IP68 Meter Case: Product & Manufacturer Overview

The IP68 Meter Case can be tailored to your brand and project: case color, silk-print or laser-engraved logo, foam layout and handle/wheel options are all adjustable. kexinMaterials, as the source factory, runs the whole journey from sample approval to mass production, including neutral shipping and OEM private label.

For instrument manufacturers, kexinMaterials runs co-packing programs — we develop a dedicated case and insert from your 3D data and ship in neutral or branded form, lowering warranty damage rates while unifying your delivery image.

Key facts: IP68 Meter Case sourcing facts: factory-direct from Guangdong, China; sealing up to IP67; service range -40°C to +80°C; CNC-cut EVA interiors; logo printing/engraving; factory audits and third-party QC welcome.

Product Feature Breakdown

IP67 waterproof

IP67 on IP68 Meter Case requires three things at once: a continuous O-ring gasket (Shore A 50–60 silicone or EPDM), a pressure-equalisation valve, and even clamping force from the latches. kexinMaterials immersion-tests every unit at 1 m for 30 minutes and retains the record.

Standards & Industry Data

IP Ratings (IEC 60529)

In IP67, the “6” means dust-tight (no dust ingress after a 2 kPa vacuum dust test) and the “7” means temporary immersion: the enclosure survives 30 minutes at 1 m depth with its highest point at least 150 mm below the surface, per IEC 60529 Clause 14.2.7.

Military Vibration (MIL-STD-810H, Method 514.8)

Random-vibration testing spans 20–2,000 Hz to replicate truck, aircraft and battlefield vibration, run for hours per axis; transport spectra cover 2–500 Hz. Passing means the shell-plus-foam system protects precision payloads through long multimodal transit.

Foam Inserts (EVA / PU / XLPE)

Three insert materials dominate: EVA (closed-cell, waterproof, firm support for precision instruments), PU foam (open-cell, soft cushioning, economical) and XLPE (chemically inert, non-shedding — preferred for medical and optics). CNC pockets are cut from the equipment's 3D data; drawing-to-first-sample typically takes 1–2 weeks.

Typical Applications

  • Surveying instrument field carry
  • Third-party lab on-site sampling
  • Metrology equipment calibration logistics
  • Fiber-optic construction toolkits
  • Laboratory relocation and equipment loans
  • Manufacturer co-packing programs

Product Overview

The kexinMaterials IP68 Meter Case is one-piece molded from engineering plastics, balancing impact strength, sealing and long-term durability — available from stock or fully customized. Key specs below.

On process: the IP68 Meter Case can be injection, rotational or blow molded. Injection gives precise sealing and repeatability; rotomolding yields large seamless shells with thick-wall toughness; blow molding suits light, economical builds. kexinMaterials runs all three lines and matches the process to your protection grade and budget.

For interior protection, the IP68 Meter Case ships with or accepts CNC-cut EVA/PE foam, routed to your equipment's 3D data so nothing shifts in transit; precision instruments can add ESD-safe or cushioned layered structures.

On quality, the IP68 Meter Case passes batch drop, stack and immersion checks; key models can be tested to MIL-STD-810H for drop and vibration, with material and third-party test reports supplied for export and industry acceptance.

Manufacturing Process

High-pressure injection molding keeps shell tolerances tight for reliable sealing, and inserts are CNC-cut after drop-simulation checks. Volume co-packing projects follow a PDI inspection routine so cushioning performance stays consistent across batches.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you protect an instrument's display panel?

The insert is relieved above the screen so nothing touches the display — load is carried only on the chassis frame, preventing lid pressure from reaching the glass. A soft pad can be added in the lid for two-way protection where needed.

Will air freight pressure lock the case shut?

No. The automatic pressure equalization valve balances internal pressure while keeping the seal waterproof.

Do you make 19-inch rack-mount cases?

Yes. We offer rack-frame protective cases supporting 2U to 8U equipment, with the rack isolated from the shell by shock mounts — suitable for field test systems, communications gear and mobile equipment rooms.

Do you offer anti-static interiors?

Yes — anti-static foam and conductive EVA with surface resistance in the 10^6–10^9 ohm range for PCBs and electronic modules.

MOQ and lead time?

50 pcs for stock sizes with 7-day dispatch; custom inserts 15–20 days; new tooling 35–45 days.

How do you keep instruments in calibration after shipping?

By interrupting the vibration path: high-density EVA is cut to the instrument profile so a 20–30 mm cushion separates it from the shell, with energy-absorbing foam underneath. For high-precision units we can add isolation mounts or a suspended insert to attenuate transport shock within the instrument's tolerance.

Key Terms Explained

IP67 rating
An ingress protection code from IEC 60529. The first digit 6 means dust-tight; the second digit 7 means no water ingress during 30 minutes at 1 m depth. It is the mainstream sealing benchmark for protective cases covering outdoor, marine and emergency short-immersion use.
Salt fog test
Continuous salt spray exposure per GB/T 10125 or ASTM B117 to assess corrosion resistance of metals and coatings. Case shells are inherently salt-resistant, so the test really evaluates hinges, latches and fasteners — critical for marine applications.
Pick-and-pluck foam
Pre-scored cubed foam that the user tears out cube by cube to form pockets around the equipment. It needs no tooling, ships fast and can be reconfigured, but offers less precision and support than CNC-cut EVA.

Common Misconceptions

Is IP68 simply a bigger number than IP67?

They are different tests. IP67 is 1 m immersion for 30 minutes. IP68 is defined by the manufacturer at a greater depth or duration and must state the conditions (e.g. IP68 2m/2h). An IP68 claim with no stated depth or time may protect less than a properly executed IP67. Ask for the test report, not just the label.
