What is the xenon lamp test chamber used for



In daily life, we often encounter leather paint fading or fading, leather cracking, peeling, fracture performance decline, mainly because sunlight leads to material degradation and aging, different materials have different responses to the spectrum. In general, short-wave ultraviolet radiation is an important factor leading to the aging of durable materials; Uva and even short-wave visible light are the main reasons for the degradation of non-durable materials. So what's a quick way to simulate a test? At this time, we have to mention the xenon lamp test chamber.

Xenon lamp test chamber is a specially designed test equipment that uses xenon arc lamps to simulate the full spectrum of sunlight and reproduce the destructive spectral waves that exist in different environments. Providing the appropriate simulation environment and accelerated testing for scientific research, product development and quality control, xenon lamp aging test chambers can be used for the selection of new materials, the improvement of existing materials, or tests to evaluate the durability of material composition changes. It can simulate different environmental conditions to see how materials change under sunlight

Principle of xenon lamp aging test chamber

Xenon lamp aging test chamber is the use of xenon lamp to simulate the effect of sunlight exposure and condensation moisture to simulate rain, dew to form a virtual environment, we put the sample into the test chamber, through the cycle of alternating light and moisture testing, this process can detect the sample in the sun, rain and dew three environmental factors will produce what harm, Artificial accelerated aging testing can help select new materials and retrofit existing materials.

Application

1. Materials science: Xenon lamp test chambers are used to evaluate the durability and stability of materials under sunlight exposure, such as plastics, coatings, rubber, textiles, etc. It can help manufacturers choose the right material and improve the quality and life of the product.

2. Automotive industry: Xenon lamp test chambers are widely used in automotive manufacturing and parts industry. It simulates the conditions of use of the vehicle under sunlight, assessing the weatherability and durability of the exterior materials and interior.

3. Electronics and photoelectric industry: Xenon lamp test box can be used to test the stability and reliability of electronic and photoelectric products under ultraviolet irradiation, such as display screens, solar panels, optical devices, etc.

Common Standard
ASTM G155: This is a standard developed by the American Society for Materials and Testing (ASTM) to evaluate the weatherability and stability of materials, including solar exposure and ultraviolet radiation testing.
ISO 4892: This is a series of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to assess the stability and durability of plastics, coatings and other organic materials under conditions of light, thermal radiation and heat and humidity.
SAE J1960: This is a standard developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to evaluate the weatherability and color stability of automotive materials and components under exposure to sunlight.
