IPX9 TEST HIGH-PRESSURE SPRAY SYSTEM

The Montecs High-pressure spray system to perform IPX9 and IPX9K comply with IEC 60529, ISO20653 and DIN 40050-9.  The DIN 40050-9 is required for Degrees of Protection (IP CODE) of road vehicles that verify the protection against water and foreign objects. The IEC60529 article 14.2.9 uses a similar DIN 4005-9 IP rating.

Both tests are similar in method and the test equipment used. The main differences are described as follow: 

• IPX9 - protection against high pressure and temperature water jets, as per the IEC 60529.

• IPX9k - Protection against high pressure or steam jet cleaning, as per the DIN 40050-9

Both test methods IEC or DIN, require a high-pressure water blast heated to 80C (176F). The sample should be positioned in a turntable that rotates at 5RPM, positioning all faces to the jets positioned in 4 positions: 0, 30, 60, 90 degrees. Each fan jet blasts the sample for 30 seconds in sequence. 

Montecs did develop some new features to facilitate the test performance in the samples bigger than 250mm:

• The turntable rotates at 5RPM

• The turntable has a levelling in the Z-axis - 350mm.

• The turntable has a function to turn that sample in 4 steps of 45 degrees.

• The turntable can be tilt to guarantee that the sample can be tested in a perpendicular position.

• The equipment is eco-friendly, it comes with a water container for drainage and filtering system that allowed to reuse of the water for up to 10 sequential tests.
