Xenon Test Chamber LXC-C13

Labtron Xenon Test Chamber LXC-C13 has xenon arc lamps which are essential for weathering tests because they provide a full-spectrum light source that closely replicates natural sunlight, including UV, visible, and infrared wavelengths. This allows for highly accurate simulation of outdoor environmental conditions, making the test results more reliable and applicable to real-world usage. Xenon lamps are especially valuable in industries such as automotive, aerospace, construction, plastics, and coatings, where light-induced degradation affects product performance. These lamps allow both narrowband and broadband testing, offering flexibility in meeting various standards and application needs. Their superior correlation with natural exposure makes them preferable to other artificial light sources, such as fluorescent or mercury vapor lamps. Furthermore, xenon chambers often include features such as temperature and humidity control to simulate complex climate conditions, enhancing test realism.

Labtron’s xenon test chamber LXC-C13 is designed for exact simulation of real-world environmental conditions, including sunlight, temperature, and humidity. Its programmable irradiance control allows users to define total energy exposure, ensuring test consistency. High-precision Pt 100 sensors monitor critical temperatures like BPT and BST for reliable data tracking. The system automatically adjusts for light intensity changes due to lamp aging, maintaining consistent output. Compliance with international testing standards guarantees compatibility with global requirements. The use of high-quality xenon arc lamps and filters ensures accurate and repeatable results. A multi-level rotating sample rack maximizes exposure uniformity. These features make it ideal for advanced weathering and aging assessments across diverse materials.

Labtron’s xenon test chamberLXC-C13 is equipped with an advanced irradiance monitoring system that maintains consistent light intensity throughout the test cycle. The system adjusts the xenon lamp power in real time to compensate for aging effects or environmental fluctuations. It supports specific wavelength controls at 340nm, 420nm, and broad spectrums like 300–800nm, ensuring accurate UV and visible light exposure. This regulation helps achieve high repeatability in long-term testing of sensitive materials. By stabilizing irradiance, the chamber reduces variability between test runs. It also prevents under- or overexposure, which could lead to inaccurate aging data. The automated control removes the need for frequent recalibration. Overall, it guarantees stable performance for continuous testing.

Labtron’s xenon test chamber LXC-C13 uses a high-intensity xenon arc lamp to replicate the complete solar spectrum, including ultraviolet (UV), visible, and infrared (IR) radiation. The light is filtered using precision optical filters to match natural sunlight conditions, such as daylight or window glass exposure. This accurate spectrum reproduction is critical for realistic aging of materials like plastics, coatings, textiles, and automotive parts. The chamber supports narrowband and broadband irradiance control, including 340nm, 420nm, and ranges like 300–800nm. This ensures materials are tested under the exact light conditions they’ll face in real-world environments. The result is more predictable and scientifically valid test outcomes. Therefore, the xenon test chamber is a trusted solution for validating product durability under sunlight.

The cooling system in a xenon test chamberLXC-C13 plays a vital role in maintaining stable internal conditions and protecting critical components. Xenon lamps generate a high amount of heat, which must be precisely controlled to prevent overheating and maintain test accuracy. The system uses circulating water and air to dissipate this heat efficiently. If cooling parameters such as temperature or flow rate exceed safe limits, built-in alarms activate and the system shuts down automatically. This protects the lamp, sensors, and test samples from thermal damage. Consistent cooling also helps maintain steady BPT and BST readings. With its intelligent design, the cooling system contributes significantly to the xenon test chamber’s reliability and longevity. It ensures the chamber performs consistently even during long test cycles.
