Probe A is a 50 mm sphere. Probe B is a knurled, jointed test finger measuring 12 mm. Probes C and D are straight rods of 2.5 mm and 1.0 mm. Every probe features a stop face that limits how far it can travel into an opening. Qualitest provides the set to testing laboratories, safety engineers, and compliance teams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an access probe, build quality counts for more than the list of dimensions suggests. A probe that flexes, wears at the tip, or loses the geometry of its stop face delivers results that cannot be repeated between operators or between laboratories. The Quali-IPX™ TPS combines acetal resin bodies with stainless or hardened steel elements, so working surfaces keep their size through repeated insertion cycles. Handle dimensions are uniform across probes A, C, and D, at 10 mm in diameter and 100 mm in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccess verification complements water ingress testing instead of replacing it. The first characteristic numeral describes what can reach hazardous parts, while the second describes what water can enter. Teams establishing an IP code capability frequently begin with access probes, because they need no water supply, no drainage, and no dedicated floor space. The set can be used at a bench or next to a production line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIP Test Probe Set (IP1X-IP4X) - Quali-IPX™ TPS Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quali-IPX™ TPS suits any situation in which a product standard requires verification against access to hazardous parts.

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","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/es\/products\/ip-test-probe-set-ip1x-ip4x","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
