Table of Content [Hide]

    Overview of JIS D0203 Standard

    The JIS D0203 standard is a widely recognized Japanese industrial specification for rain testing, offering detailed guidance on rainfall intensity, droplet size, and water impact. It applies across industries including electronics, automotive components, aerospace equipment, and outdoor devices.

    By adhering to this standard, manufacturers can reliably simulate real-world rain conditions, ensure consistent product quality, and confidently demonstrate waterproof performance to customers and regulatory bodies.

    For example, under S1 and S2 tests:

    - Spray pipe inner diameter: 16 mm, length: 500 mm

    - Spray hole diameter: φ1.2 mm, number: 40, spacing: 12.5 mm

    - Adjustable spray flow: 1.9–3.2 L/min, spray pressure: 0.1–3 kg/cm²

    - Rotating pipe axis: 45º, pendulum tube speed: 23 r/min

    For R1 and R2 tests:

    - Sample support rotation: 5 r/min, adjustable

    - Water pressure: 0.1–3 kg/cm², spray flow: 24.5–39.2 L/min

    - Spray nozzle meets R1/R2 specifications

    - Rotating shaft angle: 45º, rotation speed: 23 r/min

    Working Principle of the  JIS D0203 Rain Test Chamber

    The core principle of the JIS D0203 rain test chamber is to simulate the natural rainfall environment through a well-designed system to apply different intensity and form of rain impact to the product under test. The common ways of rain mainly include spraying and dripping rain.

    Key Technology of LIB Industry JIS D0203 Rain Test Chamber

    Precision Rainfall Control

    Equipped with high-sensitivity flow sensors and precision pressure valves, the system maintains rainfall intensity with exceptional accuracy. During heavy rain simulations, water pressure remains stable between 0.03–0.3 MPa, ensuring repeatable and reliable test results.

    Wind Speed Simulation

    Integrated fans and wind regulation technology simulate wind speeds from 0–18 m/s with ±0.5 m/s accuracy. This replicates real-world conditions where wind alters droplet trajectory and impact, providing a comprehensive assessment of waterproof performance.

    Chamber Design for Uniform Coverage

    Evenly distributed nozzles, optimized chamber layout, and advanced sealing materials guarantee uniform rain coverage (±5%) and prevent leakage. This design ensures a controlled and stable testing environment, critical for accurate, reproducible results.
