UV Accelerated Weathering Tester
Overview：
UV light is responsible for almost all photodegradation of durable materials exposed outdoors. The UV tester’s fluorescent lamps simulate the critical short-wave UV region of the solar spectrum and realistically reproduce the physical property damage caused by sunlight. Types of damage include color change, gloss loss, chalking, cracking, crazing, hazing, blistering, embrittlement, strength loss, and oxidation.
Dew, not rain, is responsible for most of the wetness that occurs in outdoor exposure. The UV test chamber's condensation system realistically simulates dew and accelerates its effect using elevated temperature.
The condensation process automatically purifies the ordinary tap water used in the system. This is because the process of evaporating and condensing the water onto the specimens is actually a distillation process, which removes all impurities. See the UV Brochure for details.

Product Advantages：
Cost-Efficient Performance: Low operational and maintenance costs, paired with intuitive operation for seamless integration into any lab.
Advanced Automation: Programmable controller enables unattended test cycles with precise timing and automatic transitions between light, condensation, and dark phases.
Consistent & Repeatable Results: Stable UV output and tight temperature uniformity (±3℃) guarantee high repeatability across tests.
Versatile Simulation: Replicates harsh natural climates—UV radiation, humidity, condensation, and thermal cycling—to accelerate aging processes.
Customizable Testing: Optional UV-A340 (315–400nm) or UV-B313 (280–315nm) lamps cater to diverse material requirements.
Easy to Use：
The UV tester’s simple, proven design makes it easy to install, easy to use, and almost maintenance-free. The UV tester is completely automated and can operate continuously, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Other features include:
Supports customization services for multiple operating languages;
Built-in Ethernet connection for data logging
Comprehensive self-diagnostic warnings and service reminders
Quick and easy calibration with patented AUTOCAL system
Designed for safety in operation, calibration and maintenance
Product Features：
Multi-Factor Aging Simulation: Combines UV exposure, high-temperature aging, and condensation cycles to evaluate color fading, strength loss, cracking, oxidation, and adhesion failure.
Intelligent Cycle Control: Programmable light/condensation cycles (e.g., 4H/4H or 8H/8H) with a 0–9999h59min timer.
Real-Time Monitoring: Digital displays track temperature, humidity, and irradiation intensity during testing.
Compact Design: Optimized chamber layout ensures uniform UV distribution and efficient space utilization.
Wide Applicability: Ideal for geosynthetics, automotive coatings, plastics, textiles, and rubber products.

Our UV aging tester has the same performance as the QUV Accelerated weathering tester and is a perfect alternative to the QUV Accelerated weathering tester. We use the same power supply and lamps, the same spectral range, and the parameters and performance are exactly the same as the QUV Accelerated weathering tester.
Our UV weathering tester is also a perfect replacement for the Atlas UVTest® Fluorescent / UV Instrumentand meets all the testing standards of that model.
