IPX1-IPX9K Waterproof Test Solutions | SZBONAD Custom IPX3/IPX4 Brass Nozzle Guide

The Science of Waterproof Validation: From Drops to High-Pressure Jets

Water ingress is the #1 cause of electronics failure. SZBONAD’s Full-Range IP Testing Systems – from IPX1 (vertical drips) to IPX9K (180° steam jets) – deliver laboratory-grade compliance for global manufacturers. Our flagship Upgraded Brass Handheld IPX3/IPX4 Test Nozzle (BND-UBTN) redefines portable validation for splash-prone environments.

IPX3 vs. IPX4 Testing: Critical Differences

ParameterIPX3 TestIPX4 Test
Water Exposure60° angled sprayOmnidirectional splashing
Simulated ScenarioHeavy rain (10L/min)Splashes from any direction
Nozzle Specs121 holes (Ø0.5mm) at 78° mirror angleRemovable shields for 360° coverage
ComplianceIEC 60529IEC 60529

SZBONAD’s Precision Solution:

▶️ Smart Flow Control: Digital flow meter ensures exact 10L/min ±5% for both tests
▶️ Military Brass Nozzle: 121 laser-drilled holes prevent clogging and ensure consistent droplet size (0.5mm)
▶️ 1-Second Mode Switch: Slide shields to convert between IPX3 (60° spray) and IPX4 (omni-splash)
