IEC 60529 IPX1/2/3/4/5/6 Comprehensive Water Ingress Testing Chamber 1000L Waterproof Test

Equipment Overview

Application Background: The destruction of products and materials by natural water (rain, sea, river, etc.) causes an incalculable economic loss every year. The damages caused mainly include corrosion, fading, deformation, strength drop, expansion, mildew, etc., especially electrical products are easily broken into fires due to short circuits caused by rain. Therefore, enclosure protection water testing for specific products or materials is an essential and critical process.

General application areas: outdoor lighting, household appliances, auto parts and other electronic and electrical products.

Equipment function: The main function of the equipment is to test the physical and other related properties of electronic and electrical products, lamps, electric cabinets, electrical components, automobiles, motorcycles and their parts and components under simulated climatic conditions. After the test, judge whether the performance of the product meets the requirements by the verification, so as to facilitate the design, improvement, verification and factory inspection of the product.
