Faqs:
  • What standards does this IPX8 immersion test equipment comply with?
    This equipment is designed to conform to the IEC 60529:2013 standard, specifically for IPX8 waterproof testing, ensuring it meets international requirements for verifying product immersion resistance.
  • How is the pressure controlled and displayed during the test?
    Pressure is manually adjusted and managed via a touchscreen display, which allows for precise pressure setting and real-time monitoring. The adjustment range is from atmospheric pressure up to 500 kPa, corresponding to water depths of 1 to 50 meters.
  • What safety features are included to protect the equipment and operator?
    The chamber includes a spring-loaded safety relief valve, pressure switch protection that automatically vents at 550 kPa, and program-controlled shutdown if pressure exceeds set limits. An alarm sound notifies the operator of any issues, ensuring safe operation.
  • What are the power and environmental requirements for using this test chamber?
    It requires AC 220-240V, 50Hz±10% power with a dedicated 16A circuit breaker. The operating environment should be between 15°C to 35°C, with relative humidity of 25% to 75% RH and atmospheric pressure from 86 kPa to 106 kPa.
