Learning About IP Ratings: Why IP65/IP66 Is Important to Industrial Monitors

If you’re picking a monitor or industrial touch monitor for tough work spots, it needs to be strong and dependable. Check the IP rating! It tells you how well it handles dust, grime, and water, you know, the usual stuff in factories, docks, or outside.

For companies in rough industries, knowing if a product is IP65 or IP66 can change how things work, how safe they are, and how much you spend later.

What Are IP Ratings?

The IP rating system developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) uses two numbers to define the degree of protection of a product from solid and liquid particles.

• First Digit (0-6): Indicates protection against solid particles like dust or dirt.
  

• Second Digit (0-9): indicates protection against water entry.

An IP65 rating, for example, indicates:

• 6: Dust-tight, no particle is allowed to enter.
  

• 5: Protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction.

An IP66 rating indicates:

• 6: Dust-tight.
  

• 6: Protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction.

Why IP65/IP66 is Critical in Industrial Environments

Conditions in industry can be harsh. Dust, spilling liquids, and wiping all clean can damage delicate electronics if not shielded from harm. That is why IP65/IP66 protection is required for your industrial monitor or industrial touch monitor:

Dust Resistance for Longevity

In manufacturing or mining, suspended dust can enter hardware and lead to short-circuiting or overheating. IP65/IP66-rated display guarantees sealed housing without letting in dust at all, lengthening the life of your equipment.

Water Protection for Performance and Safety

From splashes to pressure washing of food processing plant rooms, water contact is inevitable. IP65 screens withstand frequent cleaning, and IP66 screens offer even higher protection from high-pressure washdowns, ideal for those with demanding sanitation requirements.

Versatility Across Environments

From an outdoor kiosk in rainy driving conditions to a factory control panel in a dirty industrial setting, IP65/IP66-rated monitors have whatever it takes to survive any application without sacrificing performance.
