The S80 Carbon Arc Weathering Tester is a specialized environmental simulation instrument designed to evaluate the lightfastness and weather resistance of materials using a sunlight-type carbon arc lamp. By utilizing a configuration of eight carbon arc rods (four pairs) across the top and bottom of the chamber, the system provides up to 78 hours of continuous, high-intensity illumination. This tester allows you to replicate the destructive effects of solar radiation and moisture, offering automated cycles of light exposure and water spray to accelerate the aging process of non-metallic materials, coatings, and automotive components.
Applications
The SUGA S80 Carbon Arc Weathering Tester utilizes eight sunlight carbon arc lamps capable of providing approximately 78 hours of continuous illumination. These lamps are arranged in four sets positioned at the top and bottom of the test chamber. The system automatically performs both illumination and illumination combined with spray application.

Features
Extended Testing Capability: The ultra-long-life carbon rods allow for 78 hours of uninterrupted testing, significantly reducing the downtime required for rod replacement compared to standard systems.
Simultaneous Exposure: The unique top-and-bottom arc configuration ensures uniform distribution of radiant energy across all 70 sample positions.
Automated Weathering: You can program complex sequences of light and rain (front spray) to simulate specific regional climates or seasonal changes.
Flexible Configurations: The system is available in specialized versions, including the SL80 for low-temperature requirements and the S80D for dew-cycle (darkness/moisture) simulation.
High Precision Control: The integrated system maintains strict tolerances for Black Panel Temperature (BPT) and Relative Humidity (RH), ensuring repeatable and reproducible results.
