IEC EN 60068-2-74 Environmental test - Test Xc - Liquid Contamination Test

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60068-2-74 test. This standard provides a test method that provides a standardized procedure for determining the ability of components, equipment, or the materials that make up them, to withstand accidental contact with liquids without being unacceptably affected.

IEC EN 60068-2-74 Environmental test - Test Xc - Liquid Contamination Test

The listed fluids represent those commonly encountered in operational applications. A sample is not intended to be exposed to all or even any of these. Nor is the list intended to be exhaustive; Fluids not listed and for which a test is suitable should be included in the relevant specification.

These tests are not intended to demonstrate the suitability of components or equipment for operation in continuous contact with a liquid, such as an immersed fuel pump.

Components and equipment can be contaminated by liquids during normal operation, accidental spillage, or leakage, for example, from faulty pipes or pipe joints.

The contaminating liquid may not be at a high temperature, but a component or equipment can become contaminated while at a high operating temperature or reach that temperature after becoming contaminated. So any effect may be due to the behavior of the pollutant at high temperature, for example, if it is volatile it may disappear quickly. If it is non-volatile and oxidizes slowly, a hard residue may remain.

Effects that can occur include packaging failure, cracking or swelling of plastics and rubbers, leaching of antioxidants and other soluble materials, seal failure, adhesion failures, removal of paint marks and corrosion.
