A laboratory device used to estimate the life of coatings by subjection to ultraviolet light, water, etc.
An electrical instrument used to accelerate the weather of paint and varnish films by exposure to a powerful light.
(1) An indoor accelerated weathering machine using carbon arcs or other forms of intense light to simulate the outdoor weathering process due to sunlight, moisture may also be sprayed onto the samples; (2) An instrument used to subject material specimens to accelerated weathering conditions.
A laboratory machine which replicates changes in lighting and atmospheric conditions, providing a greatly accelerated guide to the likely weathering performance of a coating.
An instrument used for accelerated testing of coatings for their resistance to exterior exposure conditions. Alternate periods of artificial sunlight and darkness, interspersed with simulated showers, are repeated continuously and automatically until the film shows signs of deterioration. Its durability is then expressed in number of cycles or number of hours of exposure.
An instrument which is utilized to subject articles to accelerated weathering conditions, eg rich UV source and water spray.
A testing machine used to expose thread to accelerated weathering conditions and measure its affect on color fastness, strength and other physical characteristics.
