IPX1-IPX9 Waterproof Test EquipmentWaterproof Test Equipment
IPx7/IPx8 Waterproof Rating Tester
This equipment is specially designed to evaluate the waterproof performance of products in accordance with IPX7 and IPX8 standards according to IEC 60529. It is mainly applicable to the waterproof testing of luminaires, household appliances, electrical equipment, communication cabinets and other products, capable of providing a water depth of more than 1 meter to test the protective performance of product enclosures. Compliant with international standards, the equipment meets various testing requirements.
IEC60529 IPX8 Pressurized Water Immersion Test Equipment
Overview:
As a core environmental reliability testing equipment, our IEC60529 IPX8 Pressurized Water Immersion Test Chamber is designed to simulate deep-water submerged environments and conduct strict waterproof performance verification on various products. As per IEC60529:1989+A1:1999 international standards, it helps enterprises complete product R&D optimization, quality inspection, and certification testing efficiently.
Application:
Electronics, LED lighting, electrical enclosures, auto & motorcycle parts, underwater sensors, outdoor devices and more
Features:
- High-Strength Stainless Steel Tank:
- Made of food-grade SUS304 stainless steel with integrated arc welding, sturdy, corrosion-resistant, easy to clean and long service life; tank thickness ranges from 3mm to 6mm for high-pressure resistance.
- Precise Pressure Control:
- Optional manual/automatic pressure regulation. Manual models adopt 100mm high-precision pressure gauge (1.6 grade); automatic models feature ±0.002MPa control accuracy for stable and accurate water pressure output.
- Intelligent Timing System:
- 0-999 minutes adjustable test duration, auto-stop pressurization and auto-exhaust function when time ends, safe and convenient for sample taking.
- Equipped with inlet/drain valves and 5m water pipe; movable brake casters for flexible relocation; multiple safety protections (pressure relief, anti-leakage) to ensure operator safety.

FAQ:
Why IPX8 Testing Matters?
IPX8 is the highest waterproof rating defined by IEC60529, meaning products can withstand continuous pressurized water immersion without harmful water ingress (unlike IPX7, which only supports temporary 1m immersion). IPX8 Water Tank Test Equipment for Continuous Immersion Testing reproduces deep-sea pressure environments, ensuring products meet strict waterproof standards for underwater, outdoor and harsh working scenarios.
Customization Service
We support tailored solutions to meet diverse testing demands:
- Custom pressure & depth range
- Larger/smaller tank volume & dimension
- Manual / automatic control mode switching
- Custom test environment parameters
What's the difference between IPX8 and IPX9 testing?
Both are waterproof ratings under IEC 60529/ISO 20653, but they protect against completely different water environments—one for submersion, the other for high-pressure & high-temperature spray.
| | |
|---|
| Continuous pressurized water immersion (static underwater) | High-temperature, high-pressure water jetting/steam cleaning (dynamic spray) |
| Submerged in water at a specified depth & pressure (usually >1m, long duration) | 80°C hot water sprayed at 80–100 bar pressure, from 4 angles (0°/30°/60°/90°) |
| Still, ambient-temperature water | Fast, forceful, hot water jets |
| Underwater devices, undersea sensors, pool/ marine equipment | Industrial tools, automotive parts, outdoor enclosures, steam-cleanable products |
| Defined by manufacturer-specified depth/pressure (no fixed universal value) | Strict standardized test parameters (temp, pressure, angle, distance) |
Quick Takeaway
- Choose IPX8 testing for products that need to stay underwater safely
- Choose IPX9/IPX9K testing for products exposed to high-pressure washing, steam, or hot water spray
