Solid Ingress Testing for Dust Protection and Dust-Tight Enclosures
Solid ingress testing evaluates an enclosure under controlled dust exposure. The required equipment and procedure depend on the applicable standard and protection level.
Method requirements: chamber size, dust media, concentration, circulation, exposure duration, and specimen preparation must match the governing standard and test procedure.
Dust Chambers
Series DTC Dust Chambers
Dust chambers for IP5X dust-protected and IP6X dust-tight enclosure testing.
Chambers are built from rectangular steel tube and sheet steel construction, include four lockable dollies, and place the control cabinet with control and monitoring elements on the right-hand side. Voltage and frequency are configured for the installation requirements.
The Series DTC is offered for methods associated with IEC 60529, EN 60529, and applicable IEC 60335 requirements. Each chamber includes 10 kg of TX0005 75 micron talc.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between IP5X and IP6X?
IP5X is associated with dust-protected performance, while IP6X is associated with dust-tight performance under the conditions defined by the governing standard.
How often should talcum powder be replaced?
Talcum should be replaced every 20 tests.
What are the DTC-830 and DTC-840 used for?
The sieve and shaker are used to prepare and handle talcum before the media is loaded into the chamber.
Can one chamber configuration be used for every dust method?
Not always. IP dust testing and appliance-related dust testing may require different chamber configurations, specimen preparation, airflow arrangements, and handling accessories.
