The ultraviolet aging tester is a commonly used simulated weather aging test instrument, which can accelerate the aging process of materials by simulating factors such as ultraviolet radiation, high temperature, and high humidity, so as to evaluate the durability and weather resistance of materials. According to different test requirements and application scenarios, UV aging tester can be divided into the following types:
UV Aging Test Chamber
1. UVA ultraviolet aging tester
 
The UVA ultraviolet aging tester mainly simulates the ultraviolet A band in the solar spectrum, and the wavelength range is 315-400nm. This testing instrument is suitable for evaluating the light fastness and color stability of materials, such as plastics, paints, rubber and other materials. UVA ultraviolet aging tester usually uses a fluorescent ultraviolet lamp as a light source, and its radiation intensity and wavelength can be adjusted according to different test requirements.
 
2. UVB ultraviolet aging tester
 
The UVB ultraviolet aging tester mainly simulates the ultraviolet B band in the solar spectrum, with a wavelength range of 280-315nm. UVB ultraviolet aging tester is suitable for evaluating the durability and weather resistance of materials, such as plastic pipes, wires and cables and other materials. UVB ultraviolet aging testers usually use fluorescent ultraviolet lamps or quartz ultraviolet lamps as light sources, and their radiation intensity and wavelength can be adjusted according to different test requirements.
 
3. UVC ultraviolet aging tester
 
The UVC ultraviolet aging tester mainly simulates the ultraviolet C band in the solar spectrum, and the wavelength range is 200-280nm. This test instrument is suitable for evaluating the durability and sterilization performance of materials, such as medical devices, food packaging and other materials. UVC ultraviolet aging tester usually uses low-pressure mercury lamp or xenon lamp as the light source, and its radiation intensity and wavelength can be adjusted according to different test requirements.

4. Xenon xenon lamp aging tester
 
Xenon xenon lamp aging tester can simulate the full band spectrum in the solar spectrum, including visible light, ultraviolet A, ultraviolet B, etc. The Xenon Xenon Arc Weathering Tester is suitable for evaluating the durability and weatherability of materials, such as automotive interiors, building materials, etc. Xenon xenon lamp aging tester usually uses xenon lamp as the light source, and its radiation intensity and wavelength can be adjusted according to different test requirements.
 
In short, according to different test requirements and application scenarios, UV aging testers can be divided into many types, and each type of test instrument has its specific test light source and test parameters. When selecting a test instrument, it needs to be selected according to the specific test requirements and material characteristics.
