Ensuring the reliability of electrical and electronic products in real-world environments requires rigorous testing against water and dust ingress. From automotive sensors exposed to rain to outdoor electronics challenged by sandstorms, accurate and repeatable testing determines product durability and safety.
LIB industry, a professional manufacturer of environmental simulation chambers, provides a comprehensive range of Water and Dust Test Equipment designed to meet IEC 60529, ISO 20653, IEC 60068-2-68, ASTM, and MIL standards. With solutions spanning IPX1–X9K waterproof test chambers and IP5X–IP6X dust ingress chambers, LIB industry enables global engineers to achieve compliance, precision, and efficiency across R&D and production testing.
The Ingress Protection (IP) rating defines an enclosure’s ability to resist solids and liquids.
· First digit (0–6): Protection from dust and solid objects.
· Second digit (0–9K): Resistance to water or moisture.
Examples:
- IP6X — Completely dust-tight.
- IPX6 — Withstands high-pressure water jets (100 kPa, 100 L/min).
Products in automotive, electronics, telecommunications, and defense industries often face severe outdoor conditions. Water and dust ingress can lead to corrosion, electrical short-circuiting, or seal failure. Testing to IEC 60529 and ISO 20653 verifies enclosure integrity before certification and market release.
-Rain test chambers simulate drips, oscillating sprays, or high-pressure jets to recreate rainfall and splashes.
- Dust test chambers reproduce high-concentration fine powder environments using 50 μm talcum dust to test sealing and airflow resistance.
- Stable temperature (~50 °C), air pressure, and particle concentration (2–4 kg/m³) ensure reproducible and certification-ready results.
