IP69K testing
IP69K testing
The IP69K test was designed specifically for rating protection against a high pressure jet
stream (1160 to 1450 psi), high liquid temperature (176°F) and close nozzle distances
(4" to 6") from the device surface
What does IP69K testing mean to you
IP69K
certified
The IP69K rating is designed to tackle high pressure, high temperature washdown
applications. The “6” applies to external protection from dust. The “9” signifies
protection from close-range high pressure spray downs, and the “K” applies to
the high temperature of the water used. Arrow Hart’s new pin & sleeve devices
are designed to face some of the most severe operating conditions, often in the
most challenging environments making them ideal for a wide range of markets,
including food and beverage, mining, and industrial facilities.
How IP69K testing works
To obtain an IP69K protection rating – a strong water jet is directed at the device
from 4 directions and to achieve the rating it must not have any harmful effects.
A jet nozzle at 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° to the rotating table at 176°F, 4–6 inches away
at 1160–1450 psi. The test time is 2 minutes.
