In industrial production, especially for electronic and electrical products used outdoors, dust and water resistance are critical. This capability is usually evaluated by the enclosure protection level of automated instruments and equipment, also known as the IP code. The IP code is the abbreviation of the international protection level, which is used to evaluate the protection performance of the equipment enclosure, mainly covering the two categories of dust and water resistance. Its testing machine is an indispensable and important testing instrument in the process of researching and exploring new materials, new processes, new technologies and new structures. It plays an important role in the effective use of materials, improving processes, improving product quality, reducing costs, and ensuring product safety and reliability.
The IP dust and water resistance level is a standard for the protection capability of the device shell established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), usually referred to as the "IP level". Its English name is "Ingress Protection" or "International Protection" level. It consists of two numbers, the first number indicates the dust resistance level, and the second number indicates the water resistance level. For example: the protection level is IP65, IP is the marking letter, the number 6 is the first marking number, and 5 is the second marking number. The first marking number indicates the dust resistance level, and the second marking number indicates the water resistance protection level.
In addition, when the level of protection required is higher than the level represented by the above characteristic numerals, the extended scope will be expressed by adding additional letters after the first two digits, and it is also necessary to meet the requirements of these additional letters.
