In the first part of this series, we introduced the IP protection level of the product and the relationship between the material and the cleaning method.

IP code

The definition and meaning of IP code are as follows, usually composed of two characteristic numbers and additional letters (optional)

The first characteristic number indicates the degree of protection against access to hazardous parts and against the entry of solid foreign objects

- the enclosure provides protection for persons by preventing parts of the human body or objects held by persons from approaching hazardous parts;

- The enclosure provides protection for the device by preventing solid foreign objects from entering the device

The second characteristic number indicates the degree of protection against water entry

So, what application scenarios are industrial weighing instruments with different IP protection levels suitable for?

Below, we use a map to introduce the recommendations for the use of Ohaus industrial scales from two dimensions

For example, Ohaus' Defender 6000 series super waterproof bench scale, the instrument and scale body (sensor) all adopt IP69K / IP68 protection design, which is very suitable for use in wet, harsh and hygienic environments

Valor 2000 waterproof scale, with IPX8 protection design, is also suitable for use in long-term humid and harsh environments

High protection level requires special strengthening design, special design requires additional cost to support, product design needs to pay more cost to achieve IP69K, IP68 protection level

Here you may ask, can't the products with IP65 protection level in the map also be used in humid environment? The answer is yes: products with IP65 protection can be used in wet environments "for a short time"
.
We need to note that products with IP65 can be used in short-term humid and long-term relatively dry environments
.
If a product with an IP65 protection rating is used in a humid environment, it is likely that the product will have problems in just a few months, or even a few weeks
.
Therefore, in order to keep the production line from going down, we must choose the right product and apply it to the right occasion
.
