How It Works
Conducting an IPX3 and IPX4 rain spray test with the Derui IPX34 Rain Spray Test Chamber is straightforward and precise. Here’s how the process goes:
- Setup the SamplePlace your product inside the chamber securely, ensuring it’s positioned for consistent water exposure.
- Select Spray AngleFor IPX3, adjust the spray nozzles to deliver water at a 60° angle.
For IPX4, set the spray nozzles for a full 180° spray coverage.
This simulates real-world rain and splash conditions.Configure Water FlowControl the water flow rate to match IEC 60529 standards, ensuring the right volume and pressure for accurate testing. - Program the Test CycleUse the digital controller to set test duration, spray intervals, and cycle repetitions. The programmable interface allows easy tweaking depending on product specs.
- Start MonitoringOnce the test begins, monitor water spray delivery and system status on the touchscreen interface. The chamber offers real-time feedback and alerts.
- Complete Test and DrainAfter the cycle finishes, the chamber automatically drains water to prevent corrosion or damage. You can then inspect your product for water ingress.
The IPX34 Rain Spray Test Chamber’s adjustable spray system combined with precise cycle control ensures reliable and repeatable testing for water ingress resistance. It’s designed to give you confidence that products meet strict IEC 60529 IPX3 and IPX4 standards every time.
