IPX5, IPX6 and Optional IPX6K Test Conditions
| Test Level | Nozzle Diameter | Water Flow | Approx. Pressure | Spray Distance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPX5 | 6.3 mm | 12.5 L/min ±5% | 30 kPa | 2.5–3.0 m |
| IPX6 | 12.5 mm | 100 L/min ±5% | 100 kPa | 2.5–3.0 m |
| Optional IPX6K | 6.3 mm | 75 L/min ±5% | 1000 kPa | 2.5–3.0 m |
For IPX5 and IPX6 testing, the test duration is normally calculated at 1 minute per square metre of enclosure surface area, with a minimum duration of 3 minutes. The test time can be programmed through the PLC.

Options and Support
IPX6K testing, chamber size, power supply, and specimen voltage and current can be customized. CE documentation and third-party calibration certificates are available; additional fees may apply.
A one-year warranty, remote technical support, operating guidance and spare parts support are provided.
Looking for an Open-Type Option?
For large, fixed or irregularly shaped specimens, consider open-type IPX5 IPX6 water jet test equipment. Its handheld nozzle provides greater operating flexibility when a suitable waterproof test area and drainage system are available.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What tests can the IPX5 IPX6 water jet test chamber perform?
The chamber supports IEC 60529 IPX5 and IPX6 water jet testing. An ISO 20653 IPX6K configuration is available as an option.
2. What are the differences between IPX5, IPX6 and IPX6K testing?
IPX5 uses a 6.3 mm nozzle at 12.5 L/min ±5%, while IPX6 uses a 12.5 mm nozzle at 100 L/min ±5%. Optional IPX6K testing uses a 6.3 mm nozzle at 75 L/min ±5% and approximately 1000 kPa.
3. How are the nozzle movement, water flow and test time controlled?
The operator can select fixed spraying or automatic vertical oscillation. Water flow is regulated automatically, and the test time can be programmed through the PLC.
4. Can energized specimens be tested?
Yes. Energized specimen power is included as standard, with customizable voltage and current.
5. What certificates and after-sales support are available?
CE documentation and third-party calibration certificates are available; additional fees may apply. The equipment includes a one-year warranty, remote technical support, operating guidance and spare parts support.
