Sunlight and moisture cause millions of dollars of material damage every year. The QUV® accelerated weathering tester tests materials by exposing them to alternating cycles of UV light and moisture at controlled, elevated temperatures. In a few days or weeks, the QUV tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors. With thousands of testers in service worldwide, the QUV tester is the world's most widely used weathering tester.
QUV testers are available in four different models: QUV/basic, QUV/se, QUV/spray, and QUV/cw. Each air-cooled tester featured Q-Lab's renowned reliability and ease of maintenance. All testers have standard datalogging via ethernet and/or USB, a variety of standard sample holders, automatic fault recognition and alarms, automatic shut-down timer, and a remarkably simple user interface available in five languages.
