Abstract

See full text

Material samples may be tested for weathering by a method which comprises securing the samples to a rack which rotates about a central radiation source, and exposing the samples to irradiation from the source at a first intensity of at least about 1.5 SUNS, while rotating the rack at a rate of at least about 6 rpm. Alternatively, a lower radiation intensity may be provided from the same apparatus, using a lower rotation rate. The method may also comprise a step of varying the inductance of a circuit supplying power to the central radiation source as one changes the intensity of the irradiation, to enhance the constancy of spectral distribution of the irradiation at the different intensities.
