Thermostatic test chamber

climatichumiditytemperature

Overview
Accelerated simulation of ultraviolet radiation on materials, surfaces and packaging. Photodegradation tests with UV-A, UV-B and UV-C lamps, with precise temperature and humidity control for repeatable laboratory aging and stability tests.

Standards & Applications

• Designed for tests compliant with ISO 4892 (plastics weathering)
• Supports ASTM G154 cyclic weathering procedures
• Can be configured for ICH Q1B photostability tests

Controlled UV Simulation
Accelerated photodegradation tests with precise control of radiation, temperature and humidity. Programmable light/condensation cycles reproduce realistic environmental stressors for materials, coatings, packaging and components.

Main features

• Customizable UV lamps: UV-A 340 nm (solar aging), UV-B 313 nm (accelerated degradation) and UV-C 254 nm (sterilization/specific tests)
• Vertical or horizontal lamp arrangement with engineered uniformity across shelves
• Complete climate control: temperature range from −10°C to +55°C and humidity control from 10% to 80% RH
• Advanced programming: revoFACE color touchscreen controller with up to 10 programs × 50 segments for ramps, holds and transitions (cycles from 1 minute to 999 hours)
• Condensation simulation using ultrasonic humidification for alternating UV / humidity cycles
• Security and traceability: intelligent alarms, USB data logging and RS232 / Ethernet interfaces for remote monitoring and event logging
• Adjustable internal volume options from compact to large (laboratory sizes available)

Controllers — testing philosophies

• stillFACE: two dedicated displays for temperature and humidity, manual setpoint control, continuous monitoring and configurable audio-visual alarms — ideal for stability testing and passive monitoring.
• revoFACE: 7" color touchscreen, full cyclic programming, data export, RS485/Ethernet connectivity and mobile app support — ideal for advanced automated cycles and complex test sequences.
