A perforated drip plate runs the vertical drop exposures required for IPX1 and IPX2. A semicircular oscillating tube fitted with 0.4 mm bore nozzles covers the IPX3 and IPX4 spray and splash conditions. The working volume accommodates watches, smartphones, tablets, battery packs, motor parts, and electronic components, and a single touchscreen controls both test modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaboratories that perform IP testing on small products seldom have the floor space for two separate installations. The Quali-IPX™ WTC solves this by housing both IEC 60529 water test geometries inside one stainless steel chamber. Qualitest supplies the oscillating tube in four radii, from R200 mm to R800 mm, so the arc can be matched to the specimen instead of dwarfing it. Smaller radii also lower water consumption, because flow depends on the number of active nozzles along the arc.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA recirculating water circuit sends test water back to the supply tank rather than to a drain. This keeps consumption low over repeated cycles and holds splash within the chamber, allowing the unit to operate in a general laboratory instead of a dedicated wet room. Nozzles can be removed by hand for cleaning, and the turntable height can be adjusted to position the specimen correctly for each test geometry.

Vertically falling drops define numerals 1 and 2: a perforated plate forms drops that fall under gravity across a grid above the specimen. Sprayed and splashing water define numerals 3 and 4: nozzles direct pressurized jets along an arc. The severity ladder is, in effect, a momentum ladder. Drops arrive slowly and straight down, while jets arrive quickly and at an angle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrop testing is governed by precipitation rate rather than velocity. Water gathers at each nozzle tip until surface tension is overcome, and technicians adjust supply pressure until the collected rainfall reaches 1.0 mm per minute over the specimen footprint. Rotating the specimen through the drop field averages out local variation across the plate. IPX1 is run with the specimen upright. IPX2 repeats the exposure with the specimen tilted 15° in four positions, reaching vents and seams that a flat orientation would shield.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpray testing is governed by impingement angle instead. The oscillating tube is a semicircle drilled with 0.4 mm holes and positioned so its center of curvature coincides with the specimen, meaning every nozzle aims at the same point regardless of where it sits on the arc. IPX3 sweeps the tube 60° to either side of vertical, while IPX4 opens the nozzle row across the full semicircle and swings through nearly 360°. Water then reaches gasket faces and cable entries from below, an angle that vertical drops never test.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIPX1-IPX4 Waterproof Test Chamber - Quali-IPX™ WTC Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-style-align-center\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuali-IPX™ WTC\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTest Capability\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIPX1 and IPX2 (drip box); IPX3 and IPX4 (oscillating tube)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOscillating Tube Radius Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eR200, R400, R600, R800 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpray Nozzle Bore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ0.4 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpray Nozzles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemovable for cleaning and replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChamber Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWater System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRecirculating circuit\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurntable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eControl System\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTouchscreen controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpecimen Scope\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSmall electrical and electronic products\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEC 60529, Clauses 14.2.1 through 14.2.4 (IPX1 to IPX4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53384372158775,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/ipx1-ipx4-waterproof-test-chambe.webp?v=1792585121"},{"product_id":"ipx1-ipx4-waterproof-turntable-100-kg","title":"IPX1-IPX4 Waterproof Turntable (100 kg)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eIPX1-IPX4 Waterproof Turntable (100 kg) - Quali-IPX™ WT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quali-IPX™ WT IPX1-IPX4 waterproof turntable moves a specimen through water ingress testing at a controlled rotation speed and tilt angle.

A drip plate or oscillating tube delivers water along one fixed geometry, so a stationary specimen shows the same faces to the same water path throughout the test. Turning the specimen slowly beneath the source brings each side, seam, and vent into the water field in turn. IEC 60529 sets the rotation speed for drip tests at roughly 1 rpm, slow enough for every face to build up meaningful exposure instead of simply passing through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe method also places the specimen off the axis of rotation, with an eccentricity of about 100 mm for drip testing. This offset sends the specimen along a circular path through the drop field rather than leaving its center fixed under a single point, which averages out local variation in the plate above. Deck flatness and drive stability are important here, because a table that wobbles or slows under load moves the exposure away from what the method assumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInclination addresses the second characteristic numeral 2. IPX2 requires the specimen to be tilted 15° from its normal position and tested in four orientations, since tilting opens drainage paths and vent slots that stay protected when the enclosure is level. The Quali-IPX™ WT can be set to any angle from 0° to 15°, so one deck handles both the upright IPX1 test and the tilted IPX2 sequence. Returning the deck to 0° restores the flat orientation used for the spray tests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIPX1-IPX4 Waterproof Turntable (100 kg) - Quali-IPX™ WT Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-style-align-center\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuali-IPX™ WT\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAngle of Inclination\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0° to 15°, adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Specimen Load\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 kg (higher load ratings available on request)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotation Speed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 to 3 rpm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSupported Test Levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIPX1, IPX2, IPX3, IPX4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eReference Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEC 60529, Clauses 14.2.1 through 14.2.4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53384375206199,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/ipx1-ipx4-waterproof-turntable-1.webp?v=1792585314"},{"product_id":"ipx3-ipx4-hand-held-spray-nozzle","title":"IPX3 IPX4 Hand-Held Spray Nozzle","description":"\u003ch2\u003eIPX3 IPX4 Hand-Held Spray Nozzle - Quali-IPX™ SN\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quali-IPX™ SN is a hand-held IPX3 and IPX4 spray nozzle that checks how well an enclosure resists sprayed and splashing water, wherever a technician can reach with a hose.

Both create the same water condition by different means. An oscillating tube sweeps a fixed arc around a specimen that rotates beneath it. A hand-held nozzle works the other way: the operator moves the spray pattern around the enclosure. The standard treats the two results as equivalent and names the nozzle as the preferred choice when a tube cannot wet every part of the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe port pattern is what makes the test work. A center hole, an inner ring, and outer rings of ports spread across a spherical face produce a cone of jets instead of a single stream, so water reaches the specimen from a range of angles at once. Flow is set to roughly 10 L\/min, with delivery pressure held between 50 kPa and 150 kPa, and the gauge at the handle displays this pressure. Together, these two values determine the momentum each jet carries when it strikes the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe shield distinguishes the two test levels. When positioned over the outer ports, it narrows the active pattern so water reaches the specimen only within 60° of vertical, which is the IPX3 condition. Withdrawing the shield opens the full array and lets water arrive from any practicable direction, which is what numeral 4 means by splashing.

Figure 6 defines a hose nozzle that directs a coherent stream at the enclosure, while the operator moves around the specimen to cover every practicable direction. Numeral 5 calls for the 6.3 mm bore at 12.5 L\/min, and numeral 6 calls for the 12.5 mm bore at 100 L\/min. Both are applied at a distance of 2.5 m to 3 m for one minute per square meter of exposed surface, with a minimum duration of three minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBore diameter determines severity. Doubling the bore diameter roughly quadruples the cross-sectional area, and the standard increases flow eightfold across that step, so the numeral 6 stream delivers considerably more mass and momentum to the same seam. This difference explains why an enclosure that passes IPX5 can still fail IPX6, even though the two ratings are only one numeral apart. Changing nozzles instead of throttling a single nozzle keeps each bore at its designed geometry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDelivery rate is the controlled variable, and pressure follows from it. The method directs the operator to adjust supply pressure until flow reaches the target rate, so the gauge on the handle acts as the feedback the operator monitors during the test. A 0 to 1.6 bar range accommodates the roughly 100 kPa that numeral 6 requires, with headroom above it. Shutting off at the handle instead of at the supply allows the operator to pause between faces without losing the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIPX5 IPX6 Water Jet Nozzle Set - Quali-IPX™ JNS Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-style-align-center\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" style=\"width: 100.029%;

Each access probe has a guard behind its working element: a 45 mm baffle plate on probe A, a 50 mm plate on probe B, and 35 mm dam spheres on probes C and D. This face seats against the enclosure surface and sets how deep the probe can travel, which makes insertion depth a characteristic of the probe rather than of operator pressure. Clearance is then evaluated at that fixed depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo distinct tests share the first characteristic numeral, and mixing them up is a common mistake. An object probe checks whether solid foreign bodies are kept out, judged on whether anything penetrates the opening. An access probe checks whether people are kept safe, judged on the clearance between the probe and any hazardous part inside. The Quali-IPX™ TPS covers the access test, which IEC 60529 indexes with additional letters A through D.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProbe B differs from the other three. Its knurled 12 mm finger is jointed, so it bends the way a human finger does and can reach around baffles that would block a rigid rod of the same diameter. An enclosure may pass a straight probe of equal size and still fail probe B once the joints allow it to turn a corner. This behavior explains why the jointed finger appears in more product standards than any other probe in the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIP Test Probe Set (IP1X-IP4X) - Quali-IPX™ TPS Technical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-style-align-center\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuali-IPX™ TPS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProbes Supplied\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (A, B, C, D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional Letters Covered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA, B, C, D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcceptance Criterion\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdequate clearance from hazardous parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProbe Geometry Reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEC 61032\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTest Conditions Reference\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEC 60529, Clause 15.2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCommon Handle Dimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ10 mm, 100 mm length (probes A, C, and D)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProbe Construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-style-align-center\" align=\"center\" border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProbe\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAccess Represented\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTest Element\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStop Face\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProbe A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThe back of the hand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSphere, Ø50 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaffle plate, Ø45 mm, 4 mm thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcetal resin with stainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProbe B\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA finger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKnurled jointed finger, Ø12 mm, 80 mm long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBaffle plate, Ø50 mm, 20 mm thick\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProbe C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA tool\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ2.5 mm, 100 mm long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDam sphere, Ø35 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcetal resin with hardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProbe D\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eA wire\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ1.0 mm, 100 mm long\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDam sphere, Ø35 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcetal resin with hardened steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Qualitest USA LC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53384414396727,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/ip-test-probe-set-ip1x-ip4x76832.webp?v=1792585927"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/collections\/ip-testing-equipment1603512742.webp?v=1792582301","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/es\/collections\/ip-testing-equipment.oembed","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
