Description
[Atlas Electric Devices, Chicago] A registered trademark for a controlled environment chamber used to test the durability of materials. Weather-Ometer® chambers expose a material to short periods of severe, but controlled, environments to induce accelerated deterioration. The experimental conditions may include intense light, high heat, wet-dry cycles, freeze-thaw cycles, pollutant exposure or combinations thereof. Selected parameters (fading, loss of adhesion, corrosion, chemical composition, etc.) are periodically monitored as the experiment progresses. Once deterioration is induced and measured, it can be correlated to the deleterious conditions and plotted as a function of the exposure time.
