Ozone Aging Test Chamber: Principles, Parameters, and Usage Guidelines
The ozone aging test chamber is designed specifically to simulate and test the aging performance of materials in an ozone environment. Widely used in the research, production, and quality control of polymer materials such as rubber, plastic, and coatings. This article provides a detailed overview of the ozone aging test chamber’s basic principles, technical parameters, usage methods, and precautions.
Basic Principles:
The ozone aging test chamber utilizes the oxidative action of ozone to simulate the environmental factors such as ozone concentration and temperature that materials face during actual usage. This accelerates the aging process of materials, allowing for the prediction of future performance changes.
The ozone aging test chamber typically consists of several core components:
• Chamber: The main body of the test chamber, used to accommodate samples and ozone generators.
• Ozone Generator: Produces specific concentrations of ozone.
• Temperature Control System: Regulates the temperature inside the test chamber to ensure test accuracy.
• Humidity Control System: Controls the humidity inside the test chamber to simulate various environmental conditions.
• Sample Rack: Supports the samples and is usually adjustable in height and angle.
Important technical parameters of the ozone aging test chamber include:
• Airflow Rate: Determines the oxygen concentration inside the test chamber.
• Temperature: Reflects the temperature environment in actual usage.
• Humidity: Reflects the humidity environment in actual usage.
• Power Voltage: Affects the stability and lifespan of the equipment.

Usage Guidelines–Follow these steps when using the ozone aging test chamber:
• Power on the equipment, turn on the device switch, and carefully check if all parts are functioning properly.
• Place the samples to be tested inside the chamber and adjust the position and angle of the sample rack to ensure exposure to ozone.
• Set the temperature, humidity, ozone concentration, and other parameters as required, and initiate the test.
• Observe the aging condition of the samples, regularly record relevant data including aging time and appearance changes.
• After the test, turn off the equipment, remove the samples for subsequent analysis to assess the degree of aging and performance changes.
Safety Precautions–When using the ozone aging test chamber, observe the following precautions:
• Do not open the chamber arbitrarily during equipment operation to prevent accidents.
• Regularly inspect the equipment’s operating status during the test; if any abnormalities are found, stop the test immediately for maintenance.
• Clean the interior of the equipment promptly after the test to maintain cleanliness and hygiene.
• Perform regular maintenance on the equipment to ensure normal operation and prolong its lifespan.
Conclusion:
The ozone aging test chamber is a crucial equipment in material aging testing, capable of simulating and testing material aging performance in ozone environments efficiently. It provides essential reference for the research, production, and quality control of materials. Proper attention to equipment operation and safety ensures its effective and safe usage.

What are the differences of FMVSS 302, UL94 and IEC60695 for flammability test?

Image
The flammability of different materials, such as plastics and other materials used in items such as automobile interiors, electronic devices, and electrical appliances, is evaluated using a number of different standards. Some of these standards are FMVSS 302, UL 94, and IEC 60695. Nevertheless, there are a number of important distinctions between these standards: FMVSS 302 is a specialized standard that was designed for the automotive industry to analyze the flammability of materials used in car interiors. Its purpose is to measure the combustibility of these materials. The UL 94 standard is a more comprehensive regulation that assesses the combustibility of a variety of materials, including plastics, and has applications in a number of different sectors. IEC 60695 is a global standard that is used in the process of assessing the potential for electronic and electrical equipment to catch fire. Testing Procedures The flammability of materials is determined using a variety of testing

Accessible parts of equipment with standard IEC 62368 General An accessible part of an equipment is a part that can be touched by a body part. For the purposes of dctermining an accessible part, a body part is represented by one or more of the specified test probes. Accessible parts of an equipment can include parts behind a door, panel, removable cover, etc. that can be opened without the use of a tool. Accessible parts do not include those that become accessible when floor standing equipment having a mass exceeding 40 kg is tilted. For equipment intended for building-in or rack-mounting, or for subassemblies and the like for incorporation in larger equipment,accessible parts do not include those that are not accessible when the equipment or subassembly is installed according to the method of mounting or installation specified in the installation instructions. A part is considered accessible if the instructions or markings intended to be followed require that a person phys

125 Grounding Contact Test 125.1 Grounding receptacles having a 5-15R,5-20R，6-13R，6-20R，7-15R，14-15Ror 15-15R configuration are to be subjected to the tests in this section. 125.2 Previously untested devices are to be used. Each device is to be mounted in a flush device box, or as otherwise intended, with its face in a vertical plane. A nonmetallic faceplate is to be installed if intended. A solid 14 AWG (2.1 mm2) copper conductor is to be connected to the receptacle grounding terminal. GNGPL SB1610_AL 125.3 With the receptacle oriented to create the maximum contact displacement (possible distortion of contact affecting its contact ability), the test pin A. Figure 125.1 is to be fully inserted in the grounding contact. A 5 lb (2.27 kg) weight is to be gradually suspended form the test pin 6 inches (152 mm) from the face of the receptacle. The weight is to be applied for 1 minute, following which, the weight is to be removed. The application of the weight is to be repeated with the rece
