IP Rating Chart: IP65 IP66 IP67 IP68

The document outlines the IP rating system for enclosures and their levels of protection against solids, liquids, and dust. An IP65 rating indicates protection against low pressure water jets, tested by projecting 12.5 liters of water per minute at 30 kPa pressure from 3 meters for 15 minutes. IP66 provides protection against higher pressure water jets, tested at 100 liters per minute at 100 kPa from 3 meters for 3 minutes. An IP67 rating means protection against immersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. IP68 provides total protection against dust and immersion to greater depths and pressures than other ratings.

IP65 rating means that the enclosure can only provide protection against low pressure (6.3mm)
water jets. For testing IP65 enclosures, it should be projected to 12.5 liters of water volume per
minute for at least 15 minutes with 30 kPa pressure at distance of 3m. Figure 2 is an example of
IP65 rating enclosure.

IP66 rated enclosure provide protection against high pressure (12.5mm) water jets. The testing
procedures include the enclosure being subjected to 100 liters per minutes of water volume with
pressure of 100 kPa at the distance of 3m for at least 3 minutes.

IP67 rating means, the enclosure provides protection against immersion up to 1m. The test
method for such enclosures includes immersion at the depth of at least 1m for 30 minutes or more.
The immersion depth is measured from the bottom of the object and should be at least 15 cm from
the top of the object.

IP68 can be considered as total protection against dust ingress and immersion up to greater depths
and higher pressure. However, the term “greater depths” and “higher pressure” can be vague.
Therefore, the manufacturer and user must agree on the specification for IP68 depending upon
their requirement and application. However, IP68 rating provides protection from immersion
depths of at least 1 meter.
