Xenon Arc Test Chamber – Accelerated Weathering Simulator for Realistic Sunlight Aging

Replicate Full-Spectrum Sunlight, Rain, and Humidity to Predict Material Degradation
Our Xenon Arc Test Chamber delivers the most accurate simulation of natural sunlight, combining UV, visible, and IR radiation to test material weatherability. Compliant with ASTM G155, ISO 4892-2, and SAE J2412, this chamber is essential for automotive, coatings, plastics, and textile industries to ensure product longevity.

Core Technologies & Innovations

☀️ True Solar Spectrum Simulation

Xenon Lamps: 6,500W water-cooled lamps (1,500–2,500 hours lifespan) with automatic irradiance control.
Spectral Filters: Daylight (Q/B), Window Glass (Q/SA), or UV-Cut filters to match global sunlight conditions.
Irradiance Range: 0.35–1.50 W/m² @ 340 nm (±5% stability).

🌧️ Dynamic Environmental Control

Temperature Range: +25°C to +100°C (black panel/air temperature modes).
Humidity Range: 10%–95% RH (±3% accuracy).
Spray Cycle: Simulate rainfall or dew with purified water spray (ASTM G26).

💻 Intelligent Operation

10-inch touchscreen with preset SAE, ISO, and AATCC test profiles.
Real-time spectral monitoring, data logging, and predictive aging reports.
Remote access via Ethernet/Modbus TCP for 24/7 lab integration.

🔧 Durable & User-Centric Design

Chamber Material: Stainless steel 316L with corrosion-resistant coating.
Sample Racks: Adjustable holders for 3D parts, fabrics, or flat panels (max 1000x800mm).
Self-Calibration: Automatic lamp intensity adjustment and filter cleaning cycle.

Applications

✅ Automotive: Test exterior paints, dashboards, and rubber seals for UV fading and cracking.
✅ Coatings & Plastics: Evaluate color stability, gloss retention, and chalking (ASTM D4459).
✅ Textiles & Apparel: Validate UV resistance of outdoor fabrics and sportswear (AATCC TM16).
✅ Packaging: Assess degradation of labels, adhesives, and biodegradable materials.
✅ Construction: Simulate decades of weathering on roofing, window films, and sealants.

FAQ

Q: Xenon vs. UV chambers – which is better for my product?
A: Xenon chambers replicate full sunlight (UV + visible + IR), ideal for color-sensitive materials. UV chambers focus on ultraviolet degradation only.

Q: How often should xenon lamps be replaced?
A: Every 1,500–2,500 hours, depending on irradiance settings. The system alerts users proactively.

Q: Can I test liquids or powders?
A: Yes! Use our sealed sample containers or custom trays (inquire for options).

Q: Is humidity control necessary for all tests?
A: Optional but critical for materials like textiles or wood. Dry modes suit coatings/plastics.
