Ingress Protection: Spraying Water and Splashing Water (IPX3 & IPX4)
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. Two such sets of ingress protection tests involve exposing the equipment under test (EUT), to spraying water and splashing water. These tests are numbered IPX3 and IPX4. The first digit, represented by the “X”, ranges from 0 to 6 and specifies the protection from solid particles. The second digit, in the case of spraying water, would always be a 3, and in the case of splashing water, would always be a 4.

Altitude Testing
Altitude testing, also referred to as low pressure testing, per MIL-STD 810 Method 502.4, is performed to ensure that equipment can withstand and operate in a low pressure test or high altitude test environment. Altitude testing is intended to be used for air shipment of material in a plane, equipment designed for installation at high ground elevations and explosive decompression due to aircraft damage. Manufacturers of any device that is transported by air should consider the impact high altitude testing or low-pressure testing could have on their products. A low pressure test can simulate the problems high altitude can create such as:

Ingress Protection: High-Temperature and High-Pressure Water Jets Tests (IPX9)
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. One such set of ingress protection tests involves exposing the equipment under test (EUT), to high-pressure and high-temperature water jets. These tests are numbered IPX9. The first digit, represented by the “X”, ranges from 0 to 6 and specifies the protection from solid particles. The second digit, in the case of the high-pressure and high temperature water jets ingress protection test, would always be a 9.

Immersion Testing
Keystone Compliance offers immersion testing to depths exceeding 100 feet. Immersion test setups are often unique to the test article and require the use of specialized pressure vessels. With multiple pressure vessels available, Keystone Compliance is able to offer immersion testing of various-sized test articles to almost any depth. Keystone Compliance operates various pressure vessels and associated support equipment. Keystone equipment is capable of simulating depths beyond 100 feet. One of the immersion test tanks measures 16 feet tall and has a radius of three feet.

Ingress Protection – Dripping Water Tests (IPX1 and IPX2)
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. One such set of ingress protection tests is called the dripping water test. These tests are numbered IPX1 or IPX2. The first digit, represented by the “X”, ranges from 0 to 6 and specifies the protection from solid particles. The second digit, in the case of the dripping water ingress protection test, would always be either a 1 or a 2.

Ingress Protection: Water Jets and Powerful Water Jets Tests (IPX5 & IPX6)
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. Two such sets of ingress protection tests involve exposing the equipment under test (EUT), to water jets and powerful water jets. These tests are numbered IPX5 and IPX6. The first digit, represented by the “X”, ranges from 0 to 6 and specifies the protection from solid particles. The second digit, in the case of water jets, would always be a 5, and in the case of powerful water jets, would always be a 6.

Humidity Testing
Keystone Compliance offers temperature and temperature humidity testing in chambers ranging from small bench top to large drive-in systems. Our largest chamber was specifically oversized in design. With inside dimensions of 12’ wide x 15’ long x 10’ tall and an 8’ x 9’ door, Keystone Compliance is capable of moving, installing, and testing multiple rack assemblies. Keystone Compliance also operates a large walk-in chamber that is specially equipped with twin 30 hp compressors and is capable of temperature transition rates exceeding 15 degrees Celsius per minute.

Ingress Protection: Immersion Water Tests (IPX7 and IPX8)
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. One such set of ingress protection tests involves immersing the equipment under test (EUT), in water. These tests are numbered IPX7 and IPX8. The first digit, represented by the “X”, ranges from 0 to 6 and specifies the protection from solid particles. The second digit, in the case of the immersion ingress protection test, would always be a 7 or an 8.

Solar Radiation Testing
Solar radiation test setups are custom designed for each test setup. Solar arrays can be provided for small or large test articles. Arrays are designed and calibrated prior to placement of the test article. Testing takes place within any of our various temperature chambers. Solar arrays are microprocessor controlled and are capable of delivering greater than the 1,200 watts per meter squared as required by most commonly used test specifications. Custom programs can be designed to simulate real world test cycles of sunrise to sunset. Keystone Compliance offers Solar radiation testing for heating effects only.

Salt-Fog Testing
Keystone Compliance has a salt fog chamber that is one of the largest salt fog chambers manufactured and has an inside dimension of 8’ x 4’ x 4’. However, we have created custom oversized chambers to accommodate much larger devices including cars, drones and large pieces of machinery. If you have a large unit, we can likely find a way to test it. The chamber is capable of salt fog testing, salt mist testing, salt spray testing and salt laden testing as described in most popular test specifications.

Shock Testing
Keystone Compliance offers shock testing on our electrodynamic shakers as well as through the use of our pneumatic shock machine. Additionally, Keystone Compliance possesses the necessary equipment to produce and analyze Shock Response Spectrum (SRS) shock events. The latest revisions of many federal and military specifications are requiring, or offering, shock response spectrum as an alternative to typical classical shock testing.

Dynamics Testing
Keystone Compliance is a drop test lab capable of testing products to the drop testing requirements of various test standards including the random drop test in MIL-STD 202. Our drop test machine is capable of precise drops from different heights at different angles and onto different surfaces. Our three shakers can simulate loose cargo test conditions that might be experienced as a product is in transit.

Ingress Protection: Dust Protected and Dust Tight (IP5X & IP6X)
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. Two such sets of ingress protection tests involve exposing the equipment under test (EUT), to dust. These tests are numbered IP5X and IP6X. The first digit, in the case of dust protected, would always be a 5, and in the case of dust tight, would always be a 6. The first digit, represented by the “X”, ranges from 0 to 9 and specifies the protection from liquid.

Ingress Protection Testing, aka IP Code Testing
Ingress protection testing tests the level of protection an enclosure provides against intrusions. Intrusions can be defined as body parts, water, dust and other foreign objects. The IP Code, also known as the International Protection Marking, rates the degree of protection that the enclosure provides. The IP Code has two digits. The first digit is the protection from solid particles and the second digit is the protection from liquids.
