Materials and coatings can be adversely affected by sunlight exposure. ATS has the capacity to perform xenon testing, a form of accelerated weathering, to reproduce the effects of natural sunlight exposure, directly or through window glass.
Material Qualification Through Xenon Testing
The sunlight radiation is created using xenon arc light encased in various filters to tailor the radiation spectrum to a specific application.
Our state of the art xenon arc chambers (Ci4000 and QSun) have the ability to introduce controlled environmental conditions through temperature, humidity and spray exposure.
ATS' Commitment to Quality
Our environmental testing division, home to the solar testing lab where we perform xenon and UV analysis on client samples, maintains an ISO 17025 (A2LA) accreditation to conduct xenon arc exposure testing according to the following test standards:
- ASTM G155
- ASTM D2565
- ASTM D4459
- ASTM D6695
- SAE J2412
- SAE J2527
- ISO 4892–2
