  • How to achieve good correlation?

    How to achieve good correlation?

    Correlation to real world performance is one of the key targets of accelerated weathering testing. The tester expects the same ageing behavior and the same ranking of polymer and coating performance as under natural conditions. This is not always the case.
    This seminar addresses some basic approaches and measures which can help to achieve good correlation.
    This “How to” webinar is part of a series of short, maximum 30-minute-long webinars dedicated to a specific topic or application.

  • Date & Time: 02 September 2026 - 14:00 UTC; 16:00 CEST (Berlin); 9:00 am CDT (Chicago); 7:00 am PDT (Seattle)

  • Grundlagen der Bewitterung I

    Grundlagen der Bewitterung I

    Das Grundlagenseminar Bewitterung I befasst sich mit Prüftechniken zur Bestimmung der Licht- und Wetterbeständigkeit von Materialien aller Art. Das Seminar zeigt, wie verschiedene Faktoren des Wetters/Klimas, wie z.B. Sonnenstrahlung, Wärme und Feuchte sich auf ein Material auswirken können, und wie man die Widerstandsfähigkeit von Ausgangsmaterialien oder fertigen Endprodukten gegen diese Einflüsse prüfen kann. Die häufigsten natürlichen und künstlichen Prüfanwendungen werden besprochen. Die Kursteilnehmer lernen die gängigsten Prüfmethoden und Normen kennen (DIN, ISO, SAE, ASTM etc.). Praktische Beispiele zur Korrelation und Beschleunigung sowie die Freibewitterung mit ihren vielfältigen klimatischen Bedingungen werden erörtert.
