Brief introduction to the test method of IPX123456 waterproof test equipment

IP waterproof test equipment can also be called rain test box, waterproof testing equipment, waterproof detector, waterproof testing machine, IP waterproof testing machine, etc. It is applicable to products including but not limited to electronic and electrical products, diving equipment, mobile phones, wrist watches, household appliances, LED lamps, lighting fixtures, swimming pool lights, connectors, automotive instruments, etc.

IPX123456 waterproof test equipment is implemented according to international national standards such as IEC60529:1989+A1:1999+A2:2013, GB/T4208-2017 Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code). It is divided into 1-9 conventional protection grades. The larger the number, the better the waterproof effect.

The 1-9 waterproof grade equipment are IPX9 high temperature pressure jet waterproof test chamber, IPX7/8 immersion tank waterproof test device, IPX5/6 waterproof jet test device, IPX3/4 swing pipe water spray test equipment, IPX1/2 drip box, in addition, there are ocean depth simulation test machine, multi-functional rain chamber, multi-functional comprehensive rain box, etc. The waterproof test equipment of can be customized according to the user’s test needs, size of specifications, etc.

How to test IPX123456?
Test method of IPX12 in IP waterproof test equipment: IPX1 refers to preventing dripping from invading, and vertically dripping water drops, such as condensate, will not cause harmful effects on appliances; IPX2 means that when the inclination is 15 °, the dripping can still be prevented from invading, and the dripping will not cause harmful effects on the appliance.
Test method of IPX34 in IP waterproof test equipment: its spray hole size: diameter 0.4mm; Flow: 1.8L/min ± 0.05 (IPX3); 6L/min±0.05（IPX4）； Pipe swing angle: 120 º (IPX3); 350º（IPX4）； Swinging speed of swing tube: 120 ° back and forth 4S (IPX3); 350 ° back and forth 12S (IPX4);
Test method for IPX56 in IP waterproof test equipment: inner diameter of nozzle: 6.3mm for IPX5; IPX6 is 12.5mm; Water flow: IPX5 is 12.5 ± 0.625L/min; IPX6 is 100 ± 5L/min; The water pressure is adjusted according to the specified water flow; The center of the main water flow is 2.5m away from the nozzle, and IPX5 is a circle with a diameter of about 40mm; IPX6 is 120mm; The water spraying time is about 1min per square meter of the shell surface; The test time shall be at least 3min.

How long does the waterproof test usually take?
In fact, when the product is tested for water resistance, the general test time is mainly determined according to the international standard test requirements or the user’s test time requirements for the product. For example, the test time of IPX56 cannot be less than 3 minutes, and the test time of IPX7 immersion test is 30 minutes. The test time will be different for different grades.
Is it true that the longer the product is tested, the better? In fact, it is not. The testing time of waterproof testing equipment can be 24 hours or 48 hours, but it is not recommended to take too long. If the time is too long, it will damage the product.
