Weatherability Xenon Arc Test Instrument

Precise Solar Simulation for Accelerated Material Aging

Engineered for predictive material testing, this weatherability xenon arc test instrument exposes samples to controlled full-spectrum sunlight using a 4500 W water-cooled xenon lamp. Irradiance spans 35–150 W/m² with ±0.5 % precision, and wavelength sensors at 340 nm or 420 nm monitor UV intensity. Workroom conditions reach ambient–100 °C and 50–98 % RH, with black panel temperature of 35–85 °C. Rotating or stationary holders (1 r/min) ensure even coverage, while programmable wet–dry cycles, high-accuracy radiometers, and automated data logging allow repeatable testing of polymers, coatings, automotive panels, and construction materials for color stability, gloss retention, and mechanical durability.


Standard Models: XL-S-750, XL-S-500 (more custom dimensions available)
Standards Compliance: ASTM G151, ASTM G155, ISO 4892-2, ISO 105-B02/B04, AATCC TM16, IEC 60068-2-5, SAE J2020

Expert Tips – Weatherability Xenon Arc Test Instrument

Q1: What is the minimum temperature achievable in the xenon arc test equipment?
The xenon arc test equipment can reach -70 °C. This is made possible with high-thermal-resistance xenon lamps, enhanced refrigeration, and specialized black panels and radiometers—ensuring accurate, repeatable results under extreme conditions.

Q2: What is the maximum rotation speed of the xenon turntable?
The rotating holder operates at up to 7 r/min, guaranteeing uniform exposure and consistent, reliable test results for all samples.

Q3: What is the difference between BPT and BST?

BPT (Black Panel Temperature): Measures metallic samples with a black-painted metal plate.

BST (Black Standard Temperature): Measures non-metallic surfaces with a black-painted insulated plastic plate.

Difference: Varies by material; LIB industry can customize calibration for precise, traceable measurements.
