What does protection class IP69K mean?
The designation IP stands for International Protection and describes the degree of protection of an enclosure against the ingress of solid foreign bodies and water.
The first digit (6) certifies dust tightness, i.e., complete protection against dust and contact, while the second digit (9K) stands for protection against high-pressure ingress, such as during steam jet cleaning at high temperatures.
According to ISO 20653/DIN 40050 9, this protection class is the highest protection type in the field of device enclosures.
The robust U-CASE2 plastic enclosure, designed for specific requirements and used in many different devices from Müller Industrie-Elektronik GmbH, guarantees this high protection class up to IP69K, depending on the version.
For all applications where the corresponding classification according to the standard is required, it offers ideal protection for sensitive measurement technology in industrial and hygiene areas, especially during frequent cleaning cycles with high pressure and hot water.
The universal enclosure can be used as a base for industrial devices such as measuring amplifiers, digital displays, or control devices. With its robust and durable ASA 757G Luran S plastic and optional EMC protection, the enclosure is well suited for use in harsh environments and is also ideal for hygienic environments.
