Unitemp announces the availability of a new range of low cost test chambers for the simulation of primarily of weather exposure on materials, plastics and metals
This innovative range manufactured by the Italy based Cofomegra group are claimed to be the first small testing chambers to allow both simulation and control of all weathering parameters.
Designated the Solarboxe RH range, it consists of two models, the 1500e RH and the 3000e RH.
They incorporate a xenon light system for accelerated sun exposure, with a built in UV sensor and BST thermometer sensor.
In the base two water tanks are installed, one is for the humidifier and the other for the flooding system.
Both have a capacity of 50 litres of demineralised water to ensure nearly continuos working.
A broad based irradiance control sensor ensures constant irradiance for the life cycle of the lamp, with a complete range of UV filters to match sunlight conditions outdoors and through glass (indoors).
Included are accurate controlled and monitored temperature with relative humidity over a period of time with a sample flooding system for cyclic sample immersion.
An easy to use eye level control panel with LCD display with the latest state of the art microprocessor control.
At all times the temperature range of up to 100C and the relative humidity can be controlled and displayed.
Free software is provided for 15 programmes, and an RS232 interface allows printout of the test report.
The frame is constructed with steel, while the sample holder is of stainless steel.
The 1500e measures 810x550x1600mm and weighs 100kg with an exposure area of 280x200mm.
The 3000e measures 950x550x1600mm and weighs 125kg with an exposure area 420x200mm.
Options include various non ageing soda lime UV filters, and XEN 32 software for report / maintenance level.
This range complements Unitemp's extensive range of test and monitoring chambers / ovens, and they have the expertise to provide 'specials' to customer requirements.
