Ci3000+ Weather-Ometer

The Weather-Ometer and Fade-Ometer Ci3000+, with their advanced digital controls, represent a monumental achievement in the application of digital and optical technologies in easy-to-use laboratory weather instruments. The 3000 Series is supported by many OEMs in the textile, paint and coatings, and plastics industries as the exclusive platform for providing accurate, reproducible, and repeatable results for durability prediction. The 3000 Series has been certified to CE, UL, CSA, ISO, and EN standards. Key features of this instrument include: a rotating sample rack to maximize uniformity of all samples; specially designed nozzles to ensure uniform spray distribution of samples and racks; an ASTM Black Panel or ISO/DIN Black Standard Thermometer to control and monitor temperature at the sample level to ensure test repeatability.
