ACCELERATED LIFE TESTING

Fluorescent UV Testing/Condensation Cabinet – ASTM G 154 (Formerly ASTM G 53)

The ASTM G 154 cabinet is similar to the Cleveland Condensing Cabinet but is also equipped with an array of fluorescent lamps with emissions in the UV range. Painted or coated panels are alternately exposed to ultraviolet light, condensation, and dry periods in a repetitive cycle.

ASTM G 154 is technically similar to ISO 4892-3 and ISO DIS 11507.
