This ASTM G155 G151 Accelerated Weathering Xenon Test Apparatus features a spacious rotating sample holder capable of accommodating up to 42 specimens, guaranteeing uniform irradiance and exposure across all samples. The interior workroom is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, offering excellent resistance to corrosion, rust, and moisture, ensuring long-term durability. Advanced sensors continuously monitor black panel temperature (BPT), irradiance, and ambient temperature, delivering highly accurate and reproducible test data. The automatic water supply system supports spray, humidification, and lamp cooling while recycling condensate and precisely refilling water to conserve resources and reduce operational costs.
Functional Advantages
1. High-Fidelity Sunlight Simulation: The apparatus is equipped with a 4500 W water-cooled xenon arc lamp that reproduces the full 280–800 nm light spectrum, accurately simulating natural sunlight including UV, visible, and infrared radiation. The water-cooled system stabilizes lamp temperature, prevents overheating, and extends lamp performance, ensuring consistent light output throughout the test. The lamp has a rated lifespan of up to 1600 hours, after which replacement is recommended to maintain test accuracy. Combined with Black Panel Temperature (BPT) control and radiometers, the chamber guarantees stable irradiance and precise temperature distribution across all specimens, allowing materials such as plastics, coatings, textiles, and cables to be evaluated under realistic environmental conditions.
2. Uniform Exposure and Rotating Sample Holder: A rotating sample holder ensures 42 specimen receives consistent irradiance and moisture exposure, minimizing variability and improving test reliability. The holder is user-friendly, easily accommodating different shapes and sizes, while supporting simultaneous testing of multiple samples to enhance laboratory efficiency.
3. Precise Light, Temperature, and Humidty Control: The chamber maintains BPT from 35–85 °C (±2 °C) and relative humidity from 30–98 % RH (±2.5 %), with flexible dry/wet and water spray cycles to replicate dew, rain, and condensation. High-precision PID control ensures stable and repeatable conditions, critical for accurate material aging and performance evaluation.
4. Intelligent Automation and Remote Monitoring: Equipped with a programmable color touch screen, the controller allows operators to design up to 120 test programs with 100 steps each. Real-time monitoring and data logging via Ethernet facilitate remote control and centralized management of multiple chambers. Multi-language support ensures global usability.
5. Eco-Friendly Water System: The integrated automatic water supply and recycling system supports spray, humidification, and lamp cooling, while condensate recovery minimizes water consumption. This sustainable design aligns with environmentally responsible laboratory practices.
6. Durable Construction and Safety Features: The workroom's SUS304 stainless steel construction combined with a reinforced outer steel frame ensures long-term stability and corrosion resistance. Comprehensive safety mechanisms include over-temperature, over-current, water shortage, phase sequence, and earth leakage protection to safeguard both operators and specimens.
7. Customizable Testing Options: The chamber supports a variety of custom sample holders, test sequences, and exposure cycles. Optional features include front and rear water spray, specialized optical filters, and custom workroom configurations, allowing adaptation to diverse testing needs and compliance with global standards.
8. Reliable Performance and After-Sales Support: LIB provides a 3-year warranty with lifetime technical support, global spare parts availability, and rapid delivery. The chamber is CE and RoHS certified, ensuring compliance with international quality standards while providing consistent, reproducible results across long-term testing projects.

Daily Maintenance Guide
To ensure stable operation and accurate results of the ASTM G155 G151 Accelerated Weathering Xenon Test Apparatus, regular maintenance is essential. Inspect heating and cooling systems, circulation fans, temperature sensors, and electrical components for dust, loose connections, and smooth operation. Clean and check the humidification and spray systems, including water tanks, pumps, filters, heaters, and nozzles, to maintain proper moisture control. Verify the xenon lamp, quartz filters, radiometers, and black panel thermometer for brightness, cleanliness, and accurate measurements. Inspect auxiliary parts such as locks, sealing strips, drain valves, grounding, and sample holders. Keep the chamber in a well-ventilated environment below 30 °C during operation. Consistent maintenance preserves test accuracy, ensures uniform specimen exposure, and prolongs the life of the 4500 W water-cooled xenon lamp for reliable and repeatable weathering tests.

FAQs
1. What is the lifespan of the xenon lamp, and can it be extended?
The water-cooled xenon lamp has a standard lifespan of up to 1600 hours. After this period, it can still operate, but light intensity gradually decreases, which may affect test accuracy. To ensure reliable results, we recommend replacing the lamp after reaching its lifespan. Proper maintenance, such as keeping the cooling system clean and ensuring correct water flow, can help maintain lamp performance during its service life.
2. Can the xenon lamp spray water from both the front and rear?
Yes, the xenon lamp system can be optionally equipped with front and rear water spray functionality. This enhances the simulation of wet and humid environmental cycles for more realistic material aging tests. Installing the rear spray requires an additional cost of 1230 dollors.
3. What is the difference between BPT and BST, and how much do they differ?
BPT (Black Panel Temperature): Measures the temperature of a metal plate painted black under xenon lamp illumination, reflecting the temperature experienced by metallic test specimens. BST (Black Standard Temperature): Measures the temperature of an insulating black-painted plastic plate, reflecting the temperature of standard non-metallic surfaces. The difference between BPT and BST depends on material type and thermal conductivity, typically ranging from 5 °C to 10 °C, but varies based on test conditions.
