Testing of metal materials - Import export

The irradiation chamber BS-02CT is a chamber to test samples according IEC 60335-1: “Household and similar electrical appliances – Safety – Part 1: General requirements - Edition 5.2” This test is designed for non-metallic materials that are exposed to direct or reflected UVC radiation from 200 nm to 280 nm. The test can be used to test radiation stability against UVC radiation that can cause aging like discolorations, changes in material properties, crack formation and smell. Therefore the UVC low pressure mercury lamps emit a continuous spectral irradiance of 10 W/m² at 254 nm. IR heater heat up the samples so that a black-panel temperature of 63 °C ± 3 °C can be reached and controlled. The time can be set to an exposure duration of 1000 h. The irradiation chamber BS-02CT can also be used to test material properties that are disinfected by UV-C. Typically the UVC dose of a daily disinfection for a period of two years can be accelerated to 12 hours.
