Depending on the gear you’re looking to purchase, there’s often a rating posted on the packaging in terms of an IPX rating. Very often the question gets thrown around to describe just what IPX-4 or IPX-7 means.
Well, starting with the description of it, an IP rating stands for Ingress Protection, sometimes referred to as International Protection as well. In easy terms, it’s a rating that states how protected the gear is against water or dust getting into the casing of the gear, or how resistant it is to impacts. Generally speaking, the higher the number equals better protection.
Water IPX Standards:
- IPX-0 offers absolutely no protection against water destroying the device
- IPX-1 offers protection from dripping water from above the device for at least 10 minutes
- IPX-2 offers protection from dripping water when the device is rotated 15° any direction from vertical for at least 10 minutes
- IPX-3 offers protection from a spray of water in any direction when the device is rotated up to 60° any direction from vertical for at least 5 minutes
- IPX-4 offers protection from a splash of water in any direction for at least 5 minutes
- IPX-5 offers protection from a 6.3mm spray of water (12.5 liters per minute) in any direction for at least 3 minutes
- IPX-6 offers protection from a 12.5mm spray of water (100 liters per minute) in any direction for at least 3 minutes
- IPX-7 offers protection from complete water submersion up to 1 meter deep for at least 30 minutes
- IPX-8 offers protection defined by the manufacturer, meaning that it’s better than IPX-7 in whatever way the manufacturer states (normally stated immediately following the IPX-8 label, stating that the device was tested at “x” meters for “x” minutes)
When it comes to dust standards:
- IPX-0 offers no protection from an outside object entering the device
- IPX-1 offers protection from objects 50mm or larger from entering the casing
- IPX-2 offers protection from objects 12.5mm or larger from entering the casing
- IPX-3 offers protection from objects 2.5mm or larger from entering the casing
- IPX-4 offers protection from objects 1mm or larger from entering the casing
- IPX-5 offers dust protection from dust that would be able to interfere with the normal operation of the device
- IPX-6 offers a completely dust free protection for the device
Hope this helps de-mystify the IPX code standards on your next purchase!
No, that doesn’t demystify it, because it’s mostly wrong.
For a start, it’s just an IP rating, not an “IPX” rating. The X is there (in the third position) simply because there is no dust rating specified.
The maximum IP rating for dust without a water rating is IP6X. (Note the X in the fourth position.)
There are no hyphens in IP ratings. Why does one appear on Chinese products? Ignorance? Stupidity? I don’t know. Why do they use a fake CE logo? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE_marking#China_Export
This is the correct answer.
Juste should rewrite to conform to Global standards or stay off the air!
No this is not the correct answer a piece of equipment rated to keep dust out will be written as IP6 & not as IPX6 as the poster suggests if it is written as IPX6 it means it has no giving rating for solid object ingress & only rated for liquid ingress, If its written IP67 or IP25 etc.. then it is both rated for solid & liquid ingress. There is a third number as well to rate it for objects falling onto it which would read like IP686
They don’t do fake CE. CE is so easy to pass and CE doesn’t design the logo into their product. You can always lookup their product to verify. UL is much more faked. Faking CE is like putting a Hyundai badge on a Kia. It’s not going to impress anyone.
I rarely leave responses, but i did a few searching

The incorrect (re: hyphenation in the IP rating nomenclature) info on this site is halfway to being spam in itself, so fucketh AAAAAAALLLLL who are weak and lame at something they ultimately choose to do!
I found it easily enough. And it its a google search, you are supposed to cross reference with other sites for reliabily anyway!
It was really annoying that I had to go into the Web Developer console and remove the line “moz-user-select: none;” in order to copy and paste excerpts. Nice article though.
I can’t right click on this site. Works on other pages. This site sucks. 3 years later, nothing’s changed.
Good information. Lucky me I discovered your website by chance (stumbleupon).

Everyone, I found this awesome mobile real estate app that runs all the metrics for properties and tells you which properties are a good buy and which ones are not. It is called realbench, just go http://realbench.net, or go to the apple store (iPhone) or google play (other phones) and type REALBENCH. Everyone that comes to justelation.com will probably be interested in this app.

Your advice is quite important
Maintain the incredible work !! Lovin’ it!
This has been online for 3 years and still hasn’t been corrected to the IP standard? This should just be removed if it won’t be corrected. IPX has never been a standard… IP stands for Ingress Protection. The X is just a number replacement… like algebra. The format of the standard is IPXX, IP XX or IP-XX. If only water protection is cared about then the first x is kept. (IPx6 / IP x6 / IP-x6). If only dust protection is cared about (rare) then the second x is kept instead (IP6x / IP 6x / IP-6x). If both matter, then neither x is kept (IP68 / IP 68 / IP-68). The highest rating is IP68 (IP6x for dust, IPx8 for water). Because water is harder to protect against than dust, IP6x implies a low water rating but IPx8 implies IP68 rating. IPx8 has set requirements and if those are exceeded in any significant way (additional submersion depth, longer durations, etc) then those can be specified with the rating.

Tuned Gas
The calibration of emissions monitoring equipment,
gasoline detection systems or general research analysers requires appropriate, reliable calibration gases coming from a responsive and knowledgeable supplier.
Our goal is to discuss these requirements and provide the benchmark service to the inferential sector.
It is widely accepted that frequent calibration using gas mixtures is
the best means of ensuring your analysis or maybe detection system is
free from wander and performs to the authentic manufacturer’s specifications.
But tuned gases are typically subject to expanded lead times, multitudinous selections and inflexible package sizes –
do you really want which large rented cylinder for any one-off research project?
We take another view to the supply of standardized gas – one that offers you the right option for your requirements backed up by
the best support and also service in the
industry.
It starts off with the package options; classic rented refillable cylinder options available in a wide range of sizes,
through the compact 2 and 7 litre models which are ideal for on-site work to the significant 50 litre cylinders that offers ample gas capacity for robotic calibration protocols.
In addition to this, calibration gases are available in our most affordable nonrefillable (disposable) cylinder selections, providing
smaller quantities associated with gas without the ongoing price of rental arrangements for sporadic research demands
or purpose checking of portable natural gas detectors. Our
application experts will be delighted to help you choose the best option for your demands.

U are all gay….and I hate gay poofs
can anyone advise the different between IPX4 and IP44. Are they the same if it use for shower heater.
I am still confused to what IPX rating a hot toaster has being thrown in the bathtub of water with my ex in there. How long can the toaster be submersed?
Finding a great headset has become never been so easier.
Yeah man thanks for the help now I will get more enjoyemnt playing PS4 games
.
Very Good & much Great. Thanks For Sharing.

PLEASE correct your posting and very misleading, particularly regarding protection from dirt/dust.
IP = Ingress Protection
The 3rd digit is the solid rating (dust/dirt).
The 4th digit is for the liquid rating (water)
When a digit is an “X” (or missing), it offers NO protection.
EXAMPLES:
IPX6 = NO protection from solid ingress, level 6 for liquids.
IP4X = Level 4 protection for solid ingress, NO protection from liquids.
IP4 = Level 4 protection for solid ingress, NO protection from liquids (same as IP4X)
IP46 = Level 4 protection for solid ingress AND level 6 protection from liquids
There is also another digit, rarely if ever seen on consumer products, that indicates the level of resistance to drops.
Thanks for this inforamtion
As most of pc came today with IP-V6 integrated. Can we say that is better than IPV8 or just cheaper?
