IPX9k
High Pressure Steam-Jet Cleaning
IPX9K testing is one of the most rigorous water resistance tests, designed to evaluate a product’s durability under extremely high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. The test setup involves a sealed chamber with a specialized nozzle system that sprays water at 80 to 100 bars of pressure and temperatures reaching up to 80°C. Products are subjected to jets from various angles, and the chamber rotates the product to ensure every side is exposed to intense water impact. This method is particularly valuable for industrial products and automotive components that encounter harsh cleaning processes or extreme weather. Examples of products that benefit from IPX9K testing include truck lights, agricultural machinery, and pressure-washable equipment enclosures. Ensuring these products can withstand such demanding conditions is critical for industries where equipment reliability under extreme exposure is a priority. Assured Testing Services provides IPX9K testing with the equipment and expertise to meet industry standards, helping manufacturers ensure their products can endure severe water and heat conditions without compromising functionality.
