Dust chamber is a testing apparatus used to evaluate the dust resistance of components, devices, and enclosures, particularly in the automotive, electronics, and defence industries. It simulates real-world dusty environments to assess the ingress protection (IP) rating of products, ensuring compliance with standards like IP5X, IP6X (IEC 60529) or ISO 12103-1.

Key Features of a Dust Chamber:

• Controlled Dust Circulation: Uses a blower or compressed air to keep dust in suspension.
• Programmable Test Cycles: Allows setting test duration, dust concentration, and air velocity.
• Variety of Test Dusts: Can use talcum powder, Arizona dust, or custom particulates.
• Sealed Testing Environment: Prevents external interference for accurate results.

• Temperature and Humidity Control (optional): Some advanced models simulate extreme environmental conditions.
