The IPX56 waterproof climate test chamber is a device used to test the waterproof performance of products, conforming to the IPX5 (water jet resistance) and IPX6 (powerful water jet resistance) protection standards. The following is a detailed introduction to this equipment:
1、Core Function
IPX5 Test: Simulate water spray from a nozzle (6.3mm in diameter), with a water flow rate of 12.5L/min, at a distance of 2.5-3 meters, for at least 3 minutes.
IPX6 Test: Simulate more powerful water spray (nozzle diameter 12.5mm), water flow rate 100L/min, distance 2.5-3 meters, for at least 3 minutes continuously.
2、Equipment components
Water spray system: high-pressure water pump, standard nozzle, flow control valve.
Sample rotary table: 360°rotation to ensure full spraying (some models support speed regulation).
Water tank and circulation system: filtering and recycling water, saving water resources.
Control system: PLC or touch screen, preset test program, record data.
Tank structure: stainless steel, rust and corrosion resistant, transparent observation window.
3、Application areas
Electronic appliances: cell phones, smart watches, charging piles, outdoor lamps and lanterns.
Automobile parts: lights, mirrors, charging interface.
Military equipment: communication equipment, protective equipment.
Industrial products: sensors, valves, distribution boxes.
4、Selection points
Testing requirements: Confirm whether you need only IPX56, or combined with other levels (such as IPX7/8 immersion test).
Box size: choose according to the size of the sample (e.g. 500 x 500 x 500mm or customized).
Water quality requirements: whether filtered or deionized water capability is required.
Additional functions: e.g. temperature control, automated testing, data export.
5、Product Features
(1), box-type waterproof test box box material: are made of SUS304 stainless steel plate, or other parts that have contact with water are made of stainless steel plate or copper materials.
(2), water pump: to provide a pressure test water source.
(3), flow meter: water flow measurement.
(4)、Door: large screen visualized tempered glass door, observe the test condition at any time.
(5)、Reducing mechanism: worm gear reducer.
(6), pendulum swing: through the motor / inverter drive reducer / eccentric wheel mechanism / rack and pinion and other mechanical transmission to achieve. The frequency converter is used to adjust the number of times (within a unit of time) through the eccentric mechanism to adjust the required angle.
(7), rotary table: table surface for the 304 stainless steel plate motor driven worm gear reducer rotation, with frequency converter speed control, adjust the appropriate speed.
(8), nozzle: according to the size of the specimen, the inner volume of the box to determine the bending radius of the pendulum. The nozzle is a foldable special nozzle, the spray hole can be replaced at any time according to the standard requirements of the aperture, can adjust the direction of the water spray, so that the water droplets are uniformly shot out, the flow is sufficient.
(9), water tank: stainless steel water tank, equipped with a water filter, water inlet float valve, drain valve, such as the need for heating, the tank can also be equipped with electric heating tubes and temperature controllers.
(10), Sewerage: designed in the bottom of the box can be quickly discharged, will not accumulate water.
Drenching test chamber rating:
For portable, outdoor and automotive electronics have waterproof test requirements, in the international are IEC, MIL or ETSI and SAE have formulated the corresponding test requirements.
IEC/EN60529 waterproof is divided into 9 levels (level 0 ~ level 8), waterproof level (e.g. IPX4 - waterproof level 4): Level 0: * waterproof unprotected
Level 1: Vertical drops of water should have no harmful effect.
Level 2: Vertical dripping of water shall have no harmful effect when the vertical surfaces of the housing are inclined within 15°.
Level 3: No harmful effects of water dripping vertically within 60° of the vertical surfaces of the enclosure
Level 4: Splashing water in all directions of the enclosure without harmful effects
Level 5: Spraying water in all directions of the enclosure without harmful effects
Level 6: Strong spraying of water in all directions of the enclosure without harmful effects
Level 7: No harmful effects of water ingress into the enclosure after immersion in water at a specified pressure for a specified period of time.
Level 8: No harmful water ingress into the enclosure after continuous diving under conditions agreed between the manufacturer and the user (which shall be more severe than Level 7).
Level 9: High pressure test
