Building materials

List of equipment for testing of building materials.
  • Accelerated laboratory testing in Germany

    Elastocon offers a full range of contract laboratory testing services in Q-Lab's fully-equipped laboratories in Germany,for those who are interested in accelerated weathering, light stability, and corrosion testing but are not yet ready to purchase QUV, Q-SUN, or Q-FOG test equipment.

  • Accelerated weathering tester QUV

    The QUV accelerated weathering tester reproduces the damage caused by sunlight, rain and dew. In a few days or weeks, the QUV UV tester can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.

  • Arizona outdoor exposure testing

    Elastocon mediates Q-Lab's outdoor testing of products and materials in desert climate in Arizona. Q-Lab Arizona ranks among the largest desert exposure facilities in the world.

  • CNC milling machine, FPA‑20

    The FPA-20 is a 3-axis vertical tabletop milling machine for the production of precision specimens of rigid materials such as plastics, aluminium and composites, for subsequent tensile, bending, tearing, shearing and impact tests.

  • Falling weight tester

    Easy operating falling weight tester for window profiles, frames, pipes, etc, according to RAL 716-1 and others.

  • Florida outdoor exposure testing

    Elastocon mediates Q-Lab's services for outdoor exposure testing of materials and products in Florida. Q-Lab Florida has more specimens on test than any other outdoor weathering facility in the world.

  • Gloss meter CS-380

    The gloss meter CS-380 is an affordable, hand-held instrument, which is mainly used for measuring the gloss of surfaces of paint, plastic, metal, ceramics, building materials and and so on. CS-380 has three measuring angles (20°, 60° and 85°) and complies with ISO 2813, among other standards.

  • Handheld XRF Analyzer, S1 Titan

    The S1 Titan is a lightweight and rugged handheld XRF analyzer designed to quickly report the elemental composition of a sample, using X-ray radiation.

  • Hardness tester for ball indentation and Rockwell, 3106

    Hardness tester 3106 for ball indentation and Rockwell is a modular hardness tester for plastic, metal and building materials etc.

  • Light booth for visual colour control, MiniMatcher series

    GTI MiniMatchers help you to evaluate and communicate colour with confidence. They are ideal for the viewing of coatings, textiles, packaging, cosmetics, and more.

  • Low cost replacement lamps and filters for Atlas Weather-Ometer testers

    Q-Lab offers water-cooled replacement lamps and optical filters for use in Atlas Weather-Ometer® models Ci35, Ci35A, Ci65, Ci65A, Ci4000, Ci5000, and SUNTEST CPS and CPS+.

  • Outdoor exposure racks, Q-RACK

    Q-RACK outdoor exposure racks are the same aluminum racks that are used at Q-Lab Florida and Q-Lab Arizona to perform natural outdoor exposure tests. Now you can buy these professional quality racks to perform exposures at your own site.

  • Spectrophotometer HADS-660

    The portable spectrophotometer HADS-660 is an affordable, hand-held instrument with excellent repeatability accuracy. With this portable spectrophotometer you can capture colour data on a variety of surfaces, such as paint, textile, plastic, food, building materials and other types of materials or products.

  • Thermal shock environmental test chambers

    The SCAL range of thermal shocks environmental test chambers are designed and developed by Climats to meet the strictest test standards with extreme thermal conditions from -90 °C to +220 °C.

  • Ultraviolet fluorescent lamps for QUV

    Q-Lab supplies the highest quality UV fluorescent lamps available. The technology behind the lamps produces a spectrum that is inherently stable throughout their use.

  • Universal calibrator system

    The universal calibrator system (UC) is a revolutionary, handheld device for calibrating temperature and irradiance across all Q-Lab weathering chambers. It utilizes inexpensive, modular, and disposable “smart sensors” to simplify calibrations and dramatically lower operating costs over competing approaches.

  • Xenon arc lamps for Q‑SUN

    The Q-SUN testers’ xenon arc lamps produce the most realistic reproduction of full spectrum sunlight including ultraviolet, visible light and infrared radiation. For many materials, exposure to the full spectrum is necessary to provide an accurate simulation, especially when testing for color change and lightfastness.

  • Xenon arc weathering tester with large capacity, Q-SUN Xe-8

    The Q-SUN Xe-8 is the NEW standard in large capacity, rotating rack xenon arc weathering testers. In addition to its unmatched technical capabilities, the Q-SUN Xe-8 tester offers greater capacity, lower price, and significantly longer lamp life – about 8000 hours at normal irradiance – than leading competitors, which all results in low operating costs.

  • Xenon test chamber Q‑SUN Xe‑1

    The Q-SUN Xe-1 tester is a tabletop lightfastness, colorfastness, and photostability chamber. It has a single xenon arc lamp and is available with optional water spray and chiller. Its small scale is perfect for a lab with a limited budget or only an occasional need for testing. Installation of the Xe-1 tester is simple and specimens can be conveniently mounted horizontally on its flat specimen tray.

  • Xenon test chamber Q‑SUN Xe‑2

    The Q-SUN Xe-2 rotating rack xenon arc chamber is a full featured weathering and lightfastness chamber at a breakthrough price. It provides precise control of critical test parameters including spectrum, irradiance, relative humidity, chamber temperature and black panel/black standard temperature. Water spray is also an available option.

  • Xenon test chamber Q‑SUN Xe‑3

    The Q-SUN Xe-3 tester is a full-featured lightfastness, colorfastness, and photostability chamber at a breakthrough price. It utilizes three separate xenon lamps for a large capacity. The Q-SUN Xe-3 tester’s slide out specimen tray is 451 mm × 718 mm and is useful for exposing large, three-dimensional parts or components. The Xe-3 tester offers standard humidity control, and optional spray, back spray and chiller features.
