| Inlet and drain pipe diameters | After the user has planned the placement of the equipment, install
the air switch next to it in advance, and install the water inlet
pipe and drain pipe below the air switch. Water inlet pipe (4”
pipes, there must be valves), drain pipes (4” pipes, should be
installed on the ground) |

| Water level pipe | The water level gauge on the equipment is to see the height of the
water level pipe, which is convenient to know the water level in
the chamber. |
Equipment Features for IPX8 Continuous Immersion Test Chamber
1. The pressure vessel is made of 304 stainless-steel, with
high-precision overall sub-arc welding and good pressure
resistance.
2. The outside of the tank is connected with a transparent tube,
and attached with a stainless-steel ruler, so that the internal
water level can be clearly observed.
3. Special silicone sealing ring, good elasticity, not easy to be
damaged.
4. The tank lid above the tank body is equipped with a power supply
connector for sample.
5. The tank is equipped with safety valve, which automatically
releases the pressure when it exceeds the rated pressure to prevent
improper operation by the operator and the set pressure is too
high.
6. Electric control components and pneumatic components are
branded, to ensure the stability and service life of the equipment.
7. The test time can be set to: 99H59M59S. When the test time is
reached, the pressure can be automatically stopped and the air in
the tank can be automatically exhausted. The operator can open the
tank lid to take out the test sample.
8. Pressure display: The pressure can be preset and displayed on
the touch screen, and the internal pressure can be automatically
stabilized. Pressure display accuracy: 0.01 KG/CM².
9. Water inlet is installed at the up of the tank body and water
outlet is installed at the bottom of the tank.
10. Built-in sample power terminal
Questions & Answers for IPX8 Continuous Immersion Test Chamber
Q: What is the test chamber used for?
A: This IPX8 continuous immersion test chamber IEC 60529-2013 “Degrees
of protection provided by enclosure (IP code)”. It is used to
verify the electric vehicle parts, protective performance of the
enclosure for electronic and electrical products, automobiles,
motorcycle parts, household appliances, seals and lamps under
continuous immersion in water at degree IPX8.
Q: What is the principle of the test chamber?
A: By controlling the depth of the sample in the water to achieve a
standard equivalent pressure, and simulating water depth pressure
by applying a certain pressure of air pressure, to produce water
pressure across the entire surface of the specimen enclosure. The
water depth range simulation of IPX8 is harsher than IPX7.
