Rain spray test apparatus is mainly suitable for waterproof performance test and UL waterproof level test of communication equipment, auto parts, outdoor lamps, auto lamps, household appliances, electric cabinet power supplies, outdoor lighting and signal devices. The sample or equipment to be tested may be affected by water intrusion during transportation or use. It is very smart idea to use the waterproof rain test apparatus for testing and verification of the sample or equipment being tested. After the sample is tested, it is judged whether the performance of the product meets the requirements through inspection, so as to facilitate product design, improvement, verification and factory inspection.
Standards such as UL 50E and UL 1598 provide detailed requirements for rain spray testing, and dedicated rain spray test apparatus are available to carry out these tests accurately and reliably. Rain spray test apparatus from Wewon Tech comply with UL test standards, such as UL 50E, UL 1278, UL 484, UL 1598, UL 3703.

Rain spray test apparatus are used to test the waterproof capabilities of products that are designed for outdoor use, such as electrical enclosures, outdoor lighting fixtures and garden furniture. The test is carried out to ensure that the products meet the requisite safety standards and specifications, and can withstand exposure to rain and moisture in real-world conditions.
One of the commonly used standards for rain spray testing is UL 50E, which is published by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), an independent safety organization based in the United States. UL 50E outlines the requirements for enclosures used in electrical installations, and includes specifications for rain spray testing. The test involves spraying the enclosure with water from a calibrated nozzle for a specified duration and at a specific flow rate. The enclosure must then be checked for water ingress, and should not show any signs of penetration.
Rain spray test apparatus from Wewon Environmental Chambers Co., Ltd. is suitable for UL rain test of products, such as UL50E、U | Equipment Features |
Components of Wewon’s rain test lab equipment: UL rain test device (3 UL nozzles above) | |
The main part of the device frame is made of formed aluminum material, which is stable in structure and easy to clean. | |
The nozzle holder for UL rain spray waterproof test equipment is movable and can be raised and lowered freely by the hand crank device. | |
Rain test apparatus from Wewon Tech adopts the original imported nozzle of UL laboratory, which fully conforms to the UL standard. | |
The base of the bracket adopts universal casters with brakes, which is convenient to move and fix. | |
Equipment with SUS high-quality stainless steel pressure gauge is used to display the water spray flow (each nozzle has a corresponding pressure gauge). |
Another standard that is commonly used in the rain spray testing of outdoor lighting fixtures is UL 1598, also published by UL. This standard outlines the requirements for lighting fixtures intended for outdoor use, and includes specifications for rain spray testing. The test involves spraying the fixture with water from a calibrated nozzle for a specified duration and at a specific flow rate. The fixture must then be checked for water ingress, and should not show any signs of penetration.
Rain spray test apparatus is used to evaluate whether the electronic and electrical equipment, enclosures and seals can ensure the good performance of equipment and components in the rain environment. It can simulate various environments such as dripping, splashing, etc. The realization of fully automatic product operation application of Rain spray test apparatus is the mainstream of today’s social development UL 50E Rain Test Apparatus
The rain spray waterproof test equipment has the functions of self-calibration, self-inspection, self-diagnosis and self-adaptation; it has the data processing capability of complex calculation and error correction; the products with the function of automatically completing the specified measurement tasks can effectively improve the work efficiency. With the rapid development of internationalization and network technology, UL Rain test apparatus is gradually changing to industrial control and intelligent rain test chamber system design.
Wewon Environmental Chambers Co., Ltd. knows that the future waterproof rain test apparatus will integrate computer technology and cloud computing technology to realize its network and internationalization. Rain spray test apparatus that can be controlled, monitored, maintained and diagnosed remotely will be an important direction for future development.
