IEC60529 Comprehensive Waterproof Test Chamber for IPX9K and IPX6K Tests

IP9K / IPX5 / IPX6/ IPX6K High Pressure and Temperature Jet Nozzles Comprehensive Test Chamber

1. Introduction

IPX69K High temperature and high pressure jet spray test chamber is designed according to IEC60529, DIN40050-9 figure 7 and ISO20653 figure 8 and 9. The equipment can do the test of IPX5, IPX6, IPX6K and IPX9K testing. The user can define the test parameters by 7 inch LCD touch screen, and eqeuipment is auto controlled by PLC (Panasonic). The nozzles, turntable and inner box are made by stainless steel, built in waterproof socket to support live test. It is applied to electrical equipment in road vehicles, motors, electric components and auto parts to do the waterproof test. After the test, the user can judge if the performance of the product can meet the requirements or not, and then do the re-designing and improvement.

IPX5 Water jets
Water projected by a nozzle (6.3 mm) against enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 15 minutes, volume: 12.5 litres per minute, pressure 30 kPa at distance of 3 m.

IPX6 Powerful water jets
Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutes, volume: 100 litres per minute, pressure 100 kPa at distance of 3 m.

IPX6-K Powerful water jets with increased pressure
Water projected in powerful jets (12.5 mm nozzle) against the enclosure from any direction, under elevated pressure, shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: at least 3 minutes, Water volume: 75 litres per minute, Pressure: 1000 kPa at distance of 3 m.

IPX9K High Pressure/Steam Water Jets Cleaning

Water projected in high pressure high temperature gainst the enclosure from 4 directions (0⁰, 30⁰, 60⁰, 90⁰) shall have no harmful effects. Test duration: 30s per direction, water volume: 14~16 litres per minute, pressure: 8000~10000 Kpa, temperature: 80±5℃, test distance: 100 to 150mm.
