Xenon lamp aging test overview: The so-called artificial light source (laboratory light source or artificial climate) exposure test method is an aging test method that achieves the purpose of artificial acceleration by simulating and strengthening some main aging factors in the environment
Due to the urgent need to evaluate the weather resistance of materials in actual production, some artificial light source equipment is used to accelerate aging. These light sources include: (filtered) broadband arc lamps, fluorescent UV lamps, metal halide lamps (metal halidelamps), and open carbon arc lamps: there are also some less commonly used light sources, these include: mercury vapor lamps, tungsten lamp (tungsten 1amp) [4]. The national standard GB/T16422-1 23 (equivalent to IS04892, 1994) promulgated by China in 1997 stipulates the exposure test methods for the three most commonly used light sources: xenon lamp, fluorescent ultraviolet lamp and open carbon arc lamp.
