Smrithi is Q-Lab's Global Customer Education Specialist, based at our headquarters in Westlake, Ohio, USA.
He has been with Q-Lab for over 15 years and has in-depth knowledge of all Q-Lab products and services.
Smrithi regularly gives presentations to audiences of all levels about lightfastness, weathering, and corrosion all over the world.
QUV: 1 or 2 Hours
Q-SUN Xe-1, Xe-2, or Xe-3: 1.5 or 3 hours
Q-FOG CCT/SSP: 1 or 2 hours
Q-FOG CRH: 1.5 or 3 hours

Q-Lab will inspect the installation of the tester to ensure that the requirements for the tester are met. This inspection will review the conditions of the room that the tester is placed in, verify that proper utilities are provided, and that the tester is set up in a proper manner. Passing the tester commissioning will extend the warranty of a new tester by an additional year.
1, 2, 4, or 8 hours
We'll provide basic training on the science of weathering. This presentation will cover what weathering is, what factors are important to weathering, architectures used for outdoor and accelerated weathering testing, and howto put together an effective weathering program.
1, 2, 4, or 8 hours
We'll provide basic training on the science of atmospheric corrosion. This presentation will cover what corrosion is, explain the mechanisms behind atmospheric corrosion, cover the history and development of key accelerated corrosion standards, and provide guidance on how to establish an effective accelerated corrosion testing program.
