DR-302 Fabric UV Aging Test Chamber
Expose textile fabrics, coated fabrics, synthetic leather and related nonmetallic materials to programmable fluorescent UVA light, heat, condensation and water spray. The chamber helps laboratories compare color change, strength retention, surface deterioration and weathering durability after controlled accelerated exposure.
8 × 40 W UVA lamps
UV / condensation / spray cycles
Up to 48 textile specimens
What This Fabric UV Chamber Measures
Fluorescent UV exposure is an accelerated conditioning step. After exposure, textile properties are measured using the applicable evaluation method. The chamber does not directly calculate every durability result.
Color and Appearance
Compare fading, yellowing, shade change, chalking, cracking or coating deterioration before and after exposure.
Mechanical Retention
Measure tensile, tear, abrasion or adhesion retention with separate instruments after the programmed weathering cycle.
Moisture Durability
Use condensation and optional water spray to evaluate how repeated UV and moisture affect coated or outdoor textiles.
UPF is a different measurement: ASTM D6544, AATCC TM183, ASTM D6603 and EN 13758 address UV transmission, preparation, labeling or classification of UV-protective textiles. A spectrophotometer or UV-transmittance instrument is normally required to calculate UPF. The DR-302 can age the fabric before that measurement, but it does not replace the UPF instrument.

How to Build a Useful Fabric UV Test
Define the Failure Mode
Decide whether the goal is color change, strength loss, coating cracking, adhesion loss, water repellency or UPF retention.
Select the Cycle
Specify lamp type, irradiance, black-panel/chamber temperature, exposure duration, condensation and spray phases.
Measure Before and After
Condition specimens consistently and use the correct color, tensile, tear, microscopy, adhesion or UV-transmission method.

الأسئلة المتكررة
What does a fabric UV aging chamber evaluate?
It conditions textiles under fluorescent UV, heat and moisture. Separate instruments then measure changes such as fading, yellowing, strength loss, cracking, adhesion or water-repellency loss.
Can this chamber measure UPF directly?
No. UPF requires spectral UV-transmittance measurements and the applicable calculation method. The chamber can age the textile before measuring whether UPF has changed.
What lamp type does the DR-302 use?
The live page specifies eight 40 W Atlas UVA lamps covering a published 315–400 nm range. Confirm the exact lamp designation, such as UVA-340, on the quotation.
Can UVB lamps be installed?
