Weathering Test Services
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The climates of southern Florida and central Arizona are recognized as global benchmarks for natural weathering environments. The warm, humid, subtropical environment of our outdoor test sites in Miami and the intense sun and arid climate of our site in Phoenix are some of the harshest climates to which your products can be exposed. Often the best natural weathering test scenario requires testing in a variety of climates. For that reason, Atlas offers the world’s largest network of outdoor weathering test facilities with more than 20 sites worldwide.

MHG Solar Simulation
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
Filtered MHG lighting is a mature technology used since the 80’s for larger solar simulators inside environmental test chambers. MHG lamps are filled with a mixture of mercury, halides and rare earth elements which vaporize during ignition, generating a plasma. After a few minutes, the plasma reaches thermal equilibrium and emits a quasi-continuous spectrum (when properly filtered) similar to global solar radiation.

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.

Natural Weathering Testing
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
The increased demand for getting decision-making data as fast as possible makes more and more companies turn to accelerated weathering. But no accelerated weathering program can be complete without the confirmation from and correlation to natural weathering. Natural weathering provides the data you need to ensure that your product is covered against costly liability issues.

Fluorescent / Accelerated UV Testing
UVTest
-
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
Fluorescent UV lamps, similar in mechanical and electrical characteristics to those used for residential and commercial lighting, have been developed with specific spectral distributions. These sources are incorporated into fluorescent UV condensation devices such as the Atlas UVTest. These devices may be used in tests that vary light/dark cycles, temperature, condensing humidity, water sprays, and irradiance control.
