SN-T Benchtop Xenon Arc Weathering Test Chamber
SN-T Benchtop Xenon Arc Weathering Test Chamber is an accelerated weathering testing instrument that uses a xenon arc lamp to simulate the full solar spectrum reaching the earth’s surface. By precisely controlling temperature, humidity, radiation intensity, and water spray conditions, it reproduces outdoor environmental damage and evaluates the light resistance, weather resistance, and aging performance of various materials.
The xenon arc weathering tester is widely used in automotive, coatings, rubber, plastics, pigments, adhesives, textiles, and other industries for product development, quality control, and reliability testing.

Product Features
• Full-spectrum sunlight simulation using xenon arc lamp technology to reproduce natural sunlight aging effects.
• Accelerated weathering testing by combining light irradiation, heat radiation, temperature control, humidity control, and water spray cycles.
• Compact benchtop design suitable for laboratories, research institutions, and quality inspection departments.
• High-precision temperature control system with intelligent microcomputer calculation for stable test conditions.
• SUS304 mirror stainless steel inner chamber provides corrosion resistance and easy cleaning.
• Independent heating and lighting systems reduce interference and improve testing accuracy.
• Adjustable water spray pressure and spray cycles simulate different outdoor climate conditions.
• Equipped with safety protection functions including over-temperature protection, leakage protection, and fault alarm shutdown.

Working Principle
The SN-T Xenon Arc Weathering Test Chamber uses a xenon arc lamp as the light source to generate a spectrum close to natural sunlight, including ultraviolet, visible, and infrared wavelengths.
During testing, material samples are exposed to controlled xenon lamp radiation while the chamber regulates temperature, humidity, and water spray conditions. The combined effects of light, heat, moisture, and thermal cycling accelerate material degradation processes such as:
• Color fading
• Gloss reduction
• Cracking
• Powdering
• Strength deterioration
• Surface aging
By comparing the physical and optical changes before and after exposure, users can evaluate material durability and weather resistance.
