IPX5-6-6K Water Jetting Test Equipment

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

IPX5 / IPX6 / IPX6K Water Jetting Test Chamber is able to project water in jets against the enclosure of the specimen from any direction to determine whether the specimen reaches the specified waterproof level. It can generate different water pressures to meet different testing requirements.

This equipment is suitable for waterproof testing of outdoor lighting, signaling equipment, automotive lamp housings, etc.

AmadeTech configures two pieces of hose nozzles for one machine to fit different test requirements. They are made of precision metal and have different specifications: One’s outlet diameter is 6.3 mm for IPX5 & 6K testing, and the other one’s diameter is 12.5 mm for IPX6 testing. You can select either one to complete the test conveniently.

Open-type-IPX5_6_6K water jetting test equipment

Open-type test equipment

Box-type & open-type IPX5/6/6K water jetting test machines are available at AmadeTech. The box type is an all-in-one test chamber integrating different parts. We add an extra aqueduct to connect to the chamber holding the specimen. The nozzle is positioned at the other end of the duct to project a stream of water from 2.5~3 meters onto the sample through the aqueduct to prevent water from leaking onto the ground and facilitate water collection for circulation use throughout the test. The nozzle oscillation during the test can be automatically achieved if required.

The open type is a split testing machine, as the nozzle and the sample turntable are separated from the control system and the water tank. The sample mounting is free from space limits and can accept samples with larger dimensions, but it requires a waterproof test site with a drainage system.

The turntable placing the sample can rotate at a set speed during the test. The nozzle must be manually oscillated up and down to enable the device under test to be sprayed from all directions.

PLC controls the whole testing process. Before the test, you only need to make the corresponding settings and selections on the touch LCD. The equipment will automatically complete the test according to the predetermined program, saving you the trouble of looking after the machine during testing.

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.
