QSUN Xenon Arc: Oil & Gas Weather Testing

Aesthetics is not a major concern on pipeline coatings but the integrity of the coating is. Breaking down of the protective coatings due to solar radiation exposes the pipelines to oxidation and puts the payload at risk. 

Reducing maintenance costs and prevent any loss of payload are high priorities for the oil and gas industries, accelerated weathering of protective coatings that will be exposed to the sun's rays will give answers before real word application. This allows the best protective coating to be selected, extending the life of your maintenance schedule.

We have both UV and xenon arc chambers with automated cycles to expose samples to various light sources and intensities with cycles including humidity and water spray.
