IEC60529 Comprehensive Waterproof Test Chamber for IPX9K and IPX6K Tests

Product Specification

IP9K / IPX5 / IPX6/ IPX6K High Pressure and Temperature Jet Nozzles Comprehensive Test Chamber

1. Introduction

IPX69K High temperature and high pressure jet spray test chamber is designed according to IEC60529, DIN40050-9 figure 7 and ISO20653 figure 8 and 9. The equipment can do the test of IPX5, IPX6, IPX6K and IPX9K testing. The user can define the test parameters by 7 inch LCD touch screen, and eqeuipment is auto controlled by PLC (Panasonic). The nozzles, turntable and inner box are made by stainless steel, built in waterproof socket to support live test. It is applied to electrical equipment in road vehicles, motors, electric components and auto parts to do the waterproof test. After the test, the user can judge if the performance of the product can meet the requirements or not, and then do the re-designing and improvement.
