Testing Services now available, we have the following complement of instruments:
Rates as low as $0.05 per sample hour including full delimited data
Weathering, Fading, and Lightfastness Testing
Quality Testing is the only service we provide, correct and verified exposure to your standard is our only priority.
Please note: You must provide a copy of the standard you wish to run. Each test is reviewed to verify our instruments are capable of operating at the conditions required by the standard over the period of time required. Difficult to achieve standards may require more frequent than usual replacement of lamps and filters and will incur additional charges. Exposure conditions deemed not fit for "accredited" status will not be quoted as "accredited." We will, however, run the instrument as you request with our concerns noted on the exposure request form. With each test you will receive a complete listing of all button, switch, and set point settings used for your exposure.
Some standards listed include testing we are not accredited for or have the instruments to run. In each case we can run the weathering, fading, or lightfastness section of the standards referenced.
We can provide A2LA accredited, ISO/IEC-17025 (2005) testing in the Atlas ® Carbon Arcs to any standard (including your own custom or internal standards) requiring parameters in the ranges our instruments are capable of including but not limited to the following standards:
Sunshine Carbon Arc Testing: (we have the Atlas ® Arc Lamp, some manufacturer tests specify others but the lamps are generally considered interchangeable.) The Atlas Sunshine Carbon Arc uses p/n 12696600 #15 Copper Clad Electrodes and p/n 12696701 #22 Copper Clad Electrodes. Corex-D Filter Glass is most common for these tests.
