  Video Tutorials for Weathering Instruments

  February 8, 2023 | Andreas Riedl

  Education

  We live in an animated world. Before we consult phone book-sized manuals, we search the internet for video clips that answer our questions. Atlas Video Tutorials address this need for laboratory weathering instruments.

  How Long do I Need to Test? Part 2: Estimations Based on Radiant Exposure

  February 23, 2022 | Dr. Oliver D Rahaeuser

  Education

  In an earlier post, we discussed the question by differentiating between three different test approaches or “why?” we run weathering tests. In this post, we will discuss the pros & cons of using radiant exposure as the basis for determining test duration.

  How Long do I Need to Test? Part 1: Basic Considerations

  February 3, 2022 | Dr. Oliver D Rahaeuser

  Education

  The question about the right test duration is an important question because time especially during product development is valuable. The best approach to answer this question is first to identify the motivation, why we are going to run a weathering test. In my experience, most weathering tests can be split into three different categories:

  The Principle of Reciprocity – Its Value as a Tool in Weathering

  January 24, 2022 | Oscar Cordo

  Education

  In our niche weathering industry, there are some who believe that reciprocity is a misguided notion. Well, the principle of reciprocity is a valid scientific premise, that when observed, allows researchers to reduce test times by increasing the irradiance of the accelerated weathering test method used. If one wishes to reduce their test time, testing if reciprocity is observed must be performed before making predictions about test duration at higher irradiances.
