We are able to perform IPX8 tests (water test) up to 4500 meters deep (450 bar) on samples with a maximum size of 100x100x180(h) cm ~:
For larger products we are able to test samples in an autoclave of 2 meters (2000 mm) ~ in diameter and 3.5 meters (3500 mm) in height, simulating a depth of 500 meters (50 bar).
For samples up to 95x95x100 (h) cm ~ we have an autoclave that we often use for IPX8 tests up to 40 meters deep (4 bar, 58 psi).
Sometimes many customers contact us in order to test even cabinets with oversize dimensions and weight, in that case we need to consider the possibility to build a custom set-up in order to perform the test. We invite you to write us in order to know our engineering limits.
The chart below in "attached document" shows the various degrees of protection IP that can be performed.
