Test requirements and test chamber configuration for each grade

IP Rating

Test conditions

Test Chamber Realization

IPX1

Vertical water drip (1mm/min) for 10 minutes.

Top drip tray or vertical sprinkler system with uniform distribution of water drops.

IPX2

Tilt 15° drip (3mm/min) for 10 minutes.

Tiltable sample stage (15°) with top drip unit.

IPX3

Pendulum 60° drenching (10 L/min) for 5 minutes.

Adjustable angle of the pendulum (60°-180°), spray hole density according to IEC 60529.

IPX4

Full range splash (10 L/min) for 10 minutes.

360° rotation of the pendulum or nozzle array to cover all directions.

IPX5

High-pressure water spray (12.5 L/min, 30 kPa, nozzle diameter 6.3 mm) for 3 minutes.

High-pressure water pump + standard nozzle, 2.5-3 meters from the sample, precise control of water pressure.

IPX6

Powerful water jet (100 L/min, 100kPa, nozzle diameter 12.5mm) for 3 minutes.

Upgraded high-pressure system (more powerful pump) to strengthen the drainage capacity and prevent the box from overloading.

Test chamber design features

1. Modularized structure

- 

Multi-test unit integration:

◦ 

Top drip tray (IPX1/IPX2), pendulum system (IPX3/IPX4), high pressure nozzle (IPX5/IPX6).

◦ 

Removable design to combine test patterns on demand.

- 

Sample stage flexibility:

◦ 

Motorized tilt stage (0°-90°), adapted for IPX2 testing.

◦ 

Swivel stage (0-360°) to ensure full spray coverage.

2. Spray system

- 

Intelligent switching:

◦ 

Switch IPX1-IPX6 modes with a single click through the control system, automatically adjusting water pressure, flow rate and angle.

◦ 

Nozzle material: stainless steel or tungsten carbide, resistant to high pressure and long-term corrosion.

- 

Precise control:

◦ 

Flow range: 1 L/min (IPX1) to 100 L/min (IPX6) with ±5% error.

◦ 

Water pressure range: atmospheric (IPX1-4) to 100 kPa (IPX6).

3. Control system

- 

Fully automatic operation:

◦ 

Touch screen interface with preset standard test programs (e.g. IEC 60529, ISO 20653).

◦ 

Real-time monitoring of parameters: water temperature, flow rate, pressure, test time.

- 

Data management:

◦ 

Store historical test data, support USB export or network upload.

4. Enclosure and Safety

- 

Material: 304 stainless steel frame + tempered glass observation window, corrosion resistant and transparent and visible.

- 

Waterproof sealing: double sealing door + bottom drainage groove to prevent water leakage to the external environment.

- 

Safety protection: over-voltage protection, leakage disconnection, emergency stop button.

5. Water Circulation System

- 

Circulation filtration: multi-stage filtration (removing impurities) + constant temperature water tank (controlling water temperature 20-25℃).

- 

Energy-saving design: closed water circulation, reducing pure water consumption.

Selection of key parameters

Parameter

Description

Test compatibility

Maintenance and Calibration

1. 

Routine maintenance:

◦ 

Clean nozzles and filters regularly to prevent clogging.

◦ 

Check seals and lines, replace aging parts.

2. Annual calibration:

◦ 

Calibrate spray parameters using flow meters and pressure gauges to ensure compliance with IEC standards.

◦ 

Verify accuracy of pendulum angle and rotation speed.
