Xenon-Tester

Solar Radiation Simulation and Weathering Testing

The test device simulates natural weathering and provides reliable information on the weather resistance of all materials within a short time.

It is suitable for testing light and weather resistance of many materials and coatings.
Due to the double irradiance – 2 suns: up to 120 W/m² – compared to normal sun exposure on earth, UV weathering tests can be reduced to half the usual time.

Device Configuration:
•  3 air-cooled xenon lamps (à 2200 W)
•  4000 cm² sample area
•  tests with high irradiance up to 120 W/m2 (2 times the irradiance of the sun)
•  input and control of:
         –  irradiance (300 - 400 nm)
         –  black standard temperature
         –  sample chamber temperature
         –  relative humidity
•  Ageing-stable XENOCHROME filters to simulate daylight outdoors and/or behind window glass
•  XENOSENSIVE on the sample carousel 300 - 400 nm for measurement and control of irradiance (in W/m2) and BST (°C) at sample level
•  Selectable temperature control either by sample chamber temperature (max. 70 °C) or double control: sample chamber temperature and black standard temperature (up to 130 °C)
•  Ventilator -controlled temperature difference between sample chamber and black standard temperature
•  Ultrasonic humidification system for humidity control
