Sun Simulation Accelerated Aging Chamber Sunlight Radiation Accelerated Weather Testing

Sun Simulation Accelerated Aging Chamber Sunlight Radiation Accelerated Weather Testing

The simulation of natural sunlight is achieved by using several different methods based on the area of the spectrum it is required to test, in order to check the damage caused by the differing solar radiations. The main applications are the accelerated aging of the equipment under the effects of the radiation combined with other environmental phenomena such as temperature, humidity, rain, corrosion and so on. Several kinds of lamps can be used:

• Metal halide lamps able to cover the whole spectrum of the sun’s radiation

• Ultraviolet lamps to test the equipment against damage due to UV rays

Application

It is widely used in paint, resins, plastics, printing and packaging, aluminum, adhesives, auto, cosmetics, metals, electronics, electroplating, medicine, etc.
