An Ozone Tester in Africa is used to evaluate how rubber and elastomer products resist cracking when exposed to controlled ozone concentration and temperature. Also called an ozone chamber or ozone test chamber, this equipment accelerates ozone aging so labs can compare compounds, validate anti-ozonant protection, and confirm product durability before release.
Qualitest supplies ozone chambers for laboratories and manufacturers across Africa, with configuration options to match rubber, cable, automotive, and industrial QA requirements.
What an Ozone Chamber Tests
Ozone exposure can trigger surface cracking in stressed rubber. An ozone test chamber reproduces this effect in a sealed, light-free environment while controlling:
After exposure, operators inspect specimens for cracks and changes in material condition to judge ozone resistance.
Common Applications in Africa
Ozone testing is widely used for product qualification, incoming inspection, and compound development across:
Rubber goods: seals, gaskets, hoses, belts, O-rings, molded parts
Wire and cable: insulation and jacketing materials, cable bushings, accessories
Automotive and transport: elastomer components exposed to heat and air
Packaging and industrial materials: polymer components where cracking risk matters
Universities and research labs: formulation and aging studies
Standards
This ozone chamber conforms to international standards including:
ASTM D1149
ASTM D1171
ISO 1431
DIN 53509
JIS K 6259
GB/T 13642
GB/T 7762-2003
GB 2951
IEC 60811-2-1
Note on IEC 60811-2-1: this standard may require humidity control in addition to ozone and temperature control. Humidity control is typically an optional add-on (humidification and dehumidification system plus related components). Specify this requirement during ordering.
How to Specify the Right Configuration
When building an Ozone Tester in Africa quote, these details help match the chamber to your test plan:
Standard(s) required (ASTM/ISO/IEC)
Humidity control required or not (IEC 60811-2-1 often drives this)
Typical specimen type and size (rubber strips, cable jackets, molded parts)
Target ozone concentration range and test temperature
Local power requirement (50/60 Hz, voltage) and installation environment
For pricing and lead time on an Ozone Tester in Africa, share your target standard(s), humidity requirement, and local power spec. Qualitest can recommend the right configuration and provide a quotation for your lab or production QA team.
