SPECIAL RAIN TEST CHAMBER FOR DEGREES: IPX3,4,4K, 6K & 9K ACCORDING WITH ISO 20653, CLL-2700e

In the automotive sector, there are many elements that have to withstand heavy rain or high pressure water spray when cleaning vehicles, such as luminaires. In this case, the correct functioning and tightness of the luminaires must be guaranteed after extreme water spray conditions. The ISO 20653 standard establishes a series of rain tests for electrical enclosures, classified according to the type of test into degrees of protection. In addition to the IEC 60529 tests, this standard adds specific codes with the letter K, which describe special requirements for road vehicles.

The CLL-2700e chamber has been developed to comply with the ISO20653 standard, for tests with IPX,3 IPX4 (rain arc), IPX4 (high pressure rain arc), IPX6K (high speed and high pressure water jet) as well as IPX9K (high pressure and high temperature water). With a volume of 2700 litres (1400 x 1400 x 1400 mm), it allows testing on luminaires of various sizes.

TIGHTNESS TEST CHAMBERS, PROTECTION STANDARDS AGAINST EXTERNAL AGENTS

The standards for protection against external agents (dust or rain) provide information on the degree of protection of electronic enclosures against the introduction of external elements, such as LED lights in vehicles. For this purpose, each manufacturer has its own standard, but it is always based on a general standard such as IEC 60529. 

Within this standard, Dycometal manufactures different chamber volumes to adapt to any customer’s needs, such as the CP-512 chamber with dimensions of 800 x 800 x 800 mm, which allows to carry out dust tightness tests for medium to large sized samples. Also available in the Arizona test version.

PRODUCT BULLETIN: CP-2500, Dust Test Chamber for Airbags

The airbags, are one of the most important safety elements within the automotive sector, thanks to them many lives are saved. But to arrive at a product that guarantees the safety of the driver, this equipment must be subjected to the strictest environmental tests. One of these tests to be carried out is the dust resistance, where it will be ensured that the airbags have an adequate sealing against the entry to the dust particles, degree of IP protection.

The thermal test chamber, CP-2500e, has enough space to carry out the leak test for several airbags at the same time in parallel. The chamber is configurable in its parameters to be able to modify the control according to the regulations to be tested. The chamber is prepared for various tests from different manufacturers, so that a single chamber can be used by multiple manufacturers.

DYCOMETAL CLL-16188Me - RAIN TEST CHAMBER

Rain test is done over different components to evaluate the IP degree protection,according standard IEC 60529, in the rain test chambers

Feature Nº.	Protection Type	Equipment
IP-X1	Vertical fall of drops of water	Drip box, gyratory platform
IP-X2	Waterfalls with a 15 degrees maximum tilt	Drip box, static platform
IP-X3	Water falls as rain	Oscillatory pipe or sprinkler head
IP-X4	Water projections	Spray with fix/swivel, gyratory platform.
IP-X5	Water jets	Spray with nozzle Ø 6.3 mm
IP-X6	Strong jets of water	Spray with nozzle 12.5 mm Ø
IP-X7	emporary immersion in water	Bath immersion

To big lights, DYCOMETAL, has developed a special equipment to do the rain test The equipment is manufactured by a drip box (IPX1 and IPX2), two rain arcs and showers (IPX3 and IPX4). We have provided  also the use of the circuits for 5 and 6 degree test. The control of the systems comes commanded by a powerful microprocessor, which regulate wáter spray time, the measure of the wáter flow in l/min, and electrical feed to the sample by the connection box in the rotating plate.

MIL-STD-810 Method 506.4, RAIN TESTRAIN TEST CHAMBER

The Rain tightness tests are performed to different components to evaluate the IP degree of protection, in the Rain test Chambers.

MIL-STD-810 test method in its method 506.4, to evaluate any element to be exposed to rain, spraying or dripping water during storage or transport operation.

Its goal is to determine:

-      The effectiveness of covers, housings and seals to prevent water penetration into the material

-       The ability of the material to satisfy the requirements before and after exposure to water

-       Determine whether there is any physical deterioration of the material caused by rain

-       The effectiveness of any system of water extraction 

-       The effectiveness of protection offered by the material.

MIL-STD-810 Method 510.4, Dust and Sand Test

The dust tightness tests are performed to different components to evaluate the IP degree of protection, in the  Dust Chambers.

MIL-STD-810 test method in its method 510.4, set the test parameters to assess any mechanical, optical, electrical, electronic, electromechanical and electrochemical element which may be exposed during use or storage in dusty atmospheres or sand.

This standard establishes two parts:

 •  Small particles of dust (˂149 microns) to assess the system's resistance to dust against obstructions, cracks, etc. 

 •    Blowing sand (150-850 microns) to evaluate the systems and determine whether the material can be stored and operated under conditions of blowing sand without degrading performance.
