First, selection of artificial accelerated aging test conditions This problem is about which aging factors to simulate. Many factors, including the climate, may affect the aging of polymer materials in use. If we know the main factors of aging in advance, we can select the test method. We can find the test method by looking…

A constant temperature and humidity test chamber is widely used in many industries. It simulates temperature and humidity changes in different environments. It tests the physical properties of various materials, including: electronic and electrical components automation parts communication equipment automotive parts metals chemicals plastics This equipment is vital in the defence, aerospace, and military sectors….

What is salt spray, salt spray test classification Salt spray is a mix of tiny, salt-containing droplets in the air. It is a type of artificial environment used in three series of defense tests. Many companies need to simulate the destructive nature of coastal climates. A salt spray test simulates the generation of this phenomenon….

How to choose the right environmental control chamber for your needs? 1. Determine the test requirements Before choosing the test chamber, we must define their testing needs. You can determine the required environmental control chamber’s performance and specs. This depends on the test items, conditions, time, and other factors. 2. Temperature range and stability Temperature…

1 Terminology 1.1 General surface corrosion Uniform removal of material from the entire material-aggressive medium contact surface. This is a very common type of corrosion. Common types are sheet corrosion and surface corrosion. 1.2 Pitting corrosion (pore corrosion) The erosion of a limited localised area by a corrosive medium which penetrates into the material to…

High and low temperature testing finds out how well products adapt to extreme temperatures in storage, transport, and use. The severity of the test depends on the high or low temperature and the duration of exposure. All products are stored, preserved, or work in certain temperature environments. Some environments have constantly changing temperatures, sometimes high…

UV weathering testing uses an ultraviolet light source to simulate sunlight. It irradiates a sample to assess how quickly it ages under UV light. This test method simulates prolonged UV exposure in real use. It assesses the material’s weathering performance and lifespan. Scope of application The UV weathering test applies to a wide range of…

Warm tips about sending samples before UV aging test: 1. UV aging tests must provide comparison samples. If you can cut the sample, you do not need to provide comparison samples. 2. The standard sample size: length 50-150 mm, width 50-75 mm, thickness <10 mm. According to the standard, test 3 samples. It’s best to…

A constant temperature and humidity box has precise controls. It tests high and low temperatures and different humidity levels. It’s suitable for electronics, food, plastics, auto parts, lamps, chemicals, building materials, and clothing. It detects changes in temperature and humidity during tests. Proper use and upkeep of the humidity box can greatly extend its life….

Background of the IEC 61215 standard and differences between the two versions Background of IEC 61215 IEC 61215 is an IEC test method. It is for ‘Crystalline silicon ground-mounted PV modules – Design confirmation and type approval’. The standard is now widely used by the solar industry to test materials or products. Differences between IEC…
