IP68 Rated Outdoor Instrumentation

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Brief Description

Our IP68 Rated Outdoor Instrumentation is engineered for guaranteed protection against dust ingress and continuous immersion in water, ensuring reliable performance in the harshest outdoor and submerged industrial environments.

In-depth Overview

The IP (Ingress Protection) rating defines the sealing effectiveness of enclosures. IP68 is the highest standard, confirming the instrument is completely dust-tight (6) and suitable for long-term submersion in water depths beyond 1 meter (8). This rating is achieved through robust housing materials (usually 316L Stainless Steel or specialized polymers), precision-sealed cable glands, and permanent O-ring gaskets. This level of protection is vital for sensors installed in marine environments, wastewater treatment, and underground utilities, where failure due to environmental factors is costly and difficult to repair.

Specification

Parameter	Details
Protection Rating	IP68 (Dust-tight and continuous submersible)
Housing Material	Stainless Steel 316L, High-Density Polymer
Applications	Submersible Transmitters, Outdoor Gauges, Junction Boxes
Cable Sealing	Epoxy resin potting or specialized compression glands
Temperature Range	Wide range, typically −30∘C to 80∘C
Pressure Rating	Varies (up to 200m H2O for probes)
Certification	CE (environmental compliance)
Corrosion Resistance	High resistance to atmospheric and chloride corrosion

Applications

Submersible Pump Stations: Level and pressure sensing in wet wells and sewage sumps.
Marine and Offshore: Sensors exposed to salt spray, waves, and driving rain on decks and hulls.
Outdoor Storage Tanks: Pressure and temperature monitoring exposed to all weather conditions.
Underground Utility Vaults: Instrumentation exposed to occasional flooding and high humidity.

Key Advantages

Unmatched Environmental Protection: The highest level of sealing prevents catastrophic failure from water ingress and dust.
Longevity: Heavy-duty, anti-corrosive materials significantly extend service life in aggressive outdoor settings.
Reliability: Reduced maintenance and repair costs due to resilience against environmental wear and tear.
Versatility: Suitable for fully exposed installations or even permanent submersion.

Payment and Shipping

We accept secure international payments via T/T (Wire Transfer) and L/C. Due to the precision sealing and specialized material checks required, lead times for IP68-rated instruments are typically 3−4 weeks. We ensure instruments are shipped with individual protective packing and certified quality assurance reports (QA) to guarantee the sealing integrity upon arrival.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between IP67 and IP68?
A: IP67 means dust-tight (6) and protected against temporary immersion in water (7), usually for up to 30 minutes at 1 meter depth. IP68 means dust-tight (6) and protected against continuous submersion (8) under conditions specified by the manufacturer, usually deeper than 1 meter and for longer duration.

Q: Is the IP68 rating permanent?
A: The rating is valid as long as the enclosure is closed correctly, and the cable glands are tightened to the specified torque. If the housing is opened or seals are damaged during installation or maintenance, the rating can be compromised.

Q: Are the pressure relief valves on gauges also protected?
A: Yes. Any breathing elements or relief ports on an IP68 gauge must be protected by a hydrophobic membrane filter (such as Gore-Tex) or a sealed chamber that maintains the IP rating while allowing pressure compensation.
