Sand and Dust Test Chamber – IEC60529 Settling & Blowing Sand Dust Test Equipment

KP-DC1000A Settling Blowing Sand And Dust Test Chambers IEC60529

The Settling Blowing Sand & Dust Test Chamber is a precision environmental test system designed to evaluate dust ingress protection performance of electrical enclosures, automotive components and sealed products under IEC 60529 IP5X and IP6X conditions. It combines controlled talcum powder settling and blowing mechanisms with optional vacuum to simulate harsh dusty environments and verify enclosure integrity.

• Testing Automotive Lights and Electrical Dust Covers for IP6X Compliance

Testing Principle

The chamber circulates and settles talcum powder at a controlled concentration of 2–4 kg/m³ while maintaining airflow velocity ≤2 m/s. For IP6X testing, the vacuum system creates negative pressure inside the specimen to draw dust through seal gaps. The PLC controller ensures repeatable dust exposure and accurate test conditions as defined by the standards.
