Which is more waterproof, ipx7 or ip68?
Ip68 is more waterproof. IPX7 stands for waterproof level 7 and ip68 stands for waterproof level 8. The higher the number, the higher the waterproof level, so IP68 is more waterproof.
IP level stands for "protection level" or even "international protection level". IP code is a standard formulated by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). According to IEC, IP codes are formulated to classify the protection levels provided by equipment enclosures. The first number of the level code determines the protection level of the equipment. However, if there is an X in front of the IP level, it means that the equipment has not carried out the solid object entry test.
IPX7 equipment can be completely immersed in water. However, users need to know that the equipment can only stay underwater for half an hour at most and the depth can reach 3 feet. If the rating provided to the equipment is true, it should be able to run when the water comes out. However, users are advised to dry the equipment before use. Rain, splash and unexpected flood are the best conditions for this rating, because it can easily cope with stress.
Up to now, IP68 is the highest level that anyone's equipment can reach. Provide users with dustproof and waterproof protection. People who have IP68 protective equipment don't have to worry about the equipment falling into dust, because it provides comprehensive protection. But the submerged water level of 1.5m for half an hour is intact here.
