IPX5-6-6K Water Jetting Test Equipment

IPX5 / IPX6 / IPX6K Waterproof Test Set-up China Manufacturer

The IPX5/6/6K Water Jetting Test Chamber is engineered to project high-pressure water jets against an enclosure from all directions to verify compliance with specific ingress protection (IP) ratings.

This equipment is essential for evaluating the waterproof integrity of outdoor lighting, signaling equipment, automotive lamp housings, and other critical electronic components.

Integrated Design and Construction

AmadeTech’s box-type equipment features an integrated, one-piece test chamber constructed from premium 304 stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance and longevity.

At the base of the chamber, a motorized turntable secures the specimen, rotating automatically to ensure the sample is exposed to water jets uniformly from every angle. The inner chamber is equipped with a waterproof power socket(optional), allowing for “power-on” testing if required.

Inner chamber

A precision-engineered port (available in circular or rectangular configurations) is located on the side of the chamber, connecting to a 2.5-meter water conduit. This setup introduces the external jet spray into the chamber to act directly on the sample. To promote efficiency and sustainability, a collection tank at the bottom of the chamber captures the water, which is then filtered and pumped back to the nozzle through a closed-loop recycling system.

Precision Nozzles for Versatile Testing

The water jet is delivered via the nozzle, precision-machined from high-grade metal. To meet diverse testing standards, AmadeTech provides two specialized nozzles with every machine:

  • 3 mm Diameter Nozzle: Specifically designed for IPX5 and IPX6K testing.
  • 5 mm Diameter Nozzle: Designed for high-flow IPX6 testing.

Users can switch between these nozzles quickly on the control panel to meet various testing requirements. Furthermore, the equipment offers flexible motion control: users can opt for a fixed nozzle position or enable an automated up-and-down oscillation, ensuring the specimen is thoroughly sprayed from all required directions according to practical testing needs.

Advanced PLC Control and Intuitive HMI

For streamlined operation, the system is equipped with a 7-inch PLC-driven touchscreen interface. The user-friendly HMI (Human-Machine Interface) allows operators to simply select the desired IP rating and test duration. Once initiated, the equipment executes the programmed test protocol automatically, enabling unattended operation. The screen displays real-time data and safety alerts, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and efficient human-machine interaction throughout the process.

Open-type-IPX5_6_6K water jetting test equipment

In addition to self-contained chambers, AmadeTech offers open-type test systems for maximum flexibility. This enclosure-free configuration features a split design where the nozzle and turntable are separated from the central control unit and water reservoir. This layout removes space constraints, making it ideal for large-scale specimens. While this setup requires a dedicated waterproof site with integrated drainage, it provides the operator with the freedom to manually adjust spray angles and distances, ensuring total coverage for complex geometries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

IPX5 waterproof test requires the water from a nozzle of 6.3 mm in internal diameter to spray the revolving sample enclosure at a delivery rate of (12.5±5%) l/min (water pressure approx. 30 kPa) from a distance of 2.5 m to 3.0 m for a minimum time of 3 min, ensuring the core of the substantial stream is a circle of approximately 40 mm diameter at 2.5 m distance from the nozzle.

IPX6 waterproof test requires the water from a nozzle of 12.5 mm in internal diameter to spray the revolving sample enclosure at a delivery rate of (100±5%) l/min (water pressure approx. 100 kPa) from a distance of 2.5 m to 3.0 m for a minimum time of 3 min, ensuring the core of the substantial stream is a circle of approximately 120 mm diameter at 2.5 m distance from the nozzle.

IPX6K waterproof test requires the water from a nozzle of 6.3 mm in internal diameter to spray the revolving sample enclosure at a delivery rate of (75±5%) l/min (water pressure approx. 1,000 kPa) from a distance of 2.5 m to 3.0 m for a minimum time of 3 min.

IPX5, IPX6, and IPX6K are higher-level waterproof test items. They are generally suitable for waterproof testing of household appliances, street lights, electric vehicles, car headlights, voltmeters, transformers, sensors, etc.

  • The box-type test device provides an enclosed test chamber to accommodate the specimen, and the nozzle is positioned 2.5 m to 3.0 m away from the sample enclosure so that a substantial stream of water is sprayed onto the enclosure through an aqueduct. A special water tank at the bottom of the machine is available to collect the water dripping from the enclosure. Then the water is pumped into the nozzle consecutively for recycling. During the whole test process, basically, no water will leak out of the device.
  • The open-type test device is provided with movable nozzles and a stainless steel box integrating the water tank, pump, and control system. You can place the specimen on the support in its normal operating position, then hold the nozzle to aim it at the specimen and spray water onto the revolving enclosure from a specified distance. The test item requires to be performed in a waterproof room or conducted outdoors.

The IPX5 waterproof test does not have high requirements for a water flow rate, which is (12.5±5%) l/min. The pressure of many civil water pipes can meet this flow. If you just do the IPX5 waterproof test, you can only buy a nozzle and connect it to the tap water pipe in the laboratory to complete the test. We will equip the nozzle with a flow meter and pressure gauge.

If you want to do an IPX6 or IPX6K waterproof test, you must buy a whole set of equipment to provide enough water pressure to meet the test requirements.

The nozzle can be adjusted to a fixed angle to spray the sample according to the test needs. Alternatively, it can automatically swing up and down up and down to spray the sample.

The cylindrical aqueduct is limited by space, and the nozzle at its end can only be fixed at a fixed angle to spray water on the sample. The cuboid aqueduct provides ample longitudinal inner space to allow the water stream from the nozzle to move up and down while testing so as to expose the greater longitudinal area of the sample enclosure to water jets from one side. The oscillation of the nozzle can be made automatically under control.

If you prefer the box-type test equipment and the sample enclosure is high, we recommend a cuboid aqueduct.

Of course.

We have preset different test parameters for the PLC control system of the equipment according to different test requirements. Before testing, you only need to tap on the touch screen to select the corresponding test items, such as IPX5, IPX6, and IPX6K. After the test starts, the nozzle will spray a matching water stream aiming at the specimen according to the selected test items to complete the test.

Sure.

If required, we can integrate IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6, and even IPX9 waterproof test devices into one box-type apparatus. In this way, one machine can be used for multiple purposes and help you save equipment purchase costs. For more details, please get in touch with us directly.
