Xenon Arc Weathering Testing
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
Atlas has been designing and manufacturing material weathering test equipment for more than 100 years, initially starting with carbon–arc lighting technology inside. Since the introduction of the first xenon-arc based weathering instrument – the Xenotest 150 – xenon-arc instruments, also known as Weather-Ometers®, Xenotest® or SUNTEST®, have become indispensable tools for new product development and quality control.

Natural Weathering Testing Sites
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
It is not practical to determine the weathering characteristics of materials in all of the world's climates. Therefore, benchmark climates selected for exposure testing are based on their known severity for the weathering of materials and the anticipated market of the product. The major marketing area of the material should be taken into consideration when selecting suitable climates and sites for weathering tests. Each class of materials is sensitive to a specific group of environmental parameters. Humidity, rain, and salt spray can cause corrosion of metals. For plastics and coatings, ultraviolet radiation, temperature, and moisture can initiate material degradation.

SUNTEST
XLS+
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The SUNTEST XLS+ is used to check for property changes of materials and products caused by sunlight, temperature and moisture in a short period of time. The aging which, outdoor or indoor, may take place over months or years, such as fading, yellowing or loss of strength, can often be simulated within weeks inside a SUNTEST.

HVFAA Horizontal Vertical FAA Flame Chamber
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The Atlas HVFAA Horizontal Vertical Flame Chamber provides the most accurate means for determining the flammability of aircraft cabin and cargo compartment materials, liners and waste stowage compartment materials, and electric wire. The large volume chamber prevents oxygen depletion during tests. Three digital timers with remote control make specimen event timing precise and convenient. To ensure accurate and repeatable tests, an optional burner flame temperature verification kit is available. The HVFAA is the optimal instrument for conducting repeatable FAA flammability tests and is used in the FAA’s training facility.
