    The document discusses ingress protection (IP) ratings used by Rice Lake Weighing Systems to classify load cells and select equipment for applications. The IP rating system provides a scale to indicate levels of protection against solid objects like dust and liquids like water. For example, an IP67 rating means a product is totally protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes. Higher IP numbers indicate stronger protection against more severe environments.

    to help select proper equipment for your application...


    For load cell sealing techniques, Rice Lake Weighing Systems uses the Ingress Protection (IP) rating system. We find the
    Survivor Weigh Modules

    IP numbers and their definitions are suitable for the classification of load cells and only apply IP numbers to such cells. The
    IP numbers on a load cell further specify the treatment a specific cell can endure in environments more severe than simple
    washdown.

    Example: Protection level offered


    by an IP67 rated product IP 67

    Protection against solid objects


    First number (in this case 6)
    0 No protection
    1 Protected from solid objects up to 50 mm (e.g., accidental touch by hands)
    2 Protected from solid objects up to 12 mm (e.g., fingers)
    3 Protected from solid objects more than 2.5 mm (e.g., tools and small wires)
    4 Protected from solid objects more than 1 mm (e.g., small wires)
    5 Protected from dust; limited entrance (no harmful deposit)
    6 Totally protected from dust

    Protection against liquids


    Second number (in this case 7)
    0 No protection
    1 Protected from vertically-falling drops of water (e.g., condensation)
    2 Protected from direct sprays of water up to 15° from vertical
    3 Protected from direct sprays of water up to 60° from vertical
    4 Protected from water sprayed from all directions; limited entrance allowed
    5 Protected from low pressure jets of water from all directions; limited entrance
    allowed
    6 Protected from strong jets of water (e.g., for use on ship decks); limited
    entrance allowed
    7 Protected from the effects of immersion between 15 cm and 1 m for 30
    minutes
    8 Protected from extended periods of immersion under pressure

    IP Numbers with Hermetically Sealed (HS) or Environmentally Protected


    (EP) Ratings
    Rating Protection
    EP Dust proof, not protected from moisture or water
    IP65 Dust proof, protected from splashes and low-pressure jets
    IP66 Dust proof, protected from strong water jets
    IP67 Dust proof, protected from temporary immersion in water 1 meter
    deep for 30 minutes
    IP68 Dust proof, protected from continuous immersion in water under
    more severe conditions than IP67
    IP66/68 Dust proof, protected from strong water jets and/or constant
    immersion
    IP69 Dust proof, protected from high pressure washing and
    steam cleaning
