TECHNICAL OVERVIEW
Key Features
Comprehensive simulation of solar radiation, temperature and humidity for accurate material testing.
02
Full Spectrum Light
Some chambers replicate the full spectrum of sunlight, including UV, visible light, and infrared radiation, to provide a more accurate test of material performance under real-world sunlight.
03
Temperature Control
The chamber can maintain controlled temperatures to simulate varying levels of heat exposure that materials would experience under direct sunlight.
04
Humidity Control
Many chambers also control humidity levels, simulating rain, fog, or high-humidity environments, which can further accelerate material degradation when combined with solar radiation.
05
Sample Mounting Systems
To expose samples correctly, test chambers often have adjustable platforms or racks that can rotate or tilt samples to ensure uniform exposure.
CONTROLLED EXPOSURE
Reproduce outdoor conditions inside the laboratory.
Solar radiation testing combines controlled light exposure with environmental conditions to evaluate how products perform or degrade during prolonged sunlight and outdoor-like exposure.
