US Webinar - Black Panel Selection
Join us for this live online discussion of black panel temperature control in accelerated weathering testing on Tuesday, 29 July at 8 am EDT or 11 am EDT.
Control of temperature is required in practically every accelerated laboratory weathering test, including fluorescent UV and xenon arc testing. Nearly every test protocol includes a setpoint for a black surface thermometer, often referred to as a black panel, but often without providing guidance as to the reasoning behind the specification.
In a brand-new free webinar, Q-Lab's technical team explains the different types of black surface thermometers and provides recommendations for how to select the right type of temperature control for your testing application. This presentation will cover:
- Types of black surface thermometer and the sometimes-confusing terminology that define them
- Relationship between black panel, chamber air, and specimen temperatures
- Why to choose an insulated black panel for testing insulating or three-dimensional specimens in a QUV
- How to select the right black surface thermometer type for a xenon arc chamber, depending on your material
- Effects that temperature transition times can have on test results
This webinar will be presented in English.
