Cabinet Xenon Test Chamber

Cabinet Xenon Test Chamber – BGD 867

The BGD 867 is a versatile Cabinet Xenon Test Chamber designed for advanced material testing. Equipped with three xenon lamps imported from the USA, it allows users to select from daylight, window glass, or extended UV filters, ensuring compliance with international testing standards. With a capacity to hold 25 samples, the chamber integrates both spray and humidity control functions, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

Operators can easily set test parameters such as irradiance, test time, and black panel temperature (BPT) through the intuitive touch screen interface. Real-time monitoring keeps users informed of the running status, while a USB interface enables quick data export to a computer for further analysis.
