UV radiation chamber ECE R43

Used for:

Resistance to radiation test: The purpose of this test is to determine whether the light transmittance of laminated-glass panes, glass-plastics glazing or glass glazing faced with plastics material when exposed to radiation over an extended period of time is significantly reduced thereby or whether the glazing is significantly discoloured.

Conforms to:

ECE R43 Annex 3 paragraph 6.1 and EN 12543-4 Method B

Principle of operation:

It is an apparatus containing a radiation source of medium-pressure mercury-vapor arc lamp with a tubular quartz bulb of ozone-free type. The bulb axis is vertical. There is a circular sample rack, enabling the rotation of the glass samples around the radiation source to ensure even exposure.

Technical characteristics:

• Medium-pressure mercury-vapor arc lamp with a tubular quartz bulb of ozone-free type.
• Connected power 3000 W
• Lamp starting voltage 1100 V
• Lamp operating power: 750±50W
• Lamp operating voltage 500±50 volts
