IP Rating waterproof and Dust Testing

Feb 08, 2024

LIB has a line of waterproof spray chambers to test the IPX1, X2, IPX3 and IPX4 protection degree against rain and sprays according to IEC 60529 and other international standards.


The water spray Chamber built with water re-circulation system that reduced water use and a series of water pipes. Incorporated rotating turntable can promote even spray of water over the surface of the products under testing. Automatic water supply ensures adequate supply of water and automatic testing. All models are upgrade to programmable controller and Ethernet access that provides simple operation and control. Its waterproof power connector in the test room can easily supply electricity to the specimens.

 

With the rapid development of science and technology and people's increasingly demanding quality of life, waterproof level has become an indicator that people must pay attention to when buying various electronic products. In the IP waterproof level, the higher the number, the better the waterproof performance, and the corresponding test pressure will be different.

 

IP54 rating

The IP54 rating is the lower waterproof rating, requiring the product to operate normally under minor spatter and dust. Its test pressure is relatively low, generally around 1-5kPa. This waterproof rating is suitable for some everyday use products, such as laptops and so on. In the field of automotive electronics, some controllers, sensors, etc. that must be prevented from rainwater infiltration will also be required to reach an IP54 waterproof rating.

 

IP67 rating
The IP67 rating is a relatively high waterproof rating, requiring the product to stay in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without problems. The test pressure also increased, reaching about 10kPa. This waterproof rating is ideal for handheld electronics such as smartphones. In addition, some sensors, control boxes and other electrical products also need to reach IP67 level to ensure that they can still work normally in harsh working environments.
The IP requirements of electronic products, mobile phones and watches have been universal. Apple, Samsung, and most domestic brand mobile phones will pass the IP67 test.

 

IP68 rating
The product can stay in 1 meter deep water for more than 30 minutes without issues, more than 30 minutes, there is no specific regulation, the specific by the user or the manufacturer to grasp, and with dust and impact resistance. The test pressure is much higher, and in fact, a lot of customers will ask IP68 how much test pressure to use, which makes a lot of customers difficult, because IP68 rules are up to 10kPa. This waterproof rating is suitable for electronic products under extreme conditions, such as diving cameras and life-saving equipment.

 

Waterproof rating requirements for common products


 

For waterproof watches, mobile phones and other daily products, the actual use of the environment is generally in the atmospheric environment, not under pressure. This is proposed to meet the waterproof requirements of IP67, mainly to ensure that the product can be washed, or can be worn swimming.


Outdoor cameras, electricity meters, control boxes also need to meet a certain waterproof level, as a fixed device, generally meet the IP54 level of spatter, but many customers use IP67 standards, which is to improve product quality.
