Iwasaki SUV-W171 Super UV Tester

30 times or greater UV irradiation intensity than conventional wheatherometers.

Using metal halide lamp UV irradiation, the SUV-W171 reproduces a one-year outdoor exposure test in about 48 hours. It is an ultra-rapid testing machine that supports Japan's advanced technology sector and enables material sciences to quickly evaluate samples that would normally take weeks or months to test.

Iwasaki Electric’s light technology makes it possible to provide an efficient testing environment that is not affected by weather, season, or time.

The EYE Super UV Tester uses a proprietary high output UV lamp that generates ultraviolet light very efficiently. Its UV irradiation intensity is 30 or more times greater than that of sunlight and conventional wheathermeters. For even greater solar correlation, UV radiation below 295nm is removed from the light source by our custom-made filter.

Natural sunlight reaching the ground does not include wavelengths below 295nm. By eliminating wavelengths below 295nm, the system creates a test environment that approximates outdoor exposure and provides accelerated degradation results similar to those obtained under natural times.
