IPX7, IPX8 and Deep Water Immersion Testing
Test Level | Immersion Condition | Typical Requirement |
IPX7 | Temporary immersion | Up to 1 m / 30 min |
IPX8 | Continuous immersion | >1 m / Specified duration |
IP68 | Dust + continuous immersion | According to specified conditions |
Deep-Water Testing | Pressurized immersion | Up to 50 m equivalent depth* |
The IPX7 IPX8 Test Chamber provides controlled water depth, pressure, and test duration for reliable water ingress evaluation. IPX8 and deep-water conditions can be customized according to product requirements.
Actual pressure and immersion conditions should be configured according to the applicable test standard and agreed testing requirements.
Key Features of IPX7 IPX8 Pressurized Water Ingress Protection Tester
Designed for Pressurized Immersion Testing
The chamber is engineered for controlled water immersion under specified pressure conditions. This makes it suitable for testing products that may experience deep-water exposure or continuous immersion during actual use.
Pneumatic Lid for Convenient Operation
The pneumatic lid simplifies opening and closing of the cylindrical test tank while providing a secure enclosure during testing.
Automatic Water Supply and Level Control
An integrated water supply system supports efficient test preparation. Automatic water supply and water level control help maintain stable and repeatable immersion conditions.
Pressure Limiting Protection
An independent pressure limiting device helps control the pressure inside the cylindrical tank and provides an additional layer of protection during pressurized immersion testing.
Secure Tank Installation
The test tank can be securely fixed to the supporting structure to improve stability during operation.
Flexible Customization
LIB industry can customize the Water Immersion Test Chamber according to specimen size and testing requirements, including:
Custom solutions can also be developed for requirements such as deeper water immersion conditions up to 100 m equivalent depth, subject to engineering evaluation and applicable test requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an IPX7 water immersion test?
An IPX7 test evaluates protection against temporary water immersion, typically at 1 meter depth for 30 minutes according to the applicable test method.
What is the difference between IPX7 and IPX8?
IPX7 covers temporary immersion, while IPX8 covers continuous immersion under specified conditions, which may involve greater water depth and longer test durations.
Can this chamber perform IP68 testing?
Yes. The chamber can be used for the water immersion portion of IP68 testing. The complete IP68 evaluation also requires the applicable dust protection test.
Can the Water Immersion Test Chamber be customized?
Yes. Test tank dimensions, immersion depth, pressure, test duration, fixtures, and control functions can be configured according to the product and testing requirements.
