How to test electronic products for the waterproof detection

The LISUN IP waterproof test machine is widely used in the authentication test organization for products such as electrical & electronic products, and LED luminaires as well as in the relevant quality control department for the waterproof detection of the enclosures protection grades.

LISUN IP waterproof test machine
In the appropriate quality control department for the waterproof detection of the enclosures protection grades, the JL-X waterproof test machine is frequently used in the authentication test organization for products like electrical & electronic products, LED luminaires, and other similar items. The device complies with the following standards: GB/T-2423.2, GB4208, GB7000.1, IEC60529:1989 +A1:1999 +A2:2013 (Degrees of Protection Provided by Enclosures (IP Code)), IEC60598, IEC60335 and IEC60034-5. These test grades are included: IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4, IPX5, IPX6, IPX7, and IPX8.

What does the IP Waterproof test machine include?
The JL-X waterproof test system as a whole consists of:

Drip Box (JL-12)
This device is used for drip tests for IPX1 and IPX2. Size of the drip box is 800x800x75mm (L x W x H). The drip hole has a 0.4mm diameter. There are 20mm between each drip hole. The sample weight is up to 150 kg.

Swing Pipe Water Spray Evaluate Equipment (JL-34)
This device is used to test a waterproofness of IPX3 and IPX4. The swing pipe’s semi-diameter is one meter (Any other size is also available). The swing pipe has an inside diameter of 15mm. The sample rotating table has an adjustable height and a diameter of 1000mm (or another size depending on the diameter of the swing pipe). The PLC panel controls the rotation speed of 1.5 rpm.

Waterproof Jet Test Device (JL-56)
The nozzle diameter is 6.3 mm (IPX5 waterproof test) and 12.5 mm, and the water supply device is 1000 x 1000 x 600 mm in size (IPX6 waterproof test). For IPX55 and IPX6, the water speed is 12.5 0.626L/min and 100 5L/min, respectively.

Waterproof test device (JL-7) for immersion tanks
For the waterproof IPX7 test. The dimension of the water tank is 1200x1200x1000mm (Another size can be designed according to your request). Up to 120 kg of material can be tested.

Waterproof test device (JL-8) for immersion tanks
It is used for testing IPX8. It can mimic a water depth of 0 to 50 meters. The 600mm diameter and 1200mm height of the water immersion tank. The compressive stress is 10 atmospheres or may be designed as per the needs of the client.

Methods of water resistance test
Any substance that can withstand moisture and water is waterproof. The material must pass the hydrostatic head, and waterproof test, and have a rating of at least 1500 mm in order to be categorized as waterproof. The hydrostatic head test indicates a fabric coating’s degree of waterproofness. A piece of cloth is compressed and enclosed within the chamber for this test. The fabric is then exposed to water, and the amount it can tolerate before allowing drops to pass through is measured. Additionally, a rating between 5000 and 20,000 mm is appropriate for all weather conditions.

The Ip67 Waterproof Test is a further crucial technique for waterproof testing. It is described as an electrical enclosure rating that shows how well a gadget is shielded from the damaging effects of dust and water. This test safeguards everything submerged in water up to 1 mm. This exam lasts for at least 30 minutes. In this test, immersion is measured from the object’s bottom at a depth of at least 1 m and from the object’s top at a depth of at least 15 cm.

The ideal place to evaluate an object’s waterproofness is the waterproof test chamber made by LISUN. The capacity of a cloth to reject water from its surface is known as water-resistance. A high resistance level stops your jacket from soaking up warm water and saves your body from losing temperature.

Waterproof testing
The IP (Ingress Protection) scale, which has a range of 1 to 8, is used by the majority of manufacturers of electrical and other devices. The item is not meant to be used in water or when wet, according to IPX1, which is the lowest level of waterproofing. Most gadgets have an IP rating of 7.

The gadget is typically not meant to be immersed, but if it is and is recovered right away, it should continue to operate correctly. Standards for waterproof testing include ISO 20653 and IEC 60529. Each of these provides information on appropriate ingress protection testing methods and ratings. When non-waterproof items become wet, they may malfunction, corrode, grow mold, present electrical risks like fire or shock, or result in other bodily harm.

Medical alert device waterproof testing to International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) IP code grade IPX6 is thus necessary in a lab. For ASTM testing for membrane waterproofing to ASTM C836, standard specification for high solids content, cold liquid-applied elastomeric waterproofing membrane for use with separate wearing course, a materials laboratory is needed.

For ASTM testing for clothing waterproofing, a consumer products performance laboratory is needed. MIL SPECs or other industry-required tests. Flexible sheets must be tested for waterproofing according to BS EN 12691 and for impact resistance according to BS EN 12730 at a UK laboratory that has been approved for this purpose. The determination of static loading resistance and EN 1847 for construction items. Moreover, techniques for being exposed to liquid substances, including water.
