In today's technology-driven world, products-from automotive components to outdoor electronics-must endure increasingly severe water and weather exposure. From gentle drips and mist to torrential rains, high‑pressure jets and full submersion, each scenario demands precise, repeatable testing to validate sealing integrity and prevent costly field failures. LIB's comprehensive Water Rain Test Equipment covers every facet of ingress‑protection and rain‑resistance testing-IPX1 through IPX9K, JIS D 0203, SAE J575, MIL‑STD 810G and more-ensuring you can certify your designs to the world's most rigorous standards with one trusted partner.
【What Does Water Rain Test Equipment Cover?】
LIB's suite of chambers replicates the full spectrum of water exposure scenarios:
Combined IPX1–6 Rain Test Chamber
IPX1 & IPX2 (Drip Box)
IPX1 and IPX2 use 0.4 mm stainless steel drip holes spaced 20 mm apart to deliver controlled drip rates of 1 mL/min and 3 mL/min. A removable 15° tilt plate enables multi-directional dripping for IPX2.
IPX3 & IPX4 (Oscillating Spray Tube)
For IPX3 and IPX4 tests, eight 0.4 mm ports on an oscillating tube spray 0.07 L/min each. The swing arc reaches ±60° for IPX3 and ±180° for IPX4, with a minimum test duration of 10 minutes to ensure consistent coverage.
High‑Pressure Jet Tests (IPX5–IPX6 & SAE J575 Type B)
For IPX5 testing, a 6.3 mm stainless steel nozzle delivers water at 12.5 L/min under 30–100 kPa pressure, forming a 40 mm jet core at a distance of 2.5 m. IPX6 uses a larger 12.5 mm stainless steel nozzle with a flow rate of 100 L/min at 100 ± 5 kPa, maintaining the same 40 mm jet core for consistent comparison with IPX5. Also, solid‑cone spray nozzles for SAE standards at ≥100 L/min from ≤ 3 m.
Immersion Tests (IPX7–IPX8 & SAE J575 Dip Tests)
The immersion system simulates water depths from 1 m (IPX7) up to 50 m (IPX8), replicating real-world submersion conditions. A pneumatic lid with a dual-layer soft/hard silicone gasket ensures a reliable watertight seal. Safety features include an external leak-level gauge, over-pressure relief valve, and an adjustable sample holder supporting up to 50 kg (customized).
Extreme High‑Pressure Spray (IPX9K)
Four directional nozzles cycling through 0°, 30°, 60° and 90°, delivering bursts at 8 000–10 000 kPa and +88 °C.
JIS D0203 Rain Test Chamber
LIB's chamber meets the JIS D0203 standard by simulating moisture (M1, M2) and rain (R1, R2) conditions using programmable spray systems. It ensures components withstand humidity, condensation, and rain exposure per Japanese automotive requirements.
MIL‑STD‑810G Rain Test Chamber
Designed for U.S. military testing, this chamber uses high-flow nozzles and fan-assisted systems to simulate steady and wind-driven rain, verifying equipment reliability under harsh environmental conditions.
【How LIB Ensures Precision across All Water Test Chambers】
Uniform 360° Coverage
Robust SUS304 stainless‑steel turntables (350–500 mm height, 1–5 r/min rotation) guarantee even exposure from every angle-crucial for detecting weak spots. Optional tilt discs and multi‑axis positioning arms accommodate non‑standard geometries and mounted components.
Real‑Time Monitoring & Data Logging
Integrated flow meters, pressure gauges and temperature sensors feed live data to touchscreen controllers. Ethernet connectivity and USB ports enable remote supervision, LIMS integration and full audit‑trail export.
Observation & Safety Features
Impact‑resistant view windows with manual wipers and LED illumination provide clear visibility of specimens throughout the test cycle. Leak detectors, over‑pressure relief valves, water‑level gauges and electrical‑leakage protection safeguard both equipment and operators.
Eco‑Friendly Water Management
A closed-loop water circulation system with multi-stage filtration ensures continuous reuse and purity, reducing water waste and maintaining consistent testing conditions. Recyclable reservoirs and automated top‑up functions significantly reduce water consumption and utility costs.
