Do you know the IP rating of rugged computer?

Rugged computer are generally suitable for those who love outdoor sports consumers and mining, construction, public safety, electric & water utilities, retails, logistic management, military, EMS, etc.

What’s the Rugged mean?

Water - proof , dust prevention and anti - corrosion , being able to work outdoor under bad environmental condition

The functions of rugged computer have brought many conveniences to industrail. However, the purchase of rugged products is a problem worthy of attention. People who don’t know about rugged will buy substandard rugged items, and rugged series that don’t meet the standard. Now, let me simply to know  how to buy a rugged computer that meets the standard:

I believe that many customers and friends will find words like IPXX, such as IP67, when buying it. So what parameter does this represent and what does it mean? Let's focus on explaining it below:

IP is a grade description.

The meaning of IP rugged grade(INGRESS PROTECTION)):

IP rugged is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection,

IP Rugged grade protection grade for the enclosure of electrical equipment against the intrusion of foreign objects,

The source of the IP Rugged rating is the International Electrotechnical Commission's standard IEC 60529, which was also adopted as the American national standard in 2004.

The format of the IP rating is IPXX, where XX is two Arabic numerals, the first marked number indicates the level of contact protection and foreign object protection, and the second marked number indicates the waterproof protection level. For specific protection levels, please refer to the following table.

IP is the international code used to determine the protection level. Ip level is composed of two numbers. The first number means dustproof; the second number means waterproof. The larger the number, the better the protection and other team leaders.

IP Ratings Explained

The letters ‘IP’ are always followed by two numerals which indicate the degree of protection offered, according to the British Standard BS EN 60529:1992 (as listed below).

E.g. IP67 - The first digit (6) represents the protection against solid objects and the second number (7), against water. So an IP67 enclosure completely prevents ingress of dust (6) and protects against temporary immersion in water for up to 1 metre for 30 minutes (7).

IP X X

Protection against solid objects

0 – No protection/ No test required

1 – Protected against objects greater than 50mm diameter

2 – Protected against objects greater than 12.5mm diameter, such as a finger

3 – Protected against objects greater than 2.5mm

4 – Protected against objects greater than 1.0mm such as wire

5 – Ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety

6 – No ingress of dust permitted

Protection against water

0 – No protection / No test required

1 – Protected against falling drops of water

2 – Protected against drops falling at 15° in 4 fixed positions

3 – Low pressure spray – similar to shower head at up to 60° from vertical tested using an oscillating tube with an arc of 60° for ten minutes

4 – Low pressure spray – similar to shower head – as per numeral 3 but 180° for 10 minutes

5 – Medium pressure jet – 6.3mm diameter, similar to garden hose – from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5-3 metres.

6 – High pressure jet – 12.5mm diameter, similar to fire hose – from any angle for 3 minutes at a distance of 2.5-3 meters.

7 – Immersion – for temporary immersion in water under set conditions – 1 metre for 30 minutes

8 – Protected against the effects of continuous immersion in water, ingress of water in quantities causing harmful effects shall not be possible. Conditions should be more severe than for numeral 7.

9 – Steam clean, high pressure, high temp jet wash to DIN40050 (German Std), extends BS EN 60529:1992

Outdoor rugged products above IP67 have extremely high requirements on the design and production process of the mobile phone's complete machine and core sealing, and the defective rate of products has also been high.
