Arc test chambers accelerate environmental aging by replicating conditions like sunlight, rain, and humidity in a matter of weeks or days. These chambers help manufacturers evaluate how weather exposure and aging impact their products. Modern arc test chambers primarily use xenon arc lamps to simulate direct sunlight and ultraviolet radiation, though some models still utilize carbon-based technology.
To create a realistic outdoor simulation, arc test chambers also regulate humidity and temperature, accounting for dew and rainfall—both key contributors to material degradation. Additional features such as optical filters, chillers, and water sprays further enhance testing accuracy.
Avalon Test Equipment provides arc test chamber rentals to support durability testing across various industries, ensuring products can withstand environmental exposure over time.
