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 UV test chamber'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. See LU-0801 - QUV Brochure. The QUV tester conveniently accommodates 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. Visit our standards page for more information. Easy to Operate The QUV UV 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 in five user-selectable languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian or German - Exposure conditions displayed continuously - Self-diagnostic warnings and service reminders - Quick calibration with patented AUTOCAL system Affordable The QUV tester is economical to purchase and to operate, because it uses: - low cost, long life fluorescent UV lamps - ordinary tap water for condensation Models (see also Features Tab) - QUV/basic: UV and condensation (no irradiance control) - QUV/se: UV, condensation and SOLAR EYE irradiance control - QUV/spray: UV, condensation, SOLAR EYE irradiance control and water spray - QUV/cw: cool white visible light, condensation and SOLAR EYE irradiance control See LU-0819 - QUV Specifications or the Features Tab for comparative capabilities. Model QUV/basic This is a simplified version of the QUV tester for the lab where economy is critical. The model QUV/basic uses fluorescent UV lamps and a condensation system for moisture simulation. The model, however, does not include the SOLAR EYE irradiance control. Consequently, the light intensity cannot be adjusted or calibrated. This means the QUV/basic tester cannot be used for high irradiance testing. In addition, periodic lamp replacement and repositioning is required. Q-Lab recommends the QUV/basic tester for comparative exposures where the test specimens and the control specimens are exposed at the same time, in the same tester. Model QUV/se The most popular QUV model features the SOLAR EYE Irradiance Control, for precise maintenance of UV light intensity. The QUV/se tester uses a proven condensation mechanism to simulate outdoor moisture attack. The SOLAR EYE system is a precision control system that automatically maintains light intensity through a feedback loop. The controller monitors UV intensity and compensates for lamp aging and variability by adjusting power to the lamps. The SOLAR EYE system provides: - Controlled irradiance - Longer lamp life - Faster results - More reproducible and repeatable testing - ISO calibration For more information on the benefits of the SOLAR EYE irradiance control system, see LU-0801 - QUV Brochure. Model QUV/spray The QUV/spray tester has the same functions as a standard QUV/se, but also includes a water spray system. Short periods of spray can be used to create a thermal shock. Longer periods can be used to achieve mechanical erosion. The QUV/spray tester can be set to produce: UV alone, spray alone, or condensation. Deionized water is recommended for all spray applications. Model QUV/cw Some industry test methods specify the use of cool white fluorescent lamps for indoor photostability testing. To reproduce these indoor light conditions, the QUV/cw uses ordinary cool white fluorescent lamps. It has a SOLAR EYE irradiance control system that monitors and controls visible light output, rather than UV. See LU-0823 - QUV/cw Summary for more information. Temperature Control All QUV UV testers precisely control temperature to enhance accuracy and accelerate test results. Although temperature does not normally affect the primary photochemical reaction, it does affect the rate of any subsequent reactions. Therefore, the QUV tester’s ability to control temperature is essential during UV exposure. Versatile Specimen Mounting Standard specimen holders easily adjust for any thickness up to 20mm (3/4") and allow fast, snap-action specimen mounting. Retaining rings provide positive hold-down and do not require that test specimens be cut to close tolerance. In addition, custom holders are available for mounting various products, such as lenses, larger specimens, and 3-D components. See the accessories tab or our specimen mounting page for more information. Controls & Optional Software Designed to be both functional and easy to use, the QUV controller can be programmed in five user-selectable languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian or German) and includes complete self-diagnostic error checking. The controller constantly monitors the status and performance of all systems. It also displays simple warning messages, routine service reminders or performs safety shutdown, as needed. For quality systems that require documented proof of test conditions, every QUV tester is equipped with an Ethernet connection. Optional “Virtual Strip Chart” PC software allows the user to automatically record exposure conditions and directly transfer data from the QUV UV test chamber to a Windows-based computer. This data can also be emailed directly to Q-Lab's technical support desk for expert troubleshooting and diagnostics. QUV Lamps Fluorescent UV lamps are inherently more stable than other types of lamps, including xenon arc lamps. The spectral power distribution (SPD) does not change with lamp aging, even up to 5,000 hours. This gives more reproducible test results, fewer lamp changes, and lower operational costs. Q-Lab produces more UV lamps than the rest of the weathering industry combined. Q-Lab's lamps are specially engineered to our own proprietary specifications, based on our 40 years of experience with fluorescent UV technology. We have the most stringent quality control testing in the industry. The result is that the QUV tester provides the most consistent, stable spectrum, year after year. Several different types of UV lamps are available for different applications, which are listed below. See LU-8160 - A Choice of Lamps for QUV and LU-0823 - QUV/cw Summary for more specific application guidelines UVA-340 Lamps The QUV tester’s UVA-340 lamps give the best simulation of sunlight in the critical short wavelength region from 365 nm down to the solar cut-off of 295 nm. See LU-8052 - SPD for QUV UVA-340. UVA-351 Lamps The QUV UV tester’s UVA-351 lamps simulate the UV portion of sunlight filtered through window glass. It is most useful for interior applications, for testing of some inks and for polymer damage that can occur in an environment near a window. See LU-8053 - SPD for QUV UVA-351. UVB-313 Lamps The QUV tester’s UVB-313 lamps maximize acceleration utilizing short-wave UV that is more severe than the UV normally found at the earth’s surface. Consequently, these lamps may produce unrealistically severe results for some materials. UVB-313 lamps are most useful for QC and R&D applications, or for testing very durable materials. See LU-8051 - SPD for QUV UVB-313EL. QFS-40 Lamps Also known as FS-40 or F40 UVB, this is the original QUV lamp. FS-40 lamps are still specified in a few legacy automotive test methods. QFS-40 lamps should only be used in the QUV/basic tester. See LU-8050 - SPD for QUV QFS-40. Cool White Lamps The QUV UV test chamber’s cool white lamps (used only in model QUV/cw) effectively reproduce and accelerate indoor lighting conditions encountered in office and commercial environments as well as retail display lighting. See LU-8049 - SPD for QUV/cw. Optical Filters Unlike xenon arc test chambers, the QUV tester does not require the use of any optical filters. Easy Calibration Assures Accuracy The QUV black panel temperature sensor needs to be calibrated periodically by the user to assure accurate and consistent results. Calibrating the QUV black panel temperature sensor is quick and simple, and is performed with any standard reference thermometer. Easy Calibration Assures Accuracy For all models except QUV/basic, the QUV SOLAR EYE irradiance sensor needs to be calibrated periodically by the user to assure accurate and consistent results. Calibrating the QUV tester using the AUTOCAL system is extremely simple. It takes only a few minutes and virtually eliminates human error. For more information, see LU-0801 - QUV Brochure. Calibration Radiometer Models - CR10 - for use with UVA-340, UVA-351, or UVB-313 lamps - CR10/cw radiometer - for use only with cool white lamps Recalibration The CR10 and CR10/cw radiometers need to be returned to Q-Lab once per year for an inexpensive recalibration. See LW-6008 - Recalibration Return Procedure. Our calibration labs are accredited to ISO 17025 by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA - Ohio Certificate Number 2382-01, China Certificate Number 2383-02, and England Certificate Number 2383-03). Calibrations are traceable to the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Versatile Specimen Mounting Standard specimen holders adjust for any thickness up to 20mm (3/4") and allow fast, snap-action specimen mounting. Retaining rings provide positive hold-down and do not require that test specimens be cut to close tolerance. In addition, custom holders are available for mounting various products, such as lenses, larger specimens, and 3-D components. Bottle holders, textile holders and special mountings are also available. See LU-8001 - QUV Sample Mounting or the specimen mounting page for more detailed information. Water Repurification System To significantly reduce the cost of running the QUV tester’s optional water spray system, Q-Lab offers an optional water repurification system that reuses the water that normally would go down the drain. Space Saver Frame In labs where space is a premium, QUV UV testers can be stacked two-high with space saver frames. See LU-0820 - QUV Space Saver Specifications for more detailed information.

Model QUV/basic QUV test cihazının basit versiyonu olan QUV/basic ekonominin önemli olduğu laboratuvarlar için idealdir. QUV/basic modeli floresan lambalar ve nem simülasyonu için ve bir yoğuşma sistemi kullanır. Bununla birlikte bu modelde SOLAR EYE ışık kontrolü yoktur. Bunun sonucu olarak ışık şiddeti ayarlanamaz ve kalibre edilemez. Bu da QUV/basic test cihazının yüksek ışık testleri için kullanılamayacak olması anlamına gelir. İlaveten, bu modelde periyodik olarak lamba yenilenmesi ve yer değiştirilmesi gerekmektedir.\ Q-Lab, QUV/basic test cihazını, test numuneleri ile kontrol numunelerinin aynı anda ve aynı test cihazında test edileceği karşılaştırmalı uygulamalar için tavsiye etmektedir. Model QUV/se UV ışık şiddetinin hassas temini için SOLAR EYE Işık Kontrolü özeliğine sahip en popüler QUV modelidir. QUV/se test cihazı dış mekân nem zararını simüle etmek için kendini kanıtlamış bir yoğuşma sistemi kullanmaktadır. SOLAR EYE sistemi, bir geri besleme döngüsüyle ışık şiddetini otomatik olarak koruyan hassas bir kontrol sistemidir. Kontrol ünitesi UV şiddetini izleyerek lamba yaşlanma ve değişkenliğini dengelemek için, lambalara beslediği gücü ayarlar. SOLAR EYE sistemi aşağıdakileri sağlamaktadır: - Kontrollü ışık - Daha uzun lamba ömrü - Daha hızlı sonuçlar - Daha fazla üretilebilir ve tekrarlanabilir test - ISO kalibrasyonu SOLAR EYE ışık kontrol sisteminin yararları hakkında daha fazla bilgi için lütfen LU-0801 - QUV Broşürü’ne bakınız. Model QUV/sprey QUV/sprey test cihazı, standart QUV/se ile aynı özellikle sahip olup ek olarak test cihazında bir de su sprey sistemi yer almaktadır. Spreyin kısa periyotlarla kullanılması termal şok oluşumu sağlar. Uzun periyotlar ise mekanik erozyon oluşumu için kullanılmaktadır. QUV/sprey test cihazında aşağıdakiler uygulanabilir: yalnızca UV, yanlıca sprey ya da yoğuşma. Tüm sprey uygulamaları için deiyonize edilmemiş su kullanılması tavsiye edilmektedir. Model QUV/cw Bazı endüstri test metotları, iç mekân fotostabilite testleri için cool white (beyaz) floresan lambaların kullanılmasını belirtmektedir. Bu iç mekân aydınlatma koşullarını oluşturmak için QUV/cw normal cool white floresan lambalar kullanmaktadır. QUV/cw’da mevcut olan SOLAR EYE ışık kontrol sistemi UV’den ziyade görülebilir ışık çıkışını izleyip, kontrol etmektedir. Daha fazla bilgi için lütfen LU-0823 - QUV/cw Özet sayfasına bakınız. Sıcaklık Kontrolü QUV test cihazlarının tümü, doğruluğu arttırmak ve test sonuçlarını hızlandırmak için sıcaklığı dikkatli şekilde kontrol ederler. Normalde sıcaklığın birincil fotokimyasal reaksiyonu etkilememesine rağmen, sonraki reaksiyonların hızına etki etmektedir. Bu nedenle, QUV test cihazının sıcaklık kontrol etme yeteneği UV testleri sırasında çok önemlidir. Çok Çeşitli Numune Yerleşimi Standard numune tutucular 20mm’ye (3/4") kadar herhangi bir kalınlıkta ayarlanabilir ve hızlı, anlık şekilde numune yerleşimini sağlar. Tutucu halkalar basılı tutma işlemini yerine getirir ve test numunelerinin mutlaka aynı ebatlarda kesilmesini gerektirmez.
