Key Advantages And Features of Sunshine Irradiance 0.51 W/m² Xenon Arc Test Apparatus
1. Narrow-Band UV Control at 0.51 W/m² @ 340 nm
A high-precision 340 nm UV radiometer measures irradiance directly at specimen level. Closed-loop regulation automatically compensates for lamp aging and optical loss, maintaining ±0.5% irradiance stability during long-term testing.
2. Full-Spectrum Sunshine Simulation
In addition to narrow-band control, the xenon system delivers UV–VIS–IR full-spectrum radiation, with a total irradiance capability of 35–150 W/m², accurately reproducing natural sunlight aging mechanisms.
3. Integrated Photothermal & Moisture Stress
Material degradation is driven by the combined action of light, heat, and moisture. The apparatus provides:
Chamber temperature: Ambient ~ 100 °C
Black Panel Temperature (BPT): 35 ~ 85 °C
Humidity range: 50 ~ 98% RH
Programmable spray and condensation cycles
These parameters operate in coordination with irradiance control to reproduce realistic outdoor weathering mechanisms.
4. Uniform Exposure & High Repeatability
A rotating specimen holder ensures 360° uniform exposure to irradiance, temperature, and moisture. Independent air circulation and optimized airflow design minimize spatial deviation, delivering highly repeatable results across samples, batches, and test cycles.
5. Long-Term Efficiency & Operational Reliability
The water-cooled xenon lamp architecture provides superior thermal stability, extended lamp life (≈1600 h), and reduced power fluctuation during continuous operation. Standardized components and automatic monitoring reduce maintenance frequency and total cost of ownership.

Discover More About Sunshine Irradiance 0.51 W/m² Xenon Arc Test Apparatus
Q1: Why is 0.51 W/m² @ 340 nm specified instead of lamp power?
Because material aging depends on actual sunshine irradiance at the specimen surface, not lamp wattage.
LIB industry controls 0.51 W/m² @ 340 nm via closed-loop radiometer feedback for accurate, comparable results.
Q2: Can narrow-band and full-spectrum sunshine irradiance be tested on one system?
Yes. The Xenon Arc Test Apparatus by LIB industry supports 340 nm narrow-band control and full-spectrum UV–VIS–IR sunshine simulation on the same platform.
Q3: How is long-term irradiance repeatability ensured?
Through real-time radiometer feedback, water-cooled xenon arc stability, and automatic irradiance compensation, LIB industry maintains consistent sunshine irradiance throughout long test cycles.
