UV Accelerated Weathering Chamber

Accelerate UV aging tests to predict outdoor durability in weeks instead of years

LIB industry UV accelerated weathering chamber simulates the destructive effects of ultraviolet radiation, rain, dew, temperature, and humidity on materials and products in natural environments, enabling accelerated evaluation of material weathering resistance.

By reproducing long-term outdoor aging processes under controlled laboratory conditions, this system helps manufacturers shorten testing cycles, reduce uncertainty from natural exposure, and make reliable durability decisions before product launch or mass production.

UVA (315–400 nm) and UVB (280–315 nm) ultraviolet lamps are used to simulate different ultraviolet energy levels responsible for material aging. UVA lamps reproduce the main UV spectrum of sunlight, while UVB lamps accelerate high-energy degradation, allowing users to select appropriate test conditions based on material type and applicable standards.

 

Model: UV-SI-260 and more customized models available.

Compliant Standards :ASTM G154, ISO 4892 / ISO 4892-1

Referenced Material Standards :ASTM D4329, SAE J2020, GM 9125P,Selected ASTM C & D material standards upon request

UV Accelerated Weathering Chamber  Features and Benefits

1. Accelerated aging in a short time

Simulates material degradation caused by UV radiation, temperature, and humidity in a relatively short period, allowing users to replace long-term outdoor exposure with efficient laboratory testing and significantly shorten product validation cycles.

2. High correlation with real outdoor environments

Accurately simulates ultraviolet radiation, rain, dew, and moisture effects commonly encountered outdoors, ensuring that test results are closer to real service conditions.

3. Professional UV lamp system

Equipped with UVA-340 and UVB-313 lamps,  UVA-340 lamps simulate more powerful short-wave ultraviolet light, UVB-313 lamps have higher energy, and the sample can receive ultraviolet radiation evenly.

4. Durable and corrosion-resistant chamber structure

The inner chamber is made of SUS304 stainless steel, offering excellent corrosion and high-temperature resistance. The exterior uses coated steel plate to enhance structural strength and long-term operational stability.

 Black panel

Simulate the thermal radiation of the material in the actual use environment.UV_Accelerated_Weathering_Chamber8.jpg

 Water spray system

Including water tank, water pump, nozzle, water pipe. The tank is used to store water, and the nozzle sprays the water evenly over the test sample, simulating the action of rain or dew.UV_Accelerated_Weathering_Chamber11.jpg

 Lighting system

UVA-340 lamps and UVB-313 lamps, etc., are divided into two rows, each row of 4 lamps, and maintain a certain distance between the lamps to ensure the uniformity of ultraviolet radiation.UV_Accelerated_Weathering_Chamber12.jpg

 Heating system

The heating method is the inner tank type heating, the heating speed is fast, and the temperature distribution can be more uniform.UV_Accelerated_Weathering_Chamber13.jpg
