Water Ingress Testing Equipment IPX1 IPX8 Ingress Protection Test System

IEC 60529 IPX1 to IPX8 Protection Against Water Ingress Test System

Complied Standards & Clauses

IEC 60529:2013 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosure (IP code)” IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6, IPX7,IPX8

Equipment Overview

Samples and Restrictions: Electrical and electronic products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, household appliances, communication products, outdoor lighting and signal devices, etc.

Structure: The test equipment consists of a drip mechanism, an oscillating mechanism, a water jet mechanism, an immersion tank, an electrical control cabinet and a turntable. The bracket of drip box is wall-hanging and with anti-drop function, which can lift automatically controlled by motor. One end of the oscillating mechanism is mounted on the wall, and the other end of the oscillating mechanism is fixed on the floor support, the tube is caused to oscillate by motor driving. The nozzle is fixed on the floor stand support. The water tank and electrical control part are integrated, the sample basket lifting is driven by electric hoist. The rotation speed of turntable is adjustable, used for IPX1 ~IPX6 test, and can be tilted 15°, used for IPX2 test. The test equipment is equipped with a water filter cleaning device to prevent pinhole blockage. This whole system adopts open type structure.

Application: 

To verify the protective performance of the enclosure for electronic and electrical products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, household appliances, seals and lamps under:

Water dripping at degree IPX1 and IPX2

Water spraying and splashing at degree IPX3 and IPX4.

Water jets at degree IPX5 and IPX6

Temporary immersion in water at degree IPX7

Continuous immersion in water at degree IPX8

Principle: Ensure that the water drip, water spray or water jet speed reach the standard required value by controlling the water supply flow, and achieve equivalent pressure by controlling the depth of the sample immersed in water, produce a uniform flow of water or pressure over the whole area of the enclosure.

Use Environment:

Power supply: AC380V±5%/50Hz, 15KVA, or match client’s local power supply requirements.

Use place: temperature 15-35 ° C, relative humidity 25%-75%, atmospheric pressure 86 ~ 106kpa (860 mbar -1060 mbar), there should be equipped with lighting and waterproof leakage switch (or socket), the ground needs to be flat, and the water intake and drainage function should be good.

Water source: clean water or tap water without impurities, equipped with water cleaning filter.
