Water Immersion Test Chamber Description
IEC60529 IPX8 Ingress Protection Test Equipment For Pressure Immersion
The Water Immersion Test Chamber is a high-precision pressure immersion testing system designed to evaluate water resistance performance of electronic products, electrical enclosures and sealed components under IEC 60529 IPX7 and IPX8 conditions. It applies microprocessor-controlled pressure (0โ0.3 MPa) to simulate real-world water depths up to 30 m, delivering accurate and repeatable assessment of enclosure integrity against water ingress.
Testing Principle
The chamber submerges the test specimen in water and applies controlled pressure using a microprocessor system. For IPX8 testing, pressure is increased to simulate greater depths while monitoring for water ingress. The PLC controller maintains stable pressure and automatically records test duration, ensuring compliance with standardized immersion conditions.
