    Accelerated Aging Parameters

    Uploaded by

    Perico Palotus
    This document provides an accelerated aging table that correlates elevated temperatures to time equivalents for 1 to 5 years of aging at ambient temperature. The table is based on Arrhenius' work showing reaction rates double with every 10°C increase in temperature. It assumes an ambient temperature of 25°C and a doubling rate (Q10) of 2, meaning reactions double every 10°C. A formula is also provided to calculate aging factors for temperatures other than those listed in the table.

    To calculate an aging factor with a value other than the values presented in the table, employ the following formula:

    (52 weeks/year)/(Q10T) = Number of weeks equal to one year

    Where: T = Aging Factor = Number of Degrees above Ambient/10


    Q10 = Reaction Doubling Rate (usually from 1.6 to 2.0)

    This table is based on the published work of Arrhenius. Arrhenius stated that the reaction rate approximately
    doubled from every 8-10°C increase in temperature. It seems to us, conservative to use a doubling rate of 2.0
    for a 10°C increase in temperature if many reactions double at 8°C. Published studies which compare on-the-shelf
    with accelerated aging data have normally indicated that accelerated aging data is not just more stringent, but greatly so.
