The Definitive FAQ Guide to IP56 Enclosures

What does the IP code mean?

The IP code stands for Ingress Protection. It is also known as IEC standard 60529.

It is called EN 60529 in Europe.

It consists of 2 numbers after the IP.

The first number corresponds to the level of protection against the ingress of solids, whereas the second digit corresponds to the ingress of liquids.

For dust, the numbers go from 1 to 6, and for liquids, they go from 1 to 9K.

Enclosures with a dust rating of 1 would protect against anything that is bigger than 50 mm, or 1.9 in.

On the other hand, enclosures that are fully dust-tight protect against any solid particles.

IP chart
Enclosures with a liquid rating of 1 are effective against dripping water in an upright position, thus, they are protected against rain.

Meanwhile, 9K enclosures are able to withstand pressurized jets of hot water.

There can be a zero marked, which means no protection.

There can also be an “X” mark, which usually means that any number can be put there.

There can be other lettered markings as well.

What does IP56 mean?

Enclosures rated with IP56 are protected against limited dust ingress, and from high-pressure water jets from any direction.

有限的灰尘进入是指大多数灰尘无法进入外壳，但有少量灰尘可以进入。

然而，即使灰尘真的渗入，也不足以损坏外壳的电气元件或干扰其工作。

High-pressure water jets can be measured at 100 liters per minute and could be heavy rain, water spray from nearby machinery or marine environments.

IP56 enclosures are also stronger in environments with chemicals and corrosion since it has a good weather-proof rating.

Especially, IP56 enclosures are able to withstand the heavy seas, so they can be put in beachy locations, on ships, or near pools.

Also, places with fog and humidity will be okay as well.

IP56 enclosure

What is the difference between IP55 and IP56?

These two IP ratings are exactly the same in terms of dust protection, but IP56 can take on pressurized water jets, whereas IP55 is good only for splashes and low-pressure spray.

Both are very similar, but if your business involves a lot of water, then IP56 is better than IP55.

主 IP 代码后面的字母与什么相关？

正如我们已经提到的，“X”表示没有可用信息，或者不相关或可替代。

有 2 组可选字母 您可以在数字后添加。

附加套件 - A、B、C、D - 描述了外壳防篡改的保护。

A stands for protection against the back of a hand; B stands for protection against a finger; C stands for protection against access with a tool, while D indicates for protection against access with a wire.

补充字母组合 — H、M、S、W — 告诉用户外壳的用途。

H 表示外壳可用于高压设备；M 表示外壳内的设备在水测试期间正在移动，而 S 则表示相反 - 它处于静止状态。

最后，W 表示外壳是防风雨的。

完整 IP 代码
You can use these to indicate what features you want your IP56 enclosures to have.

这些主要用于客户和制造商之间更好的沟通。

What testing do IP56 enclosures undergo?

IP5X 使用封闭空间进行测试，在该空间中，真空吸引大量灰尘和不同粉末，这些粉末被吹到外壳周围 8 分钟，然后检查外壳是否有灰尘进入。

       Dust chamber testing
IPX6 is tested using spray nozzles, measured at 12.5mm, with oscillating tubes that pressurize and spray water at 100 liters per minute for 5-10 minutes in any imaginable angle.

IP56 enclosures can also be submerged underwater for 2 minutes.

Can IP56 standards be converted into any NEMA type?

至于 美国电气制造商协会，我们提供任意类型，从 1 开始直到 13，包括子类型，例如 3X。

我们的 NEMA 外壳 可防止天气、腐蚀、冷却剂渗漏、化学品等。

IP 等级和 NEMA 类型不能直接相互转换，但可以松散地 比较的 as shown below. ZZZZ

NEMA and IP rating comparison
As the table shows, there is no direct comparison, but there can be a close resemblance between IP56 and NEMA types 3, 3X, 3S, and 3SX.

Types 12, 13, and 5 are also fairly close.

These types are often used outdoors, protecting against rain, dust, snow, and sleet.

It is often used with junction boxes.

The type 3X is extra corrosion-resistant. Type 3S is aimed to protect from ice.

并且，3SX 型兼具这两种特性。

Thus, you can get all these properties with IP56 as well.

Are IP56 enclosures explosion-proof?

Unfortunately, IP56 enclosures are not strong enough to contain an explosion or an arc flash.

They are not comparable to NEMA types 7, 8, 9, or 10.

These enclosures need to withstand high impacts and high temperatures.

As for arc flash, enclosures typically can’t protect from that, so personnel needs to keep that in mind.

However, if you need an explosion-proof enclosure, 联系我们 and we will engineer it for you!

Do IP56 enclosures protect against corrosive agents?

IP56 is not fully waterproof, so it may not protect against corrosive agents if they are strongly sprayed on it or submerged in.

如果只是溅到，甚至喷到，那就没有问题了，但腐蚀性烟雾仍可能进入。

材料也发挥了其作用——铝和不锈钢是最耐腐蚀的材料。

How do IP56 enclosures deal with thermal hazards?

KDM IP56 enclosures are equipped with double-wall technology, a thermal chamber, insulation, heat strips, heat exchangers, and vents with air conditioning.

All this provides protection from the electrical heat and solar radiation to prolong the life of electrical components within the enclosure.

Double-wall technology
此外，热管理可以减少热点、平衡压力并最大限度地减少可能损坏电子设备和各种设备的冷凝。

Where can IP56 enclosures be used and for what applications?

IP56 enclosures can be used both indoors and outdoors in non-hazardous environments.

IP56 enclosures are commonly used in industry and factory

machinery/equipment, heavy-duty construction, swimming and spa pools, bathrooms, transformers, and medical equipment.

Some other applications include medical equipment, like a CPR machine, and even medications.

Other applications may be telecom cabinets or control boards, among other things.

此 IP 等级非常适合户外环境，因为它防雨且能充分防止灰尘进入。

IP56 enclosures are also well protected against tampering, just as any IP5X enclosure is.

We also make casters, thermometers, light switches, lifting eyes, operator devices, and purpose-specific features like keypads and heat exchangers.

如需了解更多信息，欢迎 联系我们 for more information about all the different features and accessories we offer! We will also provide any custom feature you request.

锁、窗、通风口和铰链会降低 IP 等级吗？

是的，通风口、窗户和锁等功能确实会在一定程度上影响 IP 等级，但也有办法解决这个问题。

但 KDM 克服了这一困难，为您的企业提供了一些最好的外壳。

我们采用各种垫圈、PU 密封件、闩锁和过滤器来平衡 IP 等级。

What different types of steel can be used for IP56 enclosures?

The materials used for IP56 enclosures aren’t different from materials used for other types of enclosures.

它们可以由 碳钢, 镀锌钢， 和 不锈钢 – 通常为 304、316 或 316L 等级。

碳钢通常比不锈钢更暗。

由于它仅含有铁和碳，因此还具有磁性且更易延展。

这种钢也容易腐蚀。

不锈钢是在铁碳合金中添加铬、镍和钼而制成的。

不锈钢与镀锌钢
304 和 316 钢种在所有添加剂的含量上有所不同。

由于含有钼，316 级材料强度更高，并且能耐盐水和酸性水。

但 304 级更便宜且更常见。

316L 级碳含量较低，因此强度更高。

镀锌钢 涂有一层锌保护层，可防止腐蚀。

我们有 镀锌钢外壳, and this metal is vulnerable to salt water.

请注意，镀锌钢比不锈钢更贵而且更重。

另一种可用的钢材是冷轧钢，它比普通钢更薄、更致密，因此更坚固。

Is fiberglass a good material for IP56 enclosures?

玻璃纤维 is very strong, can dissipate heat, and insulates electricity, lowering the effect of interference and the possibility of shock.

它由放置在塑料中的玻璃纤维制成。

Fiberglass enclosures can be up to IP65, so IP56 is possible.

Fiberglass is also effective against corrosion.

玻璃纤维外壳
Speaking of plastics, we can include windows made from polycarbonate and  ABS.

聚碳酸酯更耐腐蚀，而 ABS 更便宜。

Why use aluminum for IP56 enclosures?

IP56 enclosures can also be made from aluminum alloys.

它们不一定比钢合金更好，但取决于您的目的和需求。

与钢材等级一样，铝合金可以是 5052 或 6061 系列。

铝与不锈钢
两者都很轻，但 5052 更易焊接，而 6061 具有更高的抗腐蚀能力。

而且6061比较贵。

铝顶部有一层氧化物，可以防止腐蚀。

这种材料特别适用于暴露于溶剂、石化产品、某些酸、大多数硫酸盐和硝酸盐的外壳。

So, if you are looking to put IP56 enclosures in such mildly hazardous environments, aluminum is good for that.

What paints and coatings can be used for IP56 enclosures?

我们的外壳受到了良好的保护，但合适的涂层也可以增加其保护作用。

You can choose enamel or powder paint coats in any color.

Enamel paint has a glossy finish and is resistant to different weather conditions.

Specific enamel paints like epoxy enamel and PU enamel are commonly used for industrial enclosures since they are resistant to corrosion.

粉末涂料 is deposited with the electrostatic force and is quicker and easier than enamel.

粉末涂料饰面
我们还提供阳极氧化和铝氧化涂层。

阳极氧化 涂层使用阳极氧化金属（通常是铝）以增加其厚度，从而获得更好的耐腐蚀性。

钢通常不进行阳极氧化处理，因为这实际上会加速金属的腐蚀。

阿洛丁涂层，又称 铬酸盐转化膜，用于钢和铝的底漆涂装以及防止腐蚀。

它的外观也更加灵活，为您提供光泽和哑光饰面的选择。

氧化铝涂层
This is a cheaper process than anodizing, and can be recognized by its characteristic greenish-yellow hue, unless it is painted over.

我们可以提供任何颜色和表面处理的涂层，因此 联系我们 今天！

How do you customize the symbols or writing on an IP56 enclosure?

我们的定制服务包括雕刻和丝网印刷。

Silk Screening is the easiest and most affordable method to customize an enclosure.

Any flat side of the enclosure can be silk-screened with labeling operators, serial number, your company name, and logo.

Examples of operators include emergency stop and gas detection among others.

However, silk-screening on metal like stainless steel or aluminum can be worn off or scratched off, but a clear powder coat helps to prevent that.

Silk screening
Engraving the enclosure is another method of customizing your enclosures.

This option is more costly and takes more time, but it is also more long-term than silk-screening.

A little bit of metal is removed from the surface of the enclosure in the design of the logo or symbol.

Usually, about 0.005 inches or 0.010 inches of metal is removed.

一旦金属被去除，就会用任意颜色的环氧漆填充以满足您的要求。

雕刻
There can also be anti-graffiti and anti-poster coatings to protect your IP56 enclosure from vandalism.
