IPX3 IPX4 Rain Test Equipment – Customizable IP Testing Equipment
Applicable Standard and Test Principle
The equipment is designed for IPX3 and IPX4 water ingress testing in accordance with IEC 60529.
- IPX3 evaluates protection against spraying water.
- IPX4 evaluates protection against splashing water from different directions.
During testing, the specimen is positioned near the geometric center of the oscillating tube. Water is discharged through the spray holes while the tube moves according to the selected IPX3 or IPX4 test program. The PLC control system manages tube movement, test duration and turntable operation, while the water circuit allows the required flow rate to be monitored and adjusted.
Applications
The equipment can be used for waterproof performance evaluation in industries such as:
- Electrical enclosures and control cabinets
- Indoor and outdoor lighting products
- Household appliances and electronic equipment
- Automotive and motorcycle components
- Industrial control products and electrical components
It is suitable for product development, type testing, manufacturing quality control, factory inspection and laboratory evaluation.
Features
- Open-type structure: Provides easier specimen loading and flexible positioning, particularly for large products and customized mounting arrangements.
- Programmable test control: The PLC control system manages oscillating tube movement, test duration and turntable operation.
- Flexible tube configuration: Standard R800, R1200, R1400 and R1600 oscillating tubes are available, with other sizes configurable for specific test applications.
- Adjustable specimen turntable: The turntable height and rotation speed can be adjusted to position the specimen within the required spray area.
- Controlled water flow: Water flow can be monitored and adjusted according to the selected test level and tube configuration.
- Torque anti-collision protection: If the oscillating tube encounters resistance during operation, the protection mechanism allows it to return to its original position.
- Low-water protection: A water-level float valve controls the water inlet, while the low-water alarm helps prevent the pump from running dry.
- SUS304 construction: The equipment enclosure and specimen turntable are manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel for use in wet testing environments.
- Safety protection: Protection functions include electrical leakage, water shortage and short circuit protection.
About test equipment:
1.Torque anti-collision function:
When the swing pipe encounters resistance from the human body, it will return to its original position.
2.Stainless steel plate manufacturing:
The equipment shell and turntable are all made of SUS304# stainless steel plate, which will not rust after long-term use.
3.Prevent dry running due to lack of water
The water tank is equipped with a water level float valve, which can automatically control the water inlet and has a low water level alarm detection to prevent the water pump from running dry due to lack of water and damaging the equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IPX3 and IPX4 testing?
IPX3 evaluates enclosure protection against spraying water, while IPX4 evaluates protection against splashing water from different directions. The oscillation range, spray coverage and test procedure are set according to the selected test level.
How should the oscillating tube radius be selected?
The tube radius should allow the specimen to be positioned near the geometric center of the tube and remain within the required spray area. Specimen dimensions, mounting method and turntable configuration should be reviewed before selecting the equipment.
Can the oscillating tube size be customized?
Yes. Standard R800, R1200, R1400 and R1600 configurations are available. Other sizes can be designed according to the specimen dimensions and testing requirements.
Can the turntable and specimen fixture be customized?
Yes. The turntable diameter, height range and specimen fixture can be configured according to the specimen size, weight and mounting requirements.
Is this an enclosed IPX3/IPX4 test chamber?
No. This is open-type rain test equipment without an enclosed chamber. It provides easier access for loading large specimens but requires a suitable waterproof test area with drainage.
What site conditions are required?
The installation area should provide adequate operating clearance, drainage, a suitable water supply and the required electrical connection. Site conditions should be confirmed before production.
