Description: The QUV Accelerated weathering tester is a laboratory simulation of the damaging forces of weather for the purpose of predicting the relative durability of materials exposed to the outdoor environment. Rain and dew are simulated by a revolutionary condensation system. The damaging effect of sunlight are simulated by flourescent UV lamps. Exposure temerature isautomatically controlled, as is the daily sequenceof UV periods and condensation periods. In a few days or weeks, the QUV can produce damage that might occur over months are years of outdoor exposure. Deterioration observed includes fading,chalking, cracking, crazing, hazing, blistering,gloss loss, strength loss and embrittlement.
SPECIFICATIONS:Functions - UV Exposure: Cloice of lamps for various applications. Exposure temperature of122 - 176 degrees F. - Condensation exposure: Direct condensation of distilled water on the test sample at temperatures of 104 - 140 degrees F.Utilities - Water requirements: Use either tap or deionized water. Comsumptions is approx. 8 liters per day. Automatic water feed is standard including 1/4in tubing & saddle valve for simple hook up. No drain necessary.
Electrical: Max. power consumption 1500 Watts. Average power consumption 700 watts. - 110 volt/1200 Watts Test capacity: 48 samples 3in x 6in. Thickness up to 3/4in. Panels are spring mounted on removable holders.
Lamp usage: Lamps are ratated every 400 hours. Lamp life is approx. 1600 hours.
Recognition: Conforms to ASTM G-53, D4329, D4587 D 4799, SAE J2020, ISO 4892 and numerous Intftl test methods and material specification requirements.
