From Rain to High-Pressure Spray: LIB IP6K9K Test Machine Has You Covered

Sep 17 2025
Table of Content [Hide]

    Waterproof testing is a critical step for automotive, electronics, appliance, and defense industries. The IP6K9K Test Machine  is designed to verify whether products can withstand the harshest high-pressure, high-temperature water spray conditions defined by international standards.

    This article explores what makes an IPX6K9K Test Machine essential, how it works, and why choosing the right model can safeguard product reliability and boost customer trust.



    Understanding IPX6K and IPX9K Standards

    Products are tested under two extreme conditions:

    • IPX6K – High-pressure water jets (Ø6.3 mm nozzle, 75 L/min ±5%) strike the product from multiple angles, simulating rain or vehicle washing.

    • IPX9K – Ultra-high water pressure (8,000–10,000 kPa) and elevated temperature (up to 88°C), applied at four angles (0°, 30°, 60°, 90°), covering every surface.

    These tests ensure your products meet the strictest waterproofing benchmarks, recognized globally in IEC 60529, ISO 20653, and MIL-STD standards.



    LIB IP6K9K Test Machine Structure and Design

    The R6K9K-1200 model is engineered for precision, durability, and operator convenience:

    Stainless Steel Chamber – SUS304 construction resists corrosion and ensures long-term reliability.

    Viewing Window with Windshield Wipers& Lighting – Large tempered glass window with internal LED lighting enables clear monitoring.

    Sealing System – Airtight door with silicone gasket prevents leaks during high-pressure tests.

    Rotating Platform – Ø600 mm turntable supports up to 50 kg, adjustable height (200–400 mm), 5 ± 1 rpm for uniform exposure.

    Spray System – IPX6K nozzle (Ø6.3 mm) and four IPX9K nozzles with adjustable angles. Flow and pressure precisely controlled.

    Water System – Pumps, filters, and heaters maintain exact water temperature, flow, and pressure.

    • IPX6K nozzle

    • IPX9K nozzles

    Control Panel – Touchscreen interface for automated control, real-time monitoring, and fault alerts.

    This integrated design ensures safe, reliable, and repeatable testing for a wide range of products.
