im体育APP performs carbon arc testing on plastics, paints and coatings as well as other accelerated weathering testing methods to qualify new 材料 and determine their durability.
Carbon Arc 测试 Methods
Carbon arc instruments are some of the earliest accelerated weathering test chambers designed to test the light-fastness durability of 材料, and remain to this day a valuable test method used to evaluate the resistance of polymeric 材料 against sunlight and moisture.
Carbon arc devices use an arcing light source to simulate sunlight. Ignited carbon rods emit ultraviolet, 可见, and infrared radiation as an electric current is arced between them. im体育APP’s laboratories are equipped with Sunshine Carbon Arc Weather-Ometers (SWOM), which use an open flame to evaluate the optimum integrity for your products, while ensuring compliance with relevant industry standards.
Carbon Arc 测试 Standards
im体育APP is accredited to perform carbon arc testing to the following standards:
- ASTM G152: standard practice for operating open flame carbon arc light apparatus for exposure of nonmetallic 材料
- ASTM D1499: standard practice for filtered open flame carbon arc exposures of plastics
- JIS B 7753: light exposure and light and water exposure apparatus (open flame carbon arc type)
- JIS D 0205: test method of weatherability for automotive parts
- NES M 0135: weatherability and light resistance test methods for 合成树脂 parts
- NES M 0141: test method for coating of 合成树脂
- MES MN 201B: test method for plastic 材料
- MES MN 350M: window glass adhesives
