. This testing equipment is designed to reproduce damage that would occur over months or years of outdoor exposure in a much shorter time frame.
Specifications: The UV-BOX 636 uses UV fluorescent lamps to simulate sunlight and employs moisture condensation and water spray to mimic dew and rain. It features a compact design, high connectivity, and customizable sample holders. The device meets various international and industry specifications, ensuring reliable and reproducible test results.
Technical Description: The UV-BOX subjects materials to alternating cycles of UV radiation and humidity at controlled high temperatures. It can simulate various types of damage such as color change, loss of gloss, chalking, cracking, and oxidation. The condensation system purifies water through a distillation process, enhancing the simulation of dew.
UV Lamps: The UV-BOX uses UVA-340 and UVB-313 lamps. UVA-340 lamps simulate sunlight in the critical wavelength region, while UVB-313 lamps provide more aggressive UV short waves for accelerated testing.
Technical Data: The UV-BOX 636 requires a mains voltage of 230 Vac and has a current consumption of 10 A. It measures 1300 x 700 x 1500 mm and weighs 120 kg. The device can hold up to 48 standard samples and features a touch screen control panel, microprocessor control, and Ethernet connectivity.
Standards: The UV-BOX complies with numerous standards, including ASTM, ISO, EN, SAE, and AATCC, ensuring its applicability across various testing requirements.
Order Information: The product order number is 06360151, and it includes a basic specimen holder but does not come with UV lamps.

Technical Description UV-BOX 636-2

The accelerated UV aging test reproduces the damage caused by sunlight, rain and dew. In a few days or weeks of exposure of the samples inside the UV BOX 636, damages occurring in months or years of outdoor exposure can be reproduced. To simulate aging due to external atmospheric agents, UV BOX subjects the materials to alternating cycles of UV radiation and humidity at controlled high temperatures. The instrument simulates the effects of sunlight through the use of special UV fluorescent lamps and the simulation of the effect of dew and rain occurs through condensation or a spray of water (Spray...

Technical Description UV-BOX 636-3

UV lamps UV fluorescent lamps are more stable than other types of lamps, including xenon arc lamps. The spectral distribution (SPD) is not changed with the aging of the lamp, even after thousands of hours of operation, and this feature involves in more reproducible results, less frequent lamp replacements and a reduction in operating costs. Lamps UVA-340: UVA-340 lamps offer the best simulation of sunlight in the critical wavelength region from 365 nm up to the solar cut-off value of 295 nm. Lamps UVB-313: UVB-313 lamps maximize acceleration through the use of the most aggressive UV short waves...
