Key Features of Fluorescent UV Lamp Aging Exposure Test Equipment
Fluorescent UV Lamp System
8 × 40W fluorescent UV lamps in bilateral distribution; UVA-340 (295–400 nm, best solar match) or UVB-313 (high-intensity, rapid QC) selectable according to application.
Programmable UV Aging Cycles
Irradiance programmable across 0.1–1.0 W/m²/nm at 340 nm with closed-loop automatic calibration, compensating for lamp aging to keep long test cycles repeatable.
Stable Temperature Control
Chamber temperature range ambient to 90°C, controlled to ±0.5°C fluctuation for consistent specimen exposure conditions.
UV and Condensation Testing
Built-in condensation system reaches ≥ 95% R.H. during the moisture cycle, with an optional water-spray stage to reproduce rain and thermal-shock stress.
Uniform Specimen Exposure
Standard racks hold up to 52 specimens (75×150 mm) per run, positioned for even UV exposure across the mounting area. Customized holders are available for irregular parts.
Touchscreen Programmable Controller
Color LCD touchscreen with multilingual UI; USB and Ethernet data logging let operators program, monitor, and export UV/temperature/condensation cycle data in real time.
Safety Protection
Multi-level protection — over-temperature cutoff, low-water level alarm, circuit breaker, and overload/leakage protection — rated for unattended 24/7 operation.

Choose fluorescent UV aging equipment when your primary objective is to accelerate and evaluate UV-induced material degradation.
For applications requiring broader solar-spectrum simulation, a xenon arc weathering chamber may be more appropriate.
FAQs on Fluorescent UV Lamp Aging Exposure Test Equipment
What warranty and after-sales support does LIB Industry provide?
Every chamber comes with a 3-year warranty and lifetime technical support. LIB Industry backs this with four service points worldwide and a network of 29 agents/distributors across different regions, so customers can get local response, spare parts, and technical assistance without long waits.
What is the difference between UVA and UVB lamps?
UVA and UVB lamps provide different ultraviolet spectral characteristics and are selected according to the material, degradation mechanism, and applicable test standard.
How long does a fluorescent UV aging test take?
The required exposure time depends on the material, test standard, exposure cycle, and evaluation criteria. Accelerated testing is generally used to compare degradation behavior over controlled exposure periods rather than directly converting test hours into an exact outdoor service life.
What is the difference between fluorescent UV and xenon arc testing?
Fluorescent UV testing focuses primarily on ultraviolet-induced degradation using fluorescent UV lamps. Xenon arc testing provides a broader solar-spectrum simulation and is often selected when closer simulation of natural sunlight is required.You may also be interested in xenon arc chamber.
Can the UV aging chamber be customized?
Yes. LIB Industry can customize chamber dimensions, lamp configuration, specimen fixtures, temperature conditions, control functions, and test cycles according to the customer's application and testing requirements.
