The UV-accelerated weathering test chamber is a key item of equipment used to simulate solar radiation and perform accelerated ageing evaluations on materials. Its electrical system must not only drive high-power UV sources but also acquire and control signals for temperature, humidity, spray, etc.

The lamps in a UV aging test chamber will degrade over prolonged use, and aging lamps need to be replaced promptly. So, how do you select the right lamp for the test chamber? Are there any tips for making the right choice? Today, we’ll share some useful tips for selecting UV aging test chamber lamps.

If the high and low temperature humidity test chamber is used frequently and for a long time, the water in the equipment's water tank may not be sufficient to complete the test.

Salt-spray corrosion testing is the primary accelerated method for validating the corrosion resistance of materials and their protective coatings. Whether a chamber can continuously generate neutral (NSS), acetic-acid (AASS) or copper-accelerated acetic-acid (CASS) salt fog for 48 h–1 000 h determines the repeatability and reproducibility of the test.

Salt fog (salt spray) test chambers are standardized instruments designed to determine the corrosion resistance of materials and their protective coatings. The test results serve as a technical basis for reliability design, quality control, and service-life prediction in industries such as electrical and electronic engineering, digital components, plastics, aerospace equipment, and many others.
