    How to calculate test durations?

    How long should I run a test in a Weather-O-meter to simulate one year Florida? Or: How long should I test to achieve 6 GJ/m²? We receive these types of questions every day. This seminar explains how test durations can be calculated for the most common test methods like ISO 4892-2, SAE J2527 and ASTM D7869, but also the limitations of some of these calculations.

  • How to Achieve Acceleration in Weathering

    How to Achieve Acceleration in Weathering

    Over time, materials and products are affected by weather, leading to undesired changes in appearance and function, ultimately resulting in product failure. Accelerated weathering tests aim to determine the product's lifespan in a shorter period by compressing or intensifying the impact of weather factors on the samples.

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.

    Bewitterung II
    8:30 bis 16:15 Uhr
    Aufbauend auf Teil I, der die Prüftechnik behandelt, befasst sich Bewitterung II intensiv mit der Wirkung der Wetterfaktoren auf polymere Werkstoffe. Das Seminar gibt Aufschluss über die messtechnische Erfassung der Wetterfaktoren und behandelt die Strahlungs- und Temperaturmesstechnik als kritische Faktoren. Die Planung und Durchführung von Bewitterungsversuchen unter Verwendung von Referenzmaterialien bilden einen weiteren Schwerpunkt des Seminars. Die statistische Auswertung von Bewitterungsstudien sowie eine Diskussion der Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Beschleunigung, runden das Programm des zweiten Tages ab.

  • FOW I & II

    FOW I & II

    Fundamentals of Weathering I Seminar (Day 1 will be presented in Dutch) This seminar emphasizes lightfastness and weathering durability testing techniques. These techniques include natural and accelerated outdoor exposure testing as well as laboratory accelerated methods and instruments. The seminar will introduce the basics of how various factors of weather and climate, such as solar radiation, heat and moisture, may affect materials and how to test the resistance of a formulation or product to them. Special attention is given to the testing techniques of paints and protective coatings, automotive materials, architectural building products and molded plastic materials. Textile and fiber lightfastness and weatherability are also discussed. Fundamentals of Weathering II Seminar (Day 2 will be presented in English) This seminar examines in greater detail how various factors of weather and climate, such as solar radiation, heat and moisture, may affect materials and how to test the resistance of a formulation or product to them. Topics of discussion will also include basic concepts of UV stabilization. An important part of this seminar is also focused on correlation: How can correlation be described and how can it be optimized in accelerated testing. Methods of acceleration are compared. This seminar will help to understand and optimize weathering testing.
