The IP Rating chart below shows the various degrees of contaminant protection.  Each IP rating consists of two numbers. 

The first number defines the level of dust and foreign object protection and the second number defines the level of liquid protection.  air duct cleaning in boca raton flWhile IP ratings apply to the enclosure and not the air filter, air filters are a key component in meeting IP rating requirements for dust and water ingress protection and equipment reliability.alen air purifier canada Universal Air Filter Company specializes in providing design support to help engineers meet IP rating requirements for enclosures. air duct cleaning glen ellynContact UAF today for free design support and free made to specification prototypes. Contact UAF Engineering for Design Support Though air filters are not technically certified to an IP rating, the following IP Rated Air Filter Guide offers guidelines in selecting an air filter with the appropriate level of protection to help meeting an IP enclosure rating.

Air Filter Guide for IP Rated Applications UAF Product Line Recommendations* Outside Plant air filters offer the ultimate protection from harmful ingress.  A high efficiency media eliminates dust ingress and a specialty membrane eliminates water ingress. Quadrafoam air filters provide protection against dust ingress, and along with enclosure design features such as louvers can help to eliminate water ingress. Woven Screen air filters can provide protection against larger particles for compliance with the foreign object / probe portion of IP compiance. Custom High Efficiency air filters provide protection against dust ingress, and along with enclosure design features such as louvers can help to eliminate water ingress. Metal Mesh air filters provide protection against dust ingress, and along with enclosure design features such as louvers can help to eliminate water ingress. Polyester air filters provide protection against dust ingress, and along with enclosure design features such as louvers can help to eliminate water ingress.

*Air Filter perfomance is not based on enclosure (cabinet) level ratings. Ingress protection ratings, such as, IP, NEMA, GR-487, etc., are enclosure level ratings dependant on enclosure design and features, such as, louvers, hoods, snorkels, air intake labyrinth, gaskets, etc. Product recomendations are based on various air filter materials, performance characteristics, and customer feedback for similar applications. Protected against solid objects over 50mm (e.g. accidentally touched by hands) Protected against vertically falling drops of water Protected against solid objects over 12mm (e.g. fingers) Protected against direct sprays up to 15˚ from the vertical Protected against solid objects over 2.5mm (e.g. tools and wires) Protected against direct sprays up to 60˚ from the vertical Protected against solid objects over 1mm (e.g. tools, wires, and small wires) Protected against sprays from all directions – limited ingress permitted Protected against dust ingress

Protected against low pressure jets from all directions – limited ingress permitted Protected against high pressure jets from all directions – limited ingress permitted Protected against temporary immersion in water Protected against continuous immersion in water Pleated high efficiency air filters are designed for HVAC and industrial / commercial enclosure applications requiring MERV 11-15 dust efficiency and low airflow resistance Custom Outside Plant Air Filters keep dust, water, wind driven rain and salt fog out of electronics enclosures that use fresh air and direct air cooling systems. Metal Mesh Air Filters Metal Mesh filters are ideal for use in harsh environments where rugged, washable and reusable filters are most appropriate.
