We Make Corrosion Testing Simple
Cyclic corrosion testing provides the best laboratory simulation of natural atmospheric corrosion.
In just a few days or weeks, Q-Lab’s line of Q-FOG® test chambers can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.
We Make Weathering Testing Simple
QUV® fluorescent UV and Q-SUN® xenon arc weathering test chambers simulate and accelerate the three main forces of weathering: sunlight, heat, and moisture.
In just a few days or weeks, they can reproduce the damage that occurs over months or years outdoors.
The Most Trusted Name in Weathering and Corrosion
Q-Lab is the world leader for affordable, reliable, and easy-to-use weathering, lightfastness, and corrosion test equipment and test services.

At Q-Lab, We Make Testing Simple.
Why Should I Test?
Accelerated laboratory and outdoor weathering and corrosion testing are not used only to improve product durability. Testing is also a invaluable tool for quality control, research and development, cost reduction, warranty support, and product certification.
Considering all the benefits of testing, the better question is, can you really afford not to test?
Weathering Testing
A weathering test program doesn’t have to be expensive or take years to achieve meaningful results. Accelerated laboratory testing, combined with outdoor exposures, can deliver critical information that helps you make better decisions, in a matter of weeks or months.
Corrosion Testing
Corrosion causes billions of dollars in product and infrastructure damage every year. Laboratory cyclic corrosion testing is the foundation of any program to evaluate and improve the performance of products subjected to natural atmospheric corrosive environments.
Q-PANEL Steel Panels
Q-PANEL® steel test substrates minimize metal variability as a source of bias in critical tests. Made from standard low-carbon, cold-rolled steel, they are clean, consistent, convenient, and cost-effective.
A wide range of panel sizes and types are available for immediate shipment from stock. Panels are stored completely clean and typically can be used right out of the box.
