Rain Test Chamber: What Level of Waterproof Testing Does It Cover? Author：LINPIN Update Time：2025-06-18 Source：LINPIN A rain test chamber is typically used for waterproof testing. This type of testing simulates rainfall conditions to evaluate a sample's waterproof performance. Waterproof ratings are divided into different levels, with the common ones being: IPX1: 15° tilt angle, duration of 10 minutes IPX2: 15° tilt angle, duration of 5 minutes IPX3: 60° vertical tilt angle, duration of 5 minutes IPX4: Omnidirectional water spray, duration of 5 minutes IPX5: Water jet, 12.5 L/min flow rate, 3 m distance, duration of 3 minutes IPX6: Powerful water jet, 100 L/min flow rate, 3 m distance, duration of 3 minutes IPX7: Immersion, 1 m depth, duration of 30 minutes IPX8: Immersion, 1.5 m depth, duration of 30 minutes The waterproof ratings mentioned above are based on the IEC 60529 international standard, though variations may exist depending on different standards. It should be noted that while a rain test chamber simulates rainfall conditions, it does not replace all types of waterproof testing. Other specialized testing equipment may be required for different waterproof test scenarios.
