The level of protection is unclear, Wotian takes you to learn more

First we need to understand, what is the protection level and why dose it exist?
The IP (INGRESS PROTECTION) protection level system was drafted by the IEC (INTERNATIONAL ELECTROTECHNICAL COMMISSION), which classifies electrical appliances according to their dust and moisture resistance characteristics.
Why is there a degree of protection?
First, prevent the human body from touching or approaching the live parts inside the case and moving parts inside the case (except for non-dangerous moving parts such as smooth shafts and similar parts), and prevent solid foreign matter from entering the interior of the electrical enclosure.
Second, prevent harmful effects caused by water entering the interior of the electrical enclosure.
Third, the test filter in all aspects meet the design requirements of the shell, under normal conditions of use, the material and technology of the shell should be able to ensure that its performance meets the protection requirements of this standard.
What products of Wotian need protection level?
Pressure transmitters, liquid level transmitters, temperature sensors, temperature transmitters, flow meters, etc. need to have protective energy levels. The common protection levels of Wotian are IP65 and IP68.
What do IP65 and IP68 stand for?
IP65: Prevent foreign objects and dust, prevent the intrusion of sprayed water (fully prevent foreign objects and dust from invading, and prevent low-pressure water spray for at least 3 minutes)
IP68: Prevent foreign objects and dust, prevent water from immersing in the sink (to completely prevent foreign objects and dust from invading, and prevent continuous immersion in water with a depth of more than 1 meter. Wotian has independent testing equipment.)
Pressure transmitters, temperature sensors, temperature transmitters and other general protection grades are IP65, level transmitters are IP68, the flowmeter depends on the measurement situation, have you learned?
