Xenon Arc Weatherometer

Introduction

The xenon arc lamp, which is capable of simulating the whole natural sunlight spectrum in the most consistent manner, can reproduce the destructive light waves in different environments, so that the material can be subjected to light fastness and weather ability acceleration test. It can be used for screening new materials, improved existing materials or assessment of changes in material composition after the change in durability and other tests. The Xenon Arc Long-Life Weather Meter is designed to test a wide range of materials in the fields, such as: paint ink paint, resin, plastic, printing and packaging, adhesives and so on.

Application

The Xenon Arc Weatherometer is widely used for testing the weather resistance of materials, including but not limited to the following fields:

Coatings and Printing: Used to evaluate the weather resistance and photofastness of coatings and printing materials.

Plastics and Packaging: Used to evaluate the weather resistance and durability of plastics and packaging materials.

Automotive and Railroad Industry: Used to evaluate the weather resistance of automotive and railroad equipment.

Cosmetics: Used to evaluate the weather resistance of cosmetic ingredients.

Electronics and Electroplating: Used to evaluate the weather resistance of electronic and electroplating materials.

Medical: Used to evaluate the weather resistance of medical devices and materials.

Test Procedures

The operating procedures for a xenon arc weather instrument include disassembling the lamp/filter assembly, replacing the lamp holder, inserting a new lamp and reassembling it, replacing the lamp/filter assembly into the weather instrument, and reconnecting the weather instrument to power. The specific steps are as follows: Disconnect the power to the testing instrument.

Remove the lamp/filter assembly from the weather instrument according to the instructions in the weather instrument's user manual.

Remove the lamp.

Replace the lamp holder.

Insert a new lamp and reassemble the lamp assembly.

Replace the lamp/filter assembly into the weather instrument.

Reconnect the power to the weather instrument.
