IPX6 Testing

IPX6 Testing

IPX6 Testing

(OP)
I have a question about the IEC 60034-5 code for water ingress testing. It says that you need a water pressure of 100 kPa at the nozzle, which is about atmospheric pressure. It also wants a flow rate of 100 l/min. If I want to do this testing on my own, how am I supposed to regulate pressure and flow at the same time?

Thanks for any help you can give.

RE: IPX6 Testing

Regulate one, such as pressure. Make the pipe and pumps, etc. big enough to deliver the flow at that pressure.

you must get smarter than the software you're using.
