QUV ACCELERATED WEATHERING TESTER

QUV - The World's Most Widely Used Weathering Tester

UV light is responsible for almost all photodegradation of durable materials exposed outdoors.  The QUV tester’s fluorescent lamps simulate the critical short-wave UV and realistically reproduce the physical property damage caused by sunlight.  Types of damage include color change, gloss loss, chalking, cracking, crazing, hazing, blistering, embrittlement, strength loss and oxidation

Dew, not rain, is responsible for most of the wetness that occurs in outdoor exposure.  The QUV tester's condensation system realistically simulates dew and accelerates its effect using elevated temperature

The condensation process automatically purifies the ordinary tap water used in the system.  This is because the process of evaporating and condensing the water onto the specimens is actually a distillation process, which removes all impurities 

The QUV tester conveniently accommodate up to 48 specimens (75mm x 150mm) and complies with a wide range of international, national, and industry specifications, ensuring the reliability and reproducibility of your test program

Easy to Operate 

The QUV tester’s simple, proven design makes it easy to install, easy to use, and almost maintenance-free. It operates completely automatically, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Features include:

• Simple user interface for easy programming
• Exposure conditions displayed continuously
• Self-diagnostic warnings and service reminders
• Quick calibration with patented AUTOCAL system
