Dust and Sand Test

The dust and sand test is structured into three groups in standard IEC60068-2-68:

La: non-abrasive fine dust. A test which is primarily oriented towards investigation of the seals of the test specimen. The test specimen is exposed to a very fine dust in the form of talc or an equivalent. The effects of temperature cycling resulting in a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the specimen may be reproduced.

Lb: Free setting dust. A test which is oriented towards investigation of the effects when simulating conditions at sheltered locations. The test specimen is exposed to a low-density dust atmosphere created by the intermittent injection of a small quantity of dust which is allowed to fall by gravity onto the specimen.

Lc: Blown dust and sand. A test which is oriented towards investigation of the seals and the effect of erosion when simulating outdoor and vehicle conditions. The test specimen is exposed to either a turbulent or a laminar air flow to which is added a quantity of dust, sand or a dust/sand mixture.

Procedure

Dust/sand type

Particle size

Dust/sand concentration

Notes

Test La

Method La1

Talc or FE powder

 

<75μm

600g/m2/h , deposit on reference surface

Test includes a cycling of the air pressure in the chamber

Method La2

<75μm

2kg/m3 (chamber volume)

Air pressure in the specimen may be reduced

Test Lb

Olivine or quartz or feldspar

<75μm

6g/m2/d, deposit on reference surface

Free settling dust

Test Lc

Method Lc1

Olivine or quartz or feldspar

<75μm or <150μm or <850μm

1g/m3 or 3g/m3 or 10g/m3

Blown dust and sand recirculating chamber

Method Lc2

Free Blowing dust

 

See from the definition, the dust chamber designed according to IEC60529 can perform the dust test as per proposed method La2. The object of this test is to determine the degree of protection against ingress of find dust into electrotechnical products (IP5X and IP6X). Method La2 is a dust tightness test in which the specimen is exposed to a heavily dust-laden air flow containing non-abrasive power of particle size＜75μm, a vertical downwards air flow is specified for the test. The specified quantity of power (2kg/m3) ensures that the dust concertration is extremely high and uniform.

vertical impact hammers

The vertical impact hammer is designed according to IEC60068-2-75 test Ehc, the hammer consists by a striking element which falls freely from rest through a vertical height on to the specimen surface held in a horizontal plane, and the fall of the striking element shall be along a guideway, the guideway shall not rest on the specimen and the striking element shall be free of the guideway on the striking the specimen , the mass of striking element is equal to equivalent mass . 2J striking element equip with Φ 40 mm*4 71 mm guideway, 5J striking element equip with Φ6 8 mm*3 85 mm guideway, 10J striking element equip with Φ8 9 mm* 337 mm guideway, 20J striking element equip with Φ10 8 mm* 520 mm guideway, 50J striking element equip with  Φ12 9 mm* 650 mm guideway.

The relationship between standards IEC62262 and IEC60068-2-75

  The IK code is a coding system to indicate the degree of protection provided by an enclosure against harmful external mechanical impacts. The standard IEC62262 defines the impact energy corresponding to different IK codes. In general, the degree of protection applies to the complete enclosure. If parts of the enclosure have differing degrees of protection, the latter shall be indicated separately. IK00 IK01 IK02 IK03 IK04 IK05 IK06 IK07 IK08 IK09 IK10 IK11 0 0.14J 0.2J 0.35J 0.5J 0.7J 1J 2J 5J 10J 20J 50J IK00 - no protection IK01 - withstands 0.14J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 56mm on the surface) IK02 - Withstand 0.2J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.25KG falling from a height of 80mm on the surface) IK03 - Withstand 0.35J impact force (equivalent to the impact of an object weighing 0.2KG falling from a height of 140mm on the surface) IK04 - Withstand 0.5J impact force (equivalent to t...
