IPX9K Test Chamber: ISO 20653 & IEC 60529 IP Test Chamber

IPX9K Test Chamber Overview

The Qualitest IPX9K test chamber delivers targeted high-pressure and high-temperature water sprays to check the sealing effectiveness of product enclosures. Built with an internal testing space of 1000×1000×1000 mm, this specialized equipment subjects test articles to intense washdown conditions to verify that moisture cannot seep into critical internal mechanisms.

Inside the cabinet, the system circulates water at rates between 14 and 16 L/Min (±5%) while generating fluid pressures from 8000 to 10000 K Pa. The liquid can be warmed from ambient plus 5°C up to 80±5°C, delivering the exact thermal and physical forces needed for comprehensive ingress evaluations. Through a straightforward LCD touchscreen interface, your operators can configure test requirements, supervise the 120-second operational cycles, and achieve steady repeatability across regular quality evaluations.

Compliance & Standards

Fulfilling recognized worldwide testing criteria is essential when confirming enclosure safety during severe cleaning routines. This IP test chamber adheres to the explicit guidelines defined by international standardization groups:

• IEC 60529: Confirms water ingress resistance under standardized IPX9 parameters, verifying that enclosures endure close-range water streams with an impact force of 0.9 to 1.2N.
• ISO 20653 (ISO-20653-2013): Governs high-pressure washdown testing for road vehicle equipment seeking the X9K rating, utilizing hot water jets applied across set angles to confirm seal durability.

With these benchmark protocols built directly into the control architecture, our equipment allows your quality team to verify international conformance without guesswork.

Key Features

• High-Pressure Thermal Water Supply: Delivers spray pressure spanning 8000 to 10000 K Pa alongside heating capabilities of RT+5 to 80±5°C, allowing you to replicate hot water sanitation and severe spray cleaning inside a controlled space.
• Multi-Angle Spray Array: Features four preset water spray positions oriented at 0°, 30°, 60°, and 90° along a 400 mm swing pipe radius. The automated control system engages each angle for 30 seconds during the total 120-second cycle to evaluate every joint.
• Motorized Rotary Test Platform: A Φ 500mm sample stage rotates smoothly between 5 and 10 R/Min at a height of 250mm. The platform accommodates loads up to 10kg with an eccentricity of 100mm, ensuring test items receive balanced spray exposure.
• Trusted Component Architecture: Integrates electrical components from Schneider and Omron to help ensure steady operational reliability across continuous test sessions.
• Programmable Touchscreen Controller: An intuitive LCD screen lets operators input parameters manually or run automated cycles to match your team's specific test sequences.
• Spacious Work Envelope: Internal dimensions of 1000×1000×1000 mm accommodate varied component profiles, while external dimensions of approx 1500×2100×1200 mm make practical use of laboratory floor plans.

Product Applications & Operating Environments

The IPX9K test chamber is built for indoor use within quality control facilities, testing laboratories, and manufacturing inspection stations. Operating in typical industrial research rooms, the equipment lets your staff verify that test samples and product enclosures remain watertight when subjected to high-temperature, pressurized washdowns.

To maintain laboratory safety and preserve the mechanical integrity of the chamber, your testing procedures must observe defined sample boundaries:

• Do not test or store articles containing flammable, explosive, or volatile chemical compounds.
• Do not place materials with corrosive properties inside the cabinet.
• Biological specimens are prohibited from the test enclosure.
• Specimens that give off strong electromagnetic emissions must not be tested within the unit.
