Atlas Material Testing Technology recently announced that its Ci series Weather-Ometers meet the recently published test method ASTM D 7869-13 Standard Practice for Xenon Arc Exposure Test with Enhanced Light and Water Exposure for Transportation Coatings. For over 20 years, SAE J1960 (and the performance-based equivalent, SAE J2527) has been the most popular test method used for testing automotive exterior materials. First developed by General Motors in the mid-1980s, the test method was soon adopted by several other automotive OEMs, especially in the U.S. and Japan.
