Product Overview
The Rain Test Chamber IPX1-2 (IPX1-2 vertical drip test machine) is a specialized device designed for waterproof rating tests on electronic and electrical products, outdoor luminaires, household appliances, automotive components, and more. This equipment simulates dripping water conditions to test the physical and other relevant performance of products. Through testing, it determines whether the product meets the required protection level, thereby assisting in product design, improvement, and factory inspection. The Rain Test Chamber IPX1-2 adopts a column-type structure for stable operation, and is equipped with a liftable drip plate and a high-precision turntable, meeting the test requirements of both IPX1 and IPX2 protection levels. Its core control system uses a 7-inch touch screen plus a dedicated controller, offering intuitive operation and precise data. It is an ideal choice for waterproof testing in industries such as lighting, electrical appliances, and automotive parts.
Product Features
This Rain Test Chamber IPX1-2 integrates multiple innovative designs and practical functions to ensure accurate testing, safe operation, and easy maintenance:
- Dual waterproof rating capability – Suitable for IPX1 (vertical dripping) and IPX2 (15° tilted dripping) tests, two functions in one machine.
- Column-type structure – The main frame can be packed as a whole for convenient transportation, saving on-site installation time, and ensuring stable operation.
- High-quality materials – The frame is made of high-grade aluminum alloy; the specimen turntable and drip plate are manufactured from SUS304 stainless steel to prevent rust over long-term use.
- Vacuum-designed drip plate – Made of highly rust-resistant stainless steel for durability; the nozzle contact area features a brass conical design for quick needle replacement.
- Electric hoist lifting – The drip plate can be automatically raised and lowered, and stops automatically when the nozzle is 200 mm above the highest point of the test specimen via a photoelectric sensor.
- Safety protection design – A stainless steel mesh guard is installed under the needles to prevent operator head injuries; also equipped with leakage protection, short-circuit protection, and anti-collision protection.
- Compressed air drying function – After the test, residual water in the drip plate can be thoroughly drained to prevent scale buildup and needle clogging.
- High-precision turntable – Driven by a stepper motor, rotation speed and angle can be accurately set via the touch screen. IPX1 test speed is 1 r/min; the IPX2 test automatically completes four positions, each dripping for 2.5 minutes. The turntable can be tilted 0° or 15° and has a load capacity of 50 kg.
- Sample power control – An AC220V/10A power outlet is installed on the turntable, and the sample on/off time can be programmed (0–999 min cycles), suitable for tests requiring intermittent power to the specimen.
- Imported electrical components – Adopts LS, Omron and other imported brands, 7-inch touch screen + dedicated controller; wiring complies with national standards, with clear layout and labeling.
- Easy mobility – Four swivel casters with brakes are installed at the base for easy movement and fixing.
Test Standards
The Rain Test Chamber IPX1-2 strictly complies with the following domestic and international waterproof test standards:
IEC60529:1989 +A1:1999 +A2:2013 – Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code)
GB4208-2017 – Degrees of protection provided by enclosures (IP Code) – Clauses 14.2.1, 14.2.2 and Figure 3
GB7000.1 – Luminaires – Part 1: General requirements and tests – Clause 9.2.3
The equipment fully meets the requirements of the above standards for IPX1 and IPX2 tests, including drip rate, turntable speed, tilt angle, test duration, etc., ensuring authoritative and comparable test results. The Rain Test Chamber IPX1-2 can be used in third-party testing institutions, enterprise quality control centers, and R&D laboratories. All equipment can pass third-party metrological verification.

FAQ
Q1: What is the main difference between IPX1 and IPX2 tests?
A: IPX1 is vertical dripping with the turntable horizontal, rotation speed 1 r/min, and a drip rate of 1 mm/min. IPX2 requires the specimen to be tilted 15° in four mutually perpendicular positions, each position tested for 2.5 minutes, with a drip rate of 3 mm/min. This Rain Test Chamber IPX1-2 can automatically complete the four position tilted drip test for IPX2.
Q2: How is the drip plate height adjusted?
A: The electric hoist controls the drip plate lifting, with an adjustable range of 800–1800 mm. A photoelectric sensor detects the distance from the nozzle to the highest point of the specimen and automatically stops when the distance reaches 200 mm, meeting standard requirements.
Q3: What should I do if a needle becomes clogged?
A: The equipment comes with 100 spare test needles and 20 brass needle holders. The needles feature a quick release conical design for easy replacement. In addition, the compressed air drying function drains residual water from the drip plate after each test, effectively preventing scale induced clogging.
Q4: Can I control power on/off cycles for the test specimen?
A: Yes. An AC220V/10A sample power outlet is installed on the turntable. The touch screen allows programming of on (0–999 min) and off (0–999 min) cycles, simulating actual operating conditions for luminaires, electrical products, etc., during water testing.
Q5: What are the installation site requirements for the equipment?
A: The floor must be level and waterproof, with a floor drain or drainage channel; load capacity ≥200 kg/m²; allow maintenance space (rear, left, right, top ≥600 mm, front ≥1000 mm); provide a 220V power supply and water source with pressure ≥0.2 MPa, and install a dedicated leakage protection switch.
