ASTM G155

Products for outdoor use are produced by almost all industries. Outdoor furniture, playground equipment, siding and roofing materials, cars, and all of these things spend a lot of time enduring the elements and the sun’s damaging rays. You must be certain that the materials you use for design and production will stand up to wear and time before you start.

To move on with your design or modify your products as necessary, ASTM G155 was developed to assist you in determining how your materials would respond to weathering. However, for the procedure to be successful, you must collaborate with a lab that understands how to manage every aspect of the test to provide you with the most precise findings possible. This know-how is provided by Infinita Labs. For more than 30 years in business, we have developed into a leader in weathering testing, and we use this knowledge in everything we do.

What Does Xenon Arc Exposure Testing Per ASTM G155 Mean?

The best techniques for xenon arc testing are outlined in ASTM G155. This weathering test is best carried out on non-metallic materials designed for outdoor, bright-light usage. It is comparable to ASTM G154, a common form of weathering test. The G155 test uses xenon arc lamps as opposed to the G154 test, which simulates outdoor weather with fluorescent lights.

To create light, xenon arc lamps use electricity to ionise xenon gas. These lamps are renowned for being able to reproduce the whole spectrum of sunlight. The ASTM G155 test, which simulates sunlight as closely as possible using xenon lamps, is the better option for outdoor products.

The G155 standard doesn’t outline a single method for testing a material. The xenon arc exposure technique, however, often entails repeatedly cycling through light and moisture cycles in a regulated artificial environment.
