AATCC 16-2003 tester models and their published ranges

The Light Fastness Tester models TNG1032 and TNG1036 are both suitable for testing in accordance with AATCC 16-2003, offering comparable specifications that support the required conditions for light fastness evaluation.

Instrument Specifications and Compliance with AATCC 16-2003

Both TNG1032 and TNG1036 are designed for Colour Fastness Testing and are fully aligned with the AATCC 16-2003 standard. The irradiance range of 0.80 to 1.50W/m² at 420nm ensures that the light exposure levels are consistent with the standard’s requirements for simulating natural sunlight. The irradiance accuracy of ±0.02W/m² at 420nm further supports precise and repeatable testing, which is essential for meeting the standard's specifications. These parameters ensure that the light exposure is controlled and measurable, aligning with the standard's emphasis on quantitative indicators for light fastness.

Sample Holder Compatibility and Testing Flexibility

The sample holders for both models are designed to accommodate different sample sizes, with ISO/GB 16 Pcs supporting samples of 175 x 45mm and AATCC 8 Pcs for 175 x 75mm. This flexibility is crucial for testing materials that conform to various international standards, including AATCC 16-2003. The ability to use different sample holders ensures that the testing process can be adapted to the specific requirements of the material being tested, enhancing the accuracy and relevance of the results.

Environmental Control and Temperature Range

Both instruments feature a temperature range of 25 to 50°C with a resolution of 0.1°C, which is in line with the environmental conditions specified in AATCC 16-2003. This precise temperature control is vital for simulating real-world exposure conditions and ensuring that the test results are reliable and consistent. The temperature resolution allows for fine-tuning of the testing environment, which is necessary for achieving the standard's required accuracy in light fastness evaluation.

Conclusion

The TNG1032 and TNG1036 Light Fastness Testers provide the necessary specifications to support testing in accordance with AATCC 16-2003. Their irradiance control, sample holder flexibility, and environmental precision ensure that the testing process meets the standard’s requirements for accurate and repeatable light fastness evaluation. Both models are suitable for use in laboratories that require reliable and standardized testing procedures for colour fastness.
