Products Description
IPX1 to IPX7 Comprehensive Protection Against Water Ingress Testing System
Overview:
The comprehensive water ingress testing system is used to verify the protective performance of the enclosure for electronic and electrical products, automobiles, motorcycle parts, household appliances, seals and lamps under:
The water ingress testing system ensures 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.
Standards compliant:
IEC 60529-2013 “Degrees of protection provided by enclosure (IP code)” IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6 and IPX7
IEC 60598-1-2017 “Luminaries-Part1: General requirements and tests”
Structure:
The test equipment consists of a drip mechanism, an oscillating mechanism, a water jet mechanism, an immersion tank, an electrical control cabinet and a turntable. The bracket of drip box is wall-hanging and with anti-drop function, which can lift automatically controlled by motor. One end of the oscillating mechanism is mounted on the wall, and the other end of the oscillating mechanism is fixed on the floor support, the tube is caused to oscillate by motor driving. The nozzle is fixed on the floor stand support. The water tank and electrical control part are integrated, the sample basket lifting is driven by electric hoist. The rotation speed of turntable is adjustable, used for IPX1 ~IPX6 test, and can be tilted 15°, used for IPX2 test. The test equipment is equipped with a water filter cleaning device to prevent pinhole blockage. This whole system adopts open type structure.

1. Electrical Control Cabinet & Water Immersion Tank
Electrical Control Cabinet
Application Range
Water supply and control for IPX1-6 test, IPX7 water immersion test
Water Supply Method
Constant flow water supply, constant pressure water supply
Water Supply Control Process
The electronic flow meter and digital pressure gauge monitor the current values in real time after user sets the flow and pressure values on the touch screen, the data is read into the PLC through data conversion, and then the water pump speed is adjusted through the frequency converter. The system has two channels of water supply: one large flow branch and one small flow branch.
Large Flow Branch
Small Flow Branch
Immersion Tank / Water Storage Tank
Water Supply Pipeline
The water supply of the system is distributed to each equipment through the PVC hoses according to the site layout, controlled by the electromagnetic water valve separately of each equipment. The water supply pipeline is installed with a drain valve. After the test is completed, the water in the water pipe is automatically removed.
