IEC 60529 Water Spray Ingress Protection Test Equipment IPX1 IPX6 Moisture

Use Environment:

Power supply: AC220V±5%/50Hz, 10KVA, 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.



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 chassis, a vertical drip mechanism,
an oscillating tube water spraying mechanism, a water jetting mechanism, a
tunnel, an electrical control cabinet and a turntable. The vertical drip
mechanism is mounted on the top of inner chamber. The oscillating mechanism is
installed in the middle of the inner chamber, two ends are fixed on the side
walls of the inner chamber. The water jetting mechanism is located in the left
side and connected to inner chamber through the long tunnel, which ensure the
distance between the nozzle and the sample. The sample is placed on the
turntable, the turntable is caused to rotating by motor driving at a rotation
speed of 1r/min for IPX1~IPX6 testing, to make the enclosure of the specimen to
be splashed in all directions or sprayed from all practicable directions; and
the height of the turntable can be adjuted manually, to match the test distance
from needle to the sample. This whole system is equipped with a water
filtration cleaning device to prevent pinhole blockage. And the test system
adopts the chamber type structure.



Application:

To verify the protective performance of the enclosure for components of
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



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.
