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.

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
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.

Custom Solar Simulation
Atlas Material Testing Solutions
Solar heat load effects are critical with respect to product functionality, operational performance, thermal management, noise and dimensional stability. Therefore, any new product made from different materials and components should be tested under solar environmental conditions representative of those locations in which it will exist - anywhere ranging from the heat of the Australian Outback to the frigid climate of arctic regions.

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.

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.
