Protection against directed water jets of high temperature and pressure Protection against full immersion up to greater depths and higher pressure Protection against full immersion up to the depth of 1 m

Protection against directed water jets of high pressure (12.5 mm) from any angle Protection against directed water jets of low pressure (6.3 mm) from any angle Protection against spraying water up to 60° from vertical Protection against dripping water when the enclosure is tilted up to 15° IP Rating Chartįollowing is a quick reference chart to help you decide on the IP rating enclosure of your requirement. For example, IP69K ratings are typically used in wash down environments like car wash, food and beverage application and other steam cleaning procedures. “K” as seen in some IP ratings mean that the enclosure must provide protection against ingress of directed water jets of high temperature and pressure. For example, IPX4 can simply mean that the enclosure provides no protection from ingress of solid particles but provides protection against water splashing from any direction. The “X” can simply be replaced with a zero considering no ingress protection rating has been provided. “X” seen in the IP ratings simply means that the value for the number is missing. Protection against directed water jets of high temperature and pressure, wash downs or steam cleaning procedures Protection against immersion up to greater depths and higher pressure Protection against full immersion up to the depth of 1m for 30 minutes Protection against directed water jets of high pressure (12.5mm) from any angle Protection against directed water jets of low pressure (6.3mm) from any angle Protection against water splashing from any direction Protection against spraying water up to angle of 60° from vertical Protection against dripping water when the enclosure is tilted up to 15° angle Protection against vertically dripping water Liquid or moisture protection description: The following is a brief description of the corresponding digits. The second digit in the IP rating defines the degree of protection against liquid intrusions.

Protection against solid particles with diameter 1mm or more Protection against solid particles with diameter 2.5mm or more

Protection against solid particles with diameter 12.5mm or more Protection against solid particle of diameter greater than 50mm The corresponding description of the digits are explained below: First digit: The first digit in the IP rating denotes the degree of protection the enclosure provides against solid foreign objects like dust, accidental contact by hands, fingers, tools, wires, etc.
