The Importance of UV Aging Test Chamber and Precautions for Use

UV aging test chamber have the advantages of rapid experiment and high precision devices, which can be used to simulate the external environment and evaluate the durability, reliability and wear resistance of materials. It is an indispensable part of product quality control and research and development process.

UV aging test chamber is an essential equipment for quality inspection and product research and development, which can simulate ultraviolet, humidity and temperature in natural environment, evaluate the durability, reliability and wear resistance of materials, and is an indispensable part of the experimental equipment in product quality control and research and development process. The UV aging test chamber is based on the simulation experiment of natural environment, and can be effectively used to evaluate the brittleness level of non-metallic materials and organic chemical raw materials, such as building coatings, paints, sulfurized rubber, plastics and crafts, so as to quickly evaluate their fading, discoloration, delamination, cracking, blurred, brittle, decreased compression strength and air oxidation.

In view of the hazard from outdoor environment, the UV aging test chamber can reproduce the damage effect of several months or years in a short time, help to select and evaluate industrial raw materials durability, promote raw material change and adjustment, and greatly depend and improve the production and development of modern industry. The UV aging test chamber uses a high temperature control simulation source, uses UV irradiation and wet-cold alternation to simulate the sun, rain and dew, and tests the influence of sunlight UV and wet-cold on materials to obtain accurate information and parameters for material anti-ultraviolet aging performance.

The UV aging test chamber can accurately predict the loss effect of outdoor materials, which can help material improvement and product selection, and greatly depend on and improve the production and development of modern industry. It uses fluorescent ultraviolet germicidal lamp to simulate the sun, wet cold and spray method to simulate rainfall and dew, reproduce the influence of outdoor environment, and obtain the actual durability information of materials in a short time. The UV aging test chamber can simulate the damage of goods in the outdoor climate, and is an important quality testing tool in the product development process.

Ultraviolet (UV) light only makes up 5% of sunlight, but it is the primary atmospheric factor that can decrease the durability of outdoor products. There are many different kinds of UV lights to choose from, and in most cases, it is only necessary to simulate short-wave UV light. Most of these UV lights mainly produce ultraviolet light rather than visible light and infrared light. The main difference between the lights lies in the total energy they produce in their respective wavelength ranges. Different lights produce different test results. However, ultraviolet rays can act on the central nervous system, leading to headaches, dizziness, and increased body temperature. Acting on the eyes can cause conjunctivitis, keratitis, called photokeratitis, and can also induce cataracts, so it is necessary to take proper protection when operating UV aging test chamber.

In order to ensure safety when operating the UV aging test chamber, the following protective measures should be taken: when ultraviolet long wave (320-400 nm) is used, thicker work clothes, special fluorescence ultraviolet protective glasses and maintenance rubber gloves should be worn; when medium wave (280-320 nm) is used, professional protective clothes and professional protective glasses should be worn; when short wave (200-280 nm) is used, professional UV protective mask should be worn to protect face and double eyes from UV radiation. For those who operate the UV aging test box, please pay attention to protection and safety first.
