Can your product survive dripping water, tilted dripping, spraying, or splashing from any direction? LIB Splash Water Test Chamber is engineered to verify IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, and IPX4 ingress protection ratings in a single piece of equipment, following IEC 60529, GB/T 4208, GB/T 4942.1, and ISO 20653. It simulates real-world exposure to vertical drip, angled drip, directed spray, and omnidirectional splash — helping you confirm enclosure, seal, and gasket performance before products reach the field.
Depending on the rating being tested, the chamber uses either an oscillating tube assembly (for IPX1/IPX2) or a fixed/handheld spray nozzle system on a rotating turntable (for IPX3/IPX4). Water flow rate, oscillation or spray angle, nozzle distance, and test duration are all precisely controlled and monitored, so results are consistent and traceable.

Q: What's the difference between IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, and IPX4?
A: They differ in water direction and coverage: IPX1 is vertical dripping only, IPX2 adds a 15° tilt in four directions, IPX3 is directed spray up to 60° from vertical, and IPX4 is splashing from any direction up to 180°.
Q: Can I test multiple IPX levels with one chamber?
A: Yes. The chamber can be configured with both the oscillating tube assembly and the spray nozzle system, allowing you to test IPX1 through IPX4 on the same equipment.
Q: How long does a typical test cycle take?
A: Duration depends on the standard and IPX level being tested — typically 5–10 minutes per test, per the relevant standard's requirements.
Q: Do you provide testing protocol development?
A: Yes. Our team assists with protocol creation based on applicable standards and your specific validation requirements.
Q: What maintenance does the chamber require?
A: Regular nozzle and drainage system cleaning, periodic flow-rate calibration. We provide detailed maintenance schedules and training with every installation.
