ASTM G151 G155 Xenon Light Radiation Exposure Test Machine

The ASTM G151 G155 Xenon Light Radiation Exposure Test Machine is a full-spectrum solar aging simulator engineered to reproduce long-term outdoor environmental stress within a controlled laboratory cycle. Using a 4500W water-cooled xenon arc lamp, programmable irradiance from 35–150 W/m², black panel temperature 35–85℃, and moisture control from 50%–98% RH, it replicates the combined impacts of UV photolysis, infrared thermal expansion, condensation, hydrolysis, and temperature fatigue.

Unlike color-focused fading chambers, this machine emphasizes material stability, structural displacement, polymer chain degradation, surface embrittlement, impact performance decay, yellowing resistance, and long-term product reliability—making it suitable for R&D validation, comparative material selection, supplier qualification, and field durability prediction.


Standard Models: XL-S-750,XL-S-500 and more customized models

Compliance: ASTM G151 (general practices), ASTM G155 (xenon arc exposure), ISO 4892-2, IEC 60068-2-5, ISO 105 series, AATCC TM16, SAE J2020, and global durability certification standards.

Why Manufacturers Choose ASTM G151 G155 Xenon Light Radiation Exposure Test Machine

1️⃣ Full-Spectrum Solar Replication for Multiple Industries

The xenon radiation system reproduces global sunlight spectra critical for testing plastics, automotive dashboards, exterior coatings, photovoltaic components, and outdoor textiles that demand fade resistance and gloss retention validation.

2️⃣ Automated Closed-Loop Irradiance & BPT Accuracy

Equipped with a real-time UV radiometer (±5% tolerance) and black panel sensor (BPT control ±0.5°C), the machine prevents deviation in exposure results, ensuring repeatability for R&D and production approval.

3️⃣ Programmable Weather Cycles: Sunlight + Rain + Condensation

Customizable water spray cycles (1–9999h59m) simulate rain shock and surface erosion, while controlled condensation moisture recreates polymer hydrolysis, adhesion failure, and textile mold formation—testing scenarios not achievable by UV-only testers.

4️⃣ Optimized Lamp Life & Cooling System

Mechanical compression refrigeration paired with advanced heat extraction extends xenon lamp utilization beyond 1600 hours, reducing consumable cost without compromising radiation uniformity.

5️⃣ Touchscreen, Standard-Preset, Fully Customizable

Aligned with ASTM G151, ASTM G155, ISO 4892-2, AATCC TM16, and ISO 105-B02 shorten operation setup and maintain globally recognized test repeatability.
