LIB offers a comprehensive range of water spray test chambers designed to evaluate protection levels IPX1, IPX2, IPX3, and IPX4 against dripping water and splashing conditions. These systems comply with international standards such as IEC 60529, MIL-STD-810, and other widely recognized testing specifications.
The IPX1–IPX4 water spray test chamber provides accurate control of critical parameters. Drip intensities for IPX1 and IPX2 testing can be maintained at 1 mm/min, while oscillating spray tubes for IPX3 and IPX4 operate with swing angles from ±60° to ±180°. The integrated turntable rotates up to 1 rpm to ensure uniform exposure, and nozzle flow rates are calibrated at 0.07 L/min per hole. With these precisely controlled conditions, manufacturers can conduct reliable and repeatable waterproof tests on electronic devices, automotive components, and outdoor equipment, simulating real-world rain and splash environments.
In addition to IEC 60529, LIB water spray chambers are also compatible with a variety of international testing standards, including ASTM D3451, ASTM D4329, ASTM D4587, ASTM D4799, SAE J2020, and ISO 20653. This broad standard compliance allows laboratories and manufacturers across different industries to perform certified rain and splash resistance testing with confidence.

The IPX1 IPX2 IPX3 IPX4 Water Spray Test Chamber is designed to perform reliable waterproof and rain resistance testing according to IEC 60529 and other international standards. The system integrates a water circulation structure that reduces water consumption while maintaining stable spray performance through a network of precision water pipelines.
A built-in rotating turntable ensures that water is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the test specimen. The automatic water supply system maintains a continuous flow during testing, enabling fully automated operation without manual intervention. In addition, a waterproof power connector installed inside the test chamber allows electronic samples to be powered during testing, enabling real-time functional verification under simulated rain or splash conditions.
This testing equipment is widely used for evaluating waterproof performance of electronics, automotive components, lighting products, outdoor equipment, and electrical enclosures.
Advantages of LIB IPX1 IPX2 IPX3 IPX4 Water Spray Test Chamber
1. Integrated IPX1–IPX4 Waterproof Testing in One Chamber: The chamber combines both drip testing (IPX1/IPX2) and oscillating spray testing (IPX3/IPX4) in a single enclosure. This integrated design allows multiple levels of water ingress protection testing within one piece of equipment, helping laboratories reduce floor space while increasing testing efficiency.
2. Automatic Water Filtration and Recycling: An intelligent water recycling system filters and reuses water during operation, significantly reducing water consumption. Automatic refilling ensures uninterrupted testing cycles and supports long-duration automated operation, improving laboratory productivity.
3. Fully Compliant with IEC 60529 Waterproof Test Requirements: The system meets international IP waterproof testing standards and provides precise control of testing parameters:
IPX1: Vertical drip test at 1 mm/min for at least 10 minutes using a rotating platform at 1 rpm.
IPX2: Same drip intensity with the sample tilted at 15°, tested in four positions for a total of 10 minutes.
IPX3: Oscillating spray tube with ±60° movement, φ0.4 mm nozzle diameter and 50 mm spacing, delivering 0.07 L/min per nozzle.
IPX4: Extended oscillation angle up to ±180°, simulating more severe splash exposure.
4. Flexible Sample Placement for Various Products: The internal turntable is height adjustable and includes a 15° tilt plate specifically designed for IPX2 testing. The platform supports samples up to 50 kg and can be customized to accommodate larger or irregularly shaped test specimens.
5. Corrosion-Resistant SUS304 Stainless Steel Structure: The entire chamber is constructed from high-quality SUS304 stainless steel. This material provides excellent corrosion resistance and long-term durability under high humidity, continuous water spray, and demanding laboratory environments.
6. Precision Multi-Angle Spray Systems:
IPX1/IPX2: Stainless steel drip box with evenly distributed holes for controlled vertical water dripping.
IPX3/IPX4: Oscillating spray tube with φ0.4 mm precision nozzles arranged at uniform intervals, reproducing angled rainfall and splash conditions.
7. Observation Window with LED Lighting: A large transparent viewing window with built-in LED illumination allows operators to observe test progress in real time. The manual wiper maintains clear visibility during water spray tests, making inspection and experiment recording easier.
8. Waterproof Power Supply for Live Testing: The chamber includes a sealed power interface that enables test samples to operate during the waterproof test. This feature allows engineers to monitor product functionality while exposed to simulated rain, helping detect failures more accurately.

Operation Guide for IPX1 IPX2 IPX3 IPX4 Water Spray Test Chamber
Before starting the test, ensure the water tank is filled and all pipes and connections are secure. For IPX1, place the sample on the rotating turntable and expose it to a vertical drip rate of 1 mm/min for 10 minutes. For IPX2, tilt the sample 15° and test in four directions, each for 2.5 minutes, maintaining the same drip rate. For IPX3, start the oscillating tube with a ±60° swing. Water sprays through 0.4 mm nozzles spaced 50 mm apart, with a flow rate of 0.07 L/min per nozzle for at least 10 minutes. For IPX4, increase the swing angle to ±180° to simulate splashing water from multiple directions. During the test, observe the sample through the viewing window and record any changes in performance or water ingress.
