Xenon Lamp Aging Test Chamber

Product Applications：

The ZY-H301-K216S Xenon Arc Weathering Test Chamber is an environmental testing device that accelerates material aging by simulating the full solar spectrum to reproduce the damaging light waves found in various environments. The equipment is used for selecting new materials, modifying existing materials, or evaluating changes in durability following alterations to material composition. By exposing material specimens to the light and thermal radiation of a xenon arc lamp, it conducts aging tests to assess the lightfastness and weather resistance of certain materials under high-temperature light sources.

Inner Chamber Structure:

1、 The air-cooled xenon lamp features three 1800W tubes mounted at the top;
2、The lamp is installed directly above the inner chamber and is separated from it by a filter;
3、 The area above the inner chamber has a conical structure, similar to a lampshade, which helps ensure more uniform light distribution;
4、 A parallel sample holder is installed in the center of the inner chamber, and the sample mounting height is adjustable
5、 Adjustable in 50 mm increments to accommodate different sample sizes;
6、 An irradiance sensor is mounted in the center of the sample rack;
