IPX5 and IPX6 Jet Nozzles Test Chamber

1.Introduction

The jet nozzles test chamber can completely meet the test requirements of IEC60529:1989 +A1:1999 +A2: 2013 clauses 14.2.5 and 14.2.6 for IPX5 and IPX6 tests. Spraying the enclosure from all practicable directions with a stream of water from standard test nozzles. The test nozzles (hose nozzles) with Φ6.3mm and Φ12.5mm diameter are strictly designed according to IEC60529 figure 6. Φ6.3mm jet hose nozzle is for IPX5 testing, Φ12.5mm jet hose nozzle is for IPX6 testing.

Working pricinple:

The equipment is consisted by test tunnel and test chamber. Test nozzles are placed at the test tunnel with a distance of 2.8m from the center of the turntable, the turntable is inside the test chamber. The test nozzles can swing up and down automatically to spray the enclosure from all practicable directions. Built-in water tank, so that the water can be recycled.  The test is controlled by PLC and touch screen. The delivery rate is 12.5L/min±5% for IPX3 test and 100L/min±5% for IPX4 test. The water pressure should be adjusted to achieve the specified delivery rates. Test duration per square meter of enclosure surface area likely to be sprayed for 1 min, minimum test duration is 3min.
