About Uv Light Accelerated Weathering Tester
Uv Light Accelerated Weathering Tester
Caltech India offers UV Light Accelerated Weathering Tester. Many polymer materials are often be damage by natural environmental factors which from Earths surface and atmosphere when used outdoor. This affects their useful life. In order to properly assess their useful life in the out doors, using the environmental testing equipment to simulation of each kinds of natural climatic conditions , study weather resistance of each kinds of products in the laboratory has become a widely and effective method.
Advanced Testing CapabilitiesThis weathering tester offers UV, condensation, and spray test cycles that are fully programmable, ensuring simulation of real-world environmental conditions. With precise control over temperature (3570C) and humidity (4598%RH), as well as a spray flow rate of 0.8 L/min, users can replicate long-term weathering effects in much shorter periods.
User-Friendly Design and SafetyEquipped with a digital LCD display and PID programmable controller, the tester provides straightforward operation and clear data visualization. Safety features include automatic shutdown, leakage protection, and over-temperature protection, making it reliable for continuous use in laboratories and industrial settings.
Compliance and VersatilityMeeting global standards such as ISO 4892 and ASTM G154, this equipment ensures credible testing procedures. Its adjustable, multi-position sample holder accommodates various specimen types, supporting applications for manufacturers, importers, exporters, and service providers in India.
FAQs of Uv Light Accelerated Weathering Tester:
Q: How does the UV Light Accelerated Weathering Tester simulate outdoor conditions?
A: The tester uses eight UVA/UVB lamps, programmable UV exposure, condensation, and spray cycles to replicate the impact of sunlight, moisture, and rain on materials. This accelerates the aging process, giving reliable results in laboratory environments.
Q: What is the recommended installation environment for this equipment?
A: The weathering tester should be installed indoors in a well-ventilated area to ensure optimal performance and safety. It operates on AC 220V 50Hz power supply and features an air cooling system.
Q: When should maintenance or lamp replacement be considered?
A: UV lamps generally last between 1,500 and 5,000 hours, depending on usage. It is recommended to routinely inspect lamp performance and replace them when output diminishes or after the maximum rated life for consistent results.
Q: Where can the results from this tester be applied?
A: Data collected from this instrument are useful for evaluating the durability and performance of polymers, coatings, paints, plastics, and rubber in industries such as automotive, construction, and packaging, enabling material improvement and product development.
Q: What is the process for testing samples with this equipment?
A: Samples must be mounted on the adjustable multi-position holder. Users can program the desired test cycle (UV, condensation, spray), set temperature and humidity parameters, and monitor the process through the digital LCD display. The system safely operates until the cycle is complete with automatic shutdown and safety protections.
Q: What are the main benefits of using this weathering tester?
A: Key advantages include accelerated evaluation of long-term material durability, precise environmental control, compliance with international standards, and robust safety mechanisms, which ultimately streamline product development and quality control efforts for manufacturers and traders.
