Solenoid coils Ingress Protection Rating (IP class)

Image
Solenoid  coil  IP Ratings Solenoid coil IP or Ingress Protection are the ratings as prescribed  by the EN60529 international standard and BS EN 60529:1992 and Eurozone IEC 60509:1989. The are used to define the levels of electrical sealing effectiveness of electrical enclosures against ingress or intrusion of external foreign bodies such as hands, fingers, tools, electrical wire, dust and water or moisture. The first number relates to mechanical penetration and the second number is the moisture penetration - the higher the number the greater the protection. . Degrees of Protection To DIN 40050 (IP): Example - IP65 6 = First code letter, 5 = Second code letter First Code letter: Degrees of protection against contact with foreign matter 0 - No protection of the equipment against the penetration of solid foreign matter 1 - Protection against large foreign matter  over than 50mm 2 - Protection against medium sized foreign matter  over than 12.5mm 3 - Protection against fi

5 commonly used seals material for solenoid valve seals

              The seals material for a solenoid valve is an important role to ensure long working life for  solenoid valve . Selecting the correct sealing material for your solenoid valve requires to consider below factors. 1) Chemical  compatibility. 2) Temperature of the med ium 3 ) Working pressure and burst pressure XHnotion will describe the most common 5 seal materials available for solenoid valve. 1.   Nitrile Rubbe r(NBR /Buna-N)   Main used for diaphragm, O rings and seal material, Suitable for air, gas, liquid, water, light oil etc, Fluid temperature -18℃ to 80℃. NBR is the most common and standard solenoid valve seals material. Nitrile Rubber is weak in terms of oxidising media such as acids and poor to resist the sunshine. NBR seals have a good abrasion and tear resistance. (1) NBR seals are most commonly used with the following media: Water, Air, Different Fuels, Oils, and Gases, vacuum. (2) NBR has a  good  resistance to: Milk Wine Alcohol Diese

Cartridge Check Valves Application

                Cartridge check valves   (also called non-return valves) are designed for simple installation and offer outstanding performance inside mating housing. They are valves which only allows water to flow in one direction and prevents backflow. Application Examples In water filter system, heating devices, household pipe systems, and water outlet appliances, XHnotion cartridge check valves have wide applications and reliability in a wide range of clear water systems. Protect drinking water from contamination by backflow resulting from gravity, backsiphonage or backpressure. (Example: Hose connected kitchen faucet or shower hand spray.)                 For the catering industry to prevent siphon electronic equipment for fluid gravity drip. (Example: coffee machine, water machine, beverage machine)                 Protect sensitive equipment against possible damage or contamination resulting from a reversal of flow direction. (Example: Water meter,
