Splash Water Oscillating Tube Testing Equipment For IPX4 Testing

Splash Water Oscillating Tube Testing Equipment for IPX4 Testing

1. Introduction

Oscillating tube is designed according to IEC60529 figure4, clause 14.2.3 and 14.2.4, it is applied to verify protection against spraying (IPX3) and splashing water (IPX4), and widely used in the industries of electronics, luminaire, electric components, auto parts and etc..

The IPX3 and IPX4 waterproof test equipment is consisted by oscillating tubes (R200 to R1600), turntable,water tank, control units (touch screen+PLC), flowmeter and etc.. The oscillating tube is made of SUS304 stainless steel. For IPX3 test, the oscillating tube has spray holes over an arc of 60⁰ either side of the centre point (the other holes are blocked), the total flow rate is adjusted as standard requirement, the enclosure to be tested is placed at the center point of the semicircle, the tube is caused to oscillate through an angle of 120⁰, 60⁰ on either side of the vertical, the time for one complete oscillation (2*120⁰) being about 4s and test duration being 5min. For IPX4 test, the oscillating tube has spray holes over the whole 180’’ of the semicircle, the total flow rate is adjusted according to the standard requirement, and measured with a flowmeter. The tube is caused to oscillate through an angle of almost 360⁰, 180⁰ on either side of the vertical, and time for one complete oscillation (2*360⁰) being about 12s. The duration of the test is 10min.

3. Frequently Asked Questions 

1). Does the equipment can adaptor all the oscillating tubes? 

Pego: Yes. 

2). Can we customize the bearing capacity of the turntable?

Pego: Yes, the regular turntable can bear the samples with a weight less than 50KG, but we support the customize service.

3). What kind of water can be used?

Pego: Fresh water, however, the test water may be different depending on the product standards and test purposes.The purity water is recommended on prior, this will reduce the risk of nozzle clogging. But in practice, the tap water is used at most, the equipment configures 2 water filter.

4). What should we do if the needle is clogged?

Pego: the blue needles can be replaced easily, just screw-out the needle and replace a new one. 100 spare needles will be sent with the goods.

5). Can the water recycled?

Pego: No, this is an open type equipment, the water cannot be recyled. But we have the chamber type equipment for option.

6). Will you provide the on-site installation service?

Pego: Actually, the equipment will no need on-site installation service. The equipment will be shipped almost as a whole, user just need to make simple wiring connection when receive the goods.

7). What is the warranty period? and how can we get the after-sales service?

Pego: The warranty period is 12 months upon user receive the goods. 95% of after-sales problems can be solved by our engineer team through remote service. Customers will get a response within 24 hours in business day after reporting the problem. In our experience, most of the troublesome can be removed with the guidance of our engineer, only a small part of the troublesome are caused by parts failure, that is because we use the branded components, which have better performance and good reliability. If the parts damaged, we will a send a new for replace, the new parts will be charged for free within the warranty period. And also our eigneer team will teach how to replace the damaged parts.
