ASTM G155 Weathering Test Chamber

The ASTM G155 Xenon Lamp Aging Test Chamber, developed by LIBIndustry, is a professional-grade testing system for evaluating the long-term outdoor lifespan of non-metallic materials. By simulating solar radiation, extreme temperature and humidity, and rain cycles with high precision in the laboratory, this system can reduce the aging damage that would take years to develop outdoors to appear in just days or weeks.

 Xenon arc lamp simulates natural sunlight, with irradiation range of 35~150W/m². And through the filter system adjustment, xenon can simulate the solar spectrum in different regions. The temperature range: ambient to 100℃, the humidity range is 50%~98%RH.


Model: XL-S-750, XL-S-500

Standard: IEC 60068-2-5, IEC 60068-2-27,ASTM G26,ISO 105, ISO 4892, ISO 4892-2, ASTM G155, ASTM G151, ASTM G155,ISO 105-B02 (EN) (DIN), ISO 105-B04 (EN) (DIN).

ASTM G155 Test Chamber Features and Benefits

Full-spectrum simulation: 

Employs 1600 hrs long-life water-cooledxenon arc lamps, combined with a multi-layered filtering system (Daylight/Window Glass), accurately reproducing the full ultraviolet and visible spectrum from 300nm to 800nm.

Closed-loop irradiation control: 

Equipped with a high-sensitivity sensor, supporting automatic irradiation intensity compensation control at 340nm or 420nm, ensuring absolute stability during testing.

Precision temperature control system: 

Supports independent monitoring and adjustment of black plate temperature (BPT) and black mark temperature (BST), realistically simulating the actual temperature rise of materials under sunlight irradiation.

Configuration of ASTM G155 Test Chamber

Xenon Lamp & Filter System

Equipped with premium water-cooled xenon arc lamps that precisely replicate the full sunlight spectrum (300nm–800nm). Combined with interchangeable Daylight and Window Glass filters, it ensures your testing strictly adheres to ASTM G155 spectral power distribution (SPD) requirements.

 Irradiance & BPT Monitoring

Featuring high-sensitivity 340nm/420nm sensors and a Black Panel Thermometer (BPT/BST). The advanced closed-loop control system automatically compensates for lamp aging by adjusting power output in real-time.

Advanced Spray & Humidity Control

Nozzles simulates thermal shock and mechanical erosion caused by rain and dew. The internal chamber is constructed from SUS304 high-grade stainless steel to prevent corrosion and water contamination.

SmartTouch™ Control Interface

An intuitive 7-inch color touchscreen controller pre-programmed with ASTM G155, ISO 4892, and SAE J2527 standard protocols. It supports real-time data logging, multi-language switching, and graphical curve analysis.

 


FAQ – ASTM G155 Xenon Test Chamber

Q1: Does ASTM G155 require a rotary drum sample holder?

No. ASTM G155 defines exposure conditions, not sample holder structure. Both rotary drum and flat shelf systems are acceptable depending on application needs.

Q2: Which configuration is better for certification testing?

The rotary drum system (XL-S-750) is preferred for standard compliance and laboratory certification due to its higher exposure uniformity.

Q4: What is the difference between ASTM G155 and UV aging tests?

ASTM G155 uses xenon arc lamps to simulate full-spectrum sunlight, while UV tests (like ASTM G154) use fluorescent UV lamps focusing mainly on ultraviolet radiation.

Q5: Can the system simulate rain?

Yes, the ASTM G155 chamber includes a programmable spray system to simulate rain, dew, and thermal shock conditions.

Q6: What after-sales service do you provide?

We provide:

  • 3-year warranty on key components

  • Lifetime technical support

  • Fast response service within 12 hours

Our engineering team provides remote assistance, operation guidance, and spare parts support to ensure stable long-term operation of the equipment.
