The SUGA U48AU Carbon Arc Weathering Test Chamber is a globally recognized instrument designed for high-precision accelerated lightfastness and weathering testing. By utilizing an enclosed carbon arc lamp as its primary light source, this chamber replicates the ultraviolet and visible spectrum of sunlight to evaluate how materials degrade over time. It allows you to simulate the effects of prolonged solar exposure on various products—ranging from textiles to electronics—ensuring that your materials meet international durability and colorfastness requirements before they reach the market.

Applications

The SUGA U48AU Carbon Arc Weathering Test Chamber is a globally recognized instrument for accelerated sunlight colorfastness testing. It evaluates the light-induced aging of various materials and products, serving applications in textile fibers, building materials, notebooks, and common office supplies. The chamber complies with multiple sunlight colorfastness testing standards.

Accessories

Ultraviolet Carbon Rods: Specialized electrodes designed for 48-hour continuous discharge.

Specimen Holders: Stainless steel clips designed for standard $65text{mm} times 55text{mm}$ samples.

Black Panel Thermometer (BPT): For monitoring the surface temperature of the specimens.

Glass Filter Globes: High-transparency globes to protect the samples from combustion byproducts while transmitting the required UV spectrum.

Humidifier Wick/Atomizer: Components for the humidity generation system.

Test Procedures

1. Preparation of Samples

Measure and cut your test materials to the standard $65text{mm} times 55text{mm}$ size. Mount them securely into the specimen holders, ensuring the side to be tested is facing inward toward the light source.

2. Rod and Filter Installation

Install a new set of carbon rods into the lamp assembly. Clean the glass globe to ensure maximum UV transmission and place it over the arc assembly. Check the gap between the rods to ensure reliable ignition.

3. Parameter Configuration

Access the control panel to set the Black Panel Temperature (BPT) to the standard $63^{circ}text{C}$ and configure the humidity levels. Set the timer for the required test duration (up to 48 hours for a single rod cycle).

4. Initiating the Test

Start the air circulation and humidity systems first, then ignite the carbon arc. The specimen rack will begin to rotate around the light source to ensure that every sample receives an identical dose of radiation.

5. Final Assessment

Once the test cycle is complete, remove the samples. Compare the exposed specimens against an unexposed control sample or a standard Gray Scale to evaluate the degree of color change, fading, or physical degradation.
