What is IPX2 IP rating and what equipment do you need to do IPX2 waterproof test?

Image
IPX2 is a grade that indicates the amount of protection offered against water intrusion in electronic and electrical goods. This rating was specified and established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) . The protection against water dripping off of a product is defined by the IPX2 standard when the product is tilted at an angle of 15 degrees from its usual position. This indicates that the product need to continue to be secured from water pouring off of it even when it is tipped at an angle of fifteen degrees. You will need the following items in order to carry out an IPX2 waterproof test successfully: Drip Box: A drip box is a container that is used to manage the pace and amount of water that is dripping onto the product that is being tested. This container also houses the product that is being tested. Drip Rate Controller: A drip rate controller is a device that is used to control the amount of water that drips onto a product by varying the flow rate. Inclinati...

What are the differences between IPX1 and IPX2 waterproof level tests?

Image
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) developed the IPX1 and IPX2 waterproof level tests in order to determine how well electronic and electrical equipment are protected against the introduction of water. Depending on the results of these tests, an object may be determined to be waterproof or not waterproof. The key feature that distinguishes the IPX1 and IPX2 waterproof level testing from one another is the intensity and duration of the water seeping and dripping that is performed during the tests. The IPX1 waterproof test entails the product being subjected to a steady stream of water being poured over it for a duration of 10 minutes. The IPX1 test is meant to ensure that a product can withstand a certain amount of water dropping onto it without allowing any of that water to penetrate the device's inner workings. The IPX1 test is designed to ensure that a product can pass this test. This is the most important thing that you need to get out of the exam. The I...
