Medium Laboratory Equipment Case: confirm internal dimensions first (equipment size plus foam allowance), then protection rating (IP67 is the benchmark) and shell material (PP for value, ABS for surface hardness, rotomolded PE for large sizes). Custom sizes available via tooling.
An instrument case protects precision measuring and testing equipment in transit, emphasizing shock absorption, moisture resistance and custom foam so instruments stay calibrated between lab and field.
Medium Laboratory Equipment Case: Product & Manufacturer Overview
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.
Test instruments and surveying equipment are sensitive to shock, vibration and condensation. A proper Medium Laboratory Equipment Case extends laboratory-grade protection into transit and field use. kexinMaterials combines IP67 molded shells with engineered cushioning systems for the instrumentation industry.

Standards & Industry Data
Shell Materials Compared (PP / ABS / PE)
Industry data puts PP (polypropylene) at ~55% of plastic protective-case share — strong chemical resistance, low-temperature toughness and cost efficiency; ABS holds ~30% with harder, glossier surfaces; large thick-wall cases favor rotomolded PE. Plastic/polymer cases together account for 63.7% of the industrial protective case market (2025).
Extreme Temperature Performance
Engineering-grade cases typically operate from -30°C to +80°C (military testing follows MIL-STD-810H Methods 501.7/502.7 for temperature and 503.7 for thermal shock, cycling as wide as -40°C↔+71°C). For cold climates choose PP copolymer or PE shells — standard ABS embrittles at low temperatures.
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.
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
Sizing & Selection Guide
To size a Medium Laboratory Equipment Case, measure the largest 3D dimensions of the payload and allow 30–50 mm per side for foam, then match against internal case dimensions. Above 30 kg payloads, add wheels and reinforced bases.
kexinMaterials stocks a full size run from personal cases to large transit trunks with published internal dimensions; if nothing fits, we evaluate mold revisions or new tooling — selection advice is free.
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.
Field Case Studies
600 anti-static liner cases for precision calibrators using non-shedding XLPE; zero scratch incidents in annual off-site checks.
3,000 cases CNC-cut to probe shapes, thermal-shock verified -40°C↔+71°C, protecting gear across overseas expos.
