Xenotest 440 has an additional xenon lamp for a higher irradiation intensity and allows material testing according to standards like AATCC TM 16, TM 169 as well as ISO 105-B02, -B04 and -B10. The innovative control technology XenoLogic ensures uniform application and an extended lamp service life, thus reducing operating and maintenance costs. The water-saving ultrasonic humidification system distributes moisture optimally across the large test area with a size of 2,310 cubic centimeters.

The Ci3000+ Weather-Ometer has a 4,500 watt xenon arc lamp to comply with relevant textile testing standards such as ASTM D4355. It delivers a high test output with up to 60 textile sample positions.
