IPX5 / IPX6 Water Jet Test Method
Step 1: Water Supply Connection
Connect the nozzle set to the water supply system. Ensure the water source is clean, clear, and free of impurities, then fully open the water supply.
Step 2: Start Spraying and Adjust Flow
Open the valve to begin spraying. Adjust the flow meter valve to control and stabilize the water flow according to the required test level.
Step 3: Set Standard Flow Rate
Configure the water flow rate based on the test grade and replace the corresponding nozzle and flow meter when switching between test levels:
- IPX5 Test: Water flow rate 12.5 L/min ± 5%.
- IPX6 Test: Water flow rate 100 L/min ± 5%.
Ensure that the appropriate nozzle and flow meter are used for each protection level to maintain IEC 60529 compliance.
Step 4: Perform the Water Jet Test
Direct the nozzle toward the test sample and spray water from all practical directions around the enclosure.
- Test Duration: ≥ 1 minute per square meter of enclosure surface area (excluding mounting surfaces), minimum 3 minutes.
- Nozzle Distance to Enclosure: 2.5–3 meters.
