Oscillating Pipe Spray Device: A Professional Solution for IPX3/IPX4 Waterproof Testing

In areas such as outdoor lighting, automotive electronics, home appliances, and industrial enclosures, water intrusion can cause electrical shorts, performance degradation, and even safety incidents. IEC 60529 (Ingress Protection, or IP) is a widely adopted standard for enclosure protection. IPX3 and IPX4 use "oscillating pipe/rain" testing equipment to simulate the effects of rain at varying angles, durations, and impacts on the device under test to determine its splash/drench resistance. Selecting a rain oscillating pipe test device that complies with specifications and provides reproducible data is crucial for product market approval and customer acceptance.

The oscillating pipe spray device features a series of precise technical specifications to ensure accurate and reliable testing:

IP (Ingress Protection Rating) defines the protection level of an interface against liquid and solid particles. The first digit after the IP number represents the solid ingress protection rating, and the second digit represents the liquid ingress protection rating.

In the field of IPX waterproof testing equipment, Guangzhou Hongce Instruments, with its three key advantages—standard compliance, data accuracy, and customization capabilities—has become a preferred supplier for domestic and international companies. Its rain shower pendulum test equipment (product details available on the official website: https://www.iectestingequipment.com/supplier-4311062-ip-testing-equipment) offers the following core competitive advantages:

1. Comprehensive standard coverage, meeting global testing needs
   The equipment strictly complies with international and domestic standards such as IEC 60529, GB/T 4208-2017, ASTM D1499, and ISO 20653. It can be directly used to issue test reports for export products, eliminating the need to adapt to different country-specific testing requirements. This helps companies save time and costs associated with multi-standard adaptation.
2. Accurate Core Parameters and Traceable Data
   Water flow control accuracy reaches ±0.3L/min (better than the standard requirement of ±0.5L/min). Equipped with an RS485 communication interface, it can be connected to a computer for real-time data recording and export.
   The oscillating tube angular error is ≤±0.5°, and the sample stage rotation accuracy is ≤±0.2r/min, ensuring repeatability (RSD ≤3%) for every test, preventing biased test results due to equipment errors.
3. Customization Capabilities to Meet Different Industry Needs
   For different product sizes (such as small sensors and large outdoor lighting), Guangzhou Hongce offers a variety of custom oscillating tube radii, including 300mm, 500mm, 800mm, and 1200mm. It also supports multi-station testing (simultaneously testing 1-4 samples), improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, features such as water temperature control (5°C-40°C) and water pressure monitoring and alarms can be added upon request to accommodate testing scenarios in specialized industries (such as automotive parts).
4. Comprehensive after-sales service and technical support
   We provide a comprehensive service package consisting of equipment installation and commissioning, operator training, a one-year warranty, and technical consulting. We respond within 72 hours to any questions regarding standard interpretation and parameter adjustments encountered during testing, ensuring long-term stable operation of the equipment.
