Waterproof Box
Acting on the waterproof and dustproof shell, it is mainly used to prevent the objects in the box, such as: lines, meters, instruments and other water and affect its performance.
Waterproofing Class：
The universal waterproof rating is between IP63 and IP68. Specifically divided into
IP63: No effect of water or rain from 60 degree corner to shell;
IP64: Liquid thrown from any direction to the shell has no harm effect;
IP65: Rinse with water without any harm;
IP66: Can be used in cabin environment;
IP67: can withstand flooding in a short time (1m);
IP68: Immersed in water for a long time under certain pressure, such as deep water cable wiring.
Material
Waterproof box main materials are: plastic (ABS/PC), glass fiber, iron, stainless steel, etc.
Plastic waterproof box -- ABS material:
The plastic waterproof box is mainly made of ABS resin (acrylonitrile-styrene-butadiene copolymer, ABS is the abbreviation of Acrylonitrile Butadiene), which is a thermoplastic polymer material with high strength, good toughness and easy to be machined. Because of its high strength, corrosion resistance, so often used in the manufacture of plastic waterproof boxes.
Waterproof boxes made of this material are generally industrial gray in color, opaque, and can be dyed according to customer needs. Because of the different use occasions, there are also radiation, fire and other waterproof boxes.
Plastic waterproof Box - Transparent material:
The transparent plastic waterproof box is mainly made of PC. Polycarbonate (abbreviated as PC) is a clear and transparent non-qualitative thermoplastic material. It gets its name from the CO3 group inside.
The main difference between the waterproof box made of this material and ABS material is transparency.
Metal waterproof case - iron or stainless steel：
Waterproof boxes made of iron or stainless steel are metal waterproof boxes. Compared with the plastic waterproof box, the metal waterproof box explosion-proof performance, fight against the ability and environmental adaptability is strong. However, compared with the waterproof box of the same volume, the quality of the metal waterproof box is obviously greater than that of the plastic waterproof box, and the insulation is poor. At the same time, the height is generally above 1M, and the cost is relatively high, so it is mainly used as a large distribution cabinet, switch box and so on.
Fiberglass waterproof box -- fiberglass：
Glass fiber waterproof box as the name suggests material made of glass fiber, in its function can replace and superior to iron waterproof box. Glass fiber than organic fiber high temperature resistance, non-combustion, corrosion resistance, heat insulation, sound insulation good (especially glass wool), high tensile strength, good electrical insulation (such as alkali free glass fiber). But brittle, wear resistance is poor. Glass fiber is mainly used as electrical insulation materials, industrial filtration materials, anti-corrosion, moisture-proof, heat insulation, sound insulation, shock absorption materials. It can also be used as reinforcement material.
Main use
Waterproof box due to regional differences and different names for the scope of action are not the same for the industry mainly waterproof junction box, waterproof instrument box, waterproof photovoltaic junction box, etc. Waterproof box is mainly used in indoor and outdoor electrical, communication, fire facilities, iron and steel smelting, petrochemical, electronics, electric power, railway, construction site, mine, mining, airport, hotel, ships, large factories, coastal factories, unloading dock equipment, waste water treatment facilities. Environmental hazard facilities, etc.
