Ingress Protection: High-Temperature and High-Pressure Water Jets Tests (IPX9)

The IPX9 testing described in IEC 60529 is briefly described below:

• IPX9 Strong Water Jets at High Temperatures
• Protection from high-pressure, high-temperature spray-downs at close range.
• The high-pressure, high-temperature water spray must have no negative effects on the EUT.

Test information includes:

• Certain conditions apply to the water used in an IPX9 test:
• There is a required nozzle to use.
• 14–16 litres of water should be produced every minute.
• Water pressure at a distance of 0.10-0.15 metres should be 8-10 MPa (80-100 bar).
• The water should be 80 °C in temperature.
