Ingress Protection (IP) Testing in Surat

Product Description

IP, standing for an Ingress Protection is often found in the form of a table. An IP rating is a measure of an enclosure or cases ability to resist items entering it. This could be large items such as a hand, or small items such as dust, or even water. If you would like IP ratings explained in full, this blog will provide you with all the information you need. Otherwise known as Ingress Protection. An IP certification rating table or chart, has been constructed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for international use. EN 60529 is the subsequent British standard. IP Ratings are classified by categorical codes. These, in turn, summarise the scale of protection offered from estranged articles such as, substantial objects, dirt and moisture. How the Coding Works, The two digits of IP ratings explained, The IEC standard 60529 provides you with a more detailed guide than more generic marketing terms often applied when talking about water resistance. This means you can determine the exact levels of protection against moisture. Instead of an item simply being waterproof. An IP rating is, in summary, a two digit code. The first digit establishes the level of protection against intrusion of foreign bodies. The second the resistance against moisture intrusion. Together, this informs you of precise the level of protection that will be offered by the specific case or enclosure. Any product with an IP rating must withstand an assortment of tests. These tests determine the items efficiency in a range of circumstances. Ultimately, an IP rating allows to you be able to make an educated choice regarding the appropriateness of the products suitability for your specific application. Detailed information on IP rating classifications, Below, which specify what each digit in the IP level relates to.0,No protection.1,Objects greater than 50mm,Protects from large parts of the body such as the back of the hand but, will not protect deliberate contact with body parts.2,Objects greater than 12.5 mm, Protects against fingers and objects of a similar size to the fingers.3,Objects greater than 2.5mm,Tools and thick cables are included in this level.4,Objects greater than 1 mm, Includes most wires, screws and large ants or small insects.5,Dust protected, Some protection from dust as long as its not exposed to a large quantity,6,Dust tight A vacuum must be applied and will protect against contact of dust. Designation of additional information, In addition to the tables above, the IEC also make use of additional letters to provide further related information. This information details the protection of the device. A breakdown of these letters and their meanings are as follows, F, Oil resistance, H, High voltage device, M, Device moving during water test, S, Device moving during water test, W, Weather conditions. All electrical devices that have an IP rating will have a two digit rating as we mentioned before.1. IP68, If a device has a rating of IP68, for example, the device will be dust tight and protected against long periods of immersion in water under pressure. This example is both dust tight and watertight according to the standards set up in the IP rating.2. IP34, Lets look at another example, how about IP34.This device would be protected against larger solid objects, something over 2.5mm, and protected against water sprayed from all direction. With this rating, the device would most likely need to be in some sort of enclosure because the solids protection is only against large objects.3. IP61 Lets look at a final example, IP61.Here there is full dust protection but the only liquid protection is for vertically falling drops of water.
