IP68 Test Equipment: Complete Solutions for Ingress Protection Testing

When manufacturers search for ip68 test equipment , they often expect a single device. In reality, IP68 testing requires two different types of chambers: one for dust ingress (IP6X/IP5X) and another for water immersion (IPX7/IPX8). Only by combining both can a product be certified to the highest IP68 protection level.

LIB offers a full range of IP test chambers, including sand and dust test chambers and water immersion tanks, ensuring compliance with IEC 60529 and delivering reliable, repeatable results.

Beyond Immersion: What IP68 Really Means

The “6” in IP68 stands for complete dust tightness, while the “8” signifies resistance to continuous immersion in water, typically under pressure and at depths greater than 1 meter. Achieving this rating means a product can withstand both harsh dusty environments and demanding waterproof challenges.

That’s why LIB offers not only immersion tanks but also dust chambers, rain spray systems, and water jetting testers—allowing manufacturers to perform a full range of ingress protection tests in-house.

LIB IP68 Test Equipment Features

It’s important to note that achieving IP68 protection requires two distinct types of equipment, not a single all-in-one device. LIB provides both:

1. IP6X/IP5X Sand and Dust Test Chamber

Designed to evaluate dust ingress resistance, this dust test chamber simulates real-world dusty environments under controlled airflow.
