Ingress protection rating, which is also known as IP Rating, is a rating recognized by the two letters, "IP", followed by two numbers. The numbers represent the amount of protection of the machine’s ability to resist outside matter. IP rating protects machines against harmful materials that might may enter the product and cause problems. Therefore, an IP rating is normal to see on a military-grade industrial computer. With protection from IP, the computer offers rugged housing and keeps the product live longer.

 
IP rating defines levels of sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against forces from foreign bodies, tools, solid particles, or moisture. In IP rating, the first number refers to the protection against solid particles, such as dust. The second number means the level of protection against liquids, such as water. The larger number of each digit means the greater power of protection. Therefore, to get more protection or higher protection, users can choose the larger numbers of IP ratings. Below is a chart for IP rating scale.

IP67 & IP65

There are different number of combinations when comes to IP ratings. IP67 provides protection from water immersion between 5.9 inches and 39.37 inches. IP67 devices such as iPhone 7 plus has dust resistance as well. From the chart above, we can see the first digit 6 = Dust Tight, second digit 7 = protected against liquid immersion. Acnodes offers different selection on fully IP67 rated military grade panel PC for customers. As for IP65 offers protection against multi-directional and low-pressure water jets. Furthermore, IP65 also provides complete protection from dust, oil, and other non-corrosive material. Acnodes also offers panel mount monitors with fully IP65 rated to the market for industrial industries.

What is IP69K?

In many industries, dust and dirt are problems. However, it is important to make sure dust cannot damage the casing of a product and cause it to fail. Therefore, IP69K offers protection against dust, high temperature, and high-pressure water. Moreover, the first numeral number represents the protection against the ingress of solid foreign objects. Next, the second numeral number represents the protection against the ingress of liquids such as water. In food processing industries, hygiene and cleanliness is necessary. Therefore, equipment must be able to stand high pressure, high temperature and also wash-down procedures.

Advantages of IP69K

Currently, IP69K rating is the highest protection available for IP ratings. Acnodes offers stainless steel fully sealed monitors and panel PC with IP65 and IP67. IP69K provides full protection from the combination of water, chemicals, high pressures, and temperatures. The IP69K rating offers completely durable and resistant from water and dust.
