LIB Sand and Dust Test Chambers offer a dependable way to confirm that products can withstand dust intrusion when subjected to challenging environmental conditions. These systems are purpose-built to satisfy IP-rated dust ingress testing under IEC 60529 (IP5X/IP6X) and ISO 20653 (IP5KX/IP6KX), with additional configuration options available for specialized military and sector-specific requirements, such as MIL-STD-810H.
Beyond these core standards, LIB chambers are designed to accommodate a broad spectrum of international test protocols, including IEC 60529, ISO 20653, IEC 60068-2-68, MIL-STD-810H, ISO 16750-4, LV 124, and SAE J575—making them a versatile choice across automotive, electronics, aerospace, and industrial applications. For projects with unique needs, customized configurations can be arranged to handle varying specimen sizes, test methodologies, and specific performance criteria.

|---|---|
LIB offers a broad lineup of Sand and Dust Test Chambers designed to accommodate products of varying scale across multiple industries. Chamber volumes span from 400 L up to 3000 L, with both off-the-shelf models and custom-built options available to handle different specimen sizes and testing scenarios. A dust-sealed power outlet built into the interior allows test samples to remain electrically powered and operational throughout dust exposure cycles.
Key Benefits of the Sand and Dust Test Chamber
1. Realistic Dust Exposure Conditions: By keeping dust concentration regulated within a 2–4 kg/m³ range, the chamber generates a consistent, repeatable dust environment. Using a standard particle size of 50 μm alongside a 75 μm mesh screen, it closely mirrors the dust penetration scenarios called for in ingress protection testing.
2. Adaptable Capacity Options: The lineup includes multiple chamber sizes—such as 800 L and 1000 L variants with differing internal dimensions—making it possible to test everything from small electronic devices to bulkier automotive or industrial parts. A built-in 16 A dust-protected outlet allows samples to be functionally tested while exposed to dust.
3. Even Dust Dispersion and Straightforward Handling: A vertical airflow design keeps dust circulating evenly across the test space and limits particle buildup over time. Operators benefit from a wiper-equipped viewing window, interior lighting, an electromagnetic door latch, and a cable pass-through port, all of which make monitoring and running tests more convenient.
4. Sturdy Build and Added Safety Features: The interior of LIB's dust chambers is constructed from SUS304 stainless steel, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and ability to hold up under prolonged use. The electromagnetic locking mechanism adds a layer of operational safety, while noise output stays at or below 65 dBA, keeping the lab environment comfortable to work in.
5. Smart, Networked Control System: A full-color touchscreen controller with Ethernet and PC connectivity gives users the ability to configure test settings, track operations remotely, and manage dust circulation, vacuum function, and heating elements. Test runs can be scheduled for durations up to 99 hours and 59 minutes, supporting precise and dependable testing outcomes.

Operate Guide of the Sand and Dust Test Chamber
The LIB Sand Test Chamber should be set up on flat, stable ground in a location where ambient conditions stay within 5°C–35°C and relative humidity remains at or below 85%. Before running a test, verify that the unit is correctly plugged into a power source and that the dust-sealed outlet inside is working as expected. Using the programmable color LCD touchscreen, input the target dust concentration (within the 2–4 kg/m³ range), define how long the test should run, and set the appropriate temperature parameters. Next, position the specimens firmly on the rotating platform or designated sample fixture, then close and secure the electromagnetic door before initiating the test cycle. Throughout the run, the interior lighting and observation window make it possible to visually check on progress in real time, while the vacuum and air circulation systems work together to keep dust dispersed evenly across the chamber. Once testing wraps up, shut down the unit, take out the specimens with care, and follow the cleaning and maintenance steps outlined in the user manual to keep the chamber running smoothly and extend its operational life.
