A single jet handle fitted with a pressure gauge and an adjustable flow valve accepts either nozzle. The 6.3 mm nozzle performs IPX5 testing, and the 12.5 mm nozzle performs IPX6 testing. Both nozzles are made from stainless steel, which preserves the bore geometry that the test relies on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabs that already have a regulated water supply need the nozzles, not an additional test console. The Quali-IPX™ JNS attaches to your existing supply through a hose connector, and the operator controls flow and shut-off right at the handle. Qualitest also offers the set as the hand-held component of a full jet test system for teams setting up a station from the ground up. In either case, the wetted geometry follows the requirements in Figure 6 of IEC 60529.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater jet testing is done on the move rather than from a fixed position. During a test lasting at least three minutes, the operator aims the stream at the enclosure from every practicable direction while keeping a 2.5 m to 3 m distance. With the gauge and valve in hand, conditions can be corrected on the spot, with no second person needed at a supply panel. One technician can therefore carry out the entire sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIPX5 IPX6 Water Jet Nozzle Set - Quali-IPX™ JNS Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Quali-IPX™ JNS is a good fit for any team verifying an IPX5 or IPX6 rating where a water supply is already available.

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%; height: 196px;\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eParameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eQuali-IPX™ JNS\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eSupported Test Levels\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eIPX5, IPX6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eNozzle Diameter (IPX5)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eØ6.3 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eNozzle Diameter (IPX6)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eØ12.5 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eNozzle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eStainless steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003ePressure Gauge Range\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003e0 to 1.6 bar (0 to 160 kPa)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eFlow Regulation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eAdjustable valve with shut-off, mounted on the jet handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eNozzle Mounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eInterchangeable, assembles to a common jet handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eWater Connection\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eHose connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"height: 19.6px;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 28.3508%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eReference Standard\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 70.9235%; height: 19.6px;\"\u003eIEC 60529, Clauses 14.2.5 and 14.2.6, Figure 6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIncluded Components\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\u003eItem\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDescription\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJet handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCarries the pressure gauge and the flow adjustment valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIPX5 jet nozzle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ6.3 mm stainless steel, for the numeral 5 test\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIPX6 jet nozzle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ12.5 mm stainless steel, for the numeral 6 test\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePressure gauge\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0 to 1.6 bar, mounted at the handle for reading during the test\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFlow regulation valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdjusts delivery rate and shuts off supply at the handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHose connector\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConnects the set to the laboratory water supply\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":53384400601399,"sku":null,"price":100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0786\/1859\/1543\/files\/ipx5-ipx6-water-jet-nozzle-set21.webp?v=1792585746","url":"https:\/\/qualitest.us\/products\/ipx5-ipx6-water-jet-nozzle-set","provider":"Qualitest USA LC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
