(1) IPX 1

Method name: Vertical drop test

Test equipment: Drop test device

Sample placement: According to the normal working position of the sample, place the sample on the rotating sample table of 1r/min. The distance between the top of the sample and the drop mouth is no more than 200mm

Test condition: Drip rate is 10.05 mm/min

Duration: 10 min

(2) IPX 2

Method name: Inclined 15 degree drop test

Test equipment: Drop test device

Sample placement: Making a 15° angle between the sample surface and the vertical line. The distance between sample top to drip mouth no greater than 200mm. After each test, change to the other side, a total of four times.

Test condition: Drip volume is 30.5 mm/min

Duration: 4 x 2.5 min (total 10 min)

(3) IPX 3

Method name: water spray test

Test method:

a. Swing Tube type spray test

Test equipment: Swing pipe type water splashing test device

Sample placement: Select the appropriate radius of the tube so that the sample table height is in the position of the diameter of the pipe diameter. Place the sample on the sample table to make the distance between the top of the sample is no more than 200mm, and the sample table is not rotated.
Experimental conditions: Water volume calculated according to the number of holes in the pipe, each hole is 0.07 L/min. When pouring water, the spray hole which placed in the both sides of the swing pipe would spray to the sample. The sample placed in the pipe center circle. The swing pipe would swing 60° twice on both sides of the vertical of 60 degrees, total 120°. Each swing (2 x 120) is about 4s

Test time: Continuous pouring water 10 min

b. Shower nozzle type shower water test

Test equipment: Portable water splashing test device

Sample placement: Make the parallel distance between the top of the test and the head of the hand-held nozzle is 300mm to 500mm

Test condition: When the test should be installed with the balance of the baffle, the water flow is 10 L/min

Test time: According to the sample shell surface area calculated, per square meter is 1 min (not including the installation area), at least 5 min

(4) IPX 4

Name: splashing test method

Test method:

a. Swing pipe type splashing test

Test equipment and test sample: the same as the above IPX 3 a;

Test conditions: In addition to the conditions following, all the same and the above IPX 3 a models are the same; the water spray area is placed in the middle of the tube at the same time, the 90 degrees of the water spray nozzle. The sample is placed in the pipe center circle. The vertical pipe swing of 180° on both sides, total about 360 degrees. Each swing (2 x 360) is about 12s

Test time: Same as the above IPX 3 a models(that is, 10 min).

b. Nozzle type splashing test

Test equipment and placing samples: Same as the IPX 3 b;

Test conditions: Installation of the device on the installation of a balanced weight of the baffle, and the rest of the above IPX 3 b;

Test time: Same as the above IPX 3 b models, that is, the sample of the shell surface area per square meter is 1 min (not including the installation area) at least 5min

(5) IPX 5

Method name: Spray test

Test equipment: The nozzle diameter of the nozzle is 6.3mm

Test condition: The water flow rate is 2.5m (750 L/min), the water flow rate is 12.5 3M (L/h).

Test time: According to the sample shell surface area calculation, per square meter is 1 min (not including the installation area) at least 3 min

(6) IPX 6

Method name: Strong water spray test;

Test equipment: Nozzle diameter of 12.5 mm

Test conditions: 100 L/min (6000 L/h)

Test time: According to the sample shell surface area calculation, per square meter is 1 min (not including the installation area) at least 3 min

(7) IPX 7

Method name: Short-time immersion test

Test equipment and test conditions: Immersion tank. The sample size should be put into the immersion tank, and the distance between the bottom of the sample and the surface of the sample is at least 1m. The top of the sample is at least 0.15m

Test time: 30 min

(8) IPX 8

Method name: continuous dive test;

Test equipment, test conditions and test time: Decided by the supply and demand (sell and buy). Its severity degree is higher than IPX 7.

Note: In addition, many outdoor electronic products also stress the ability to float.
