Climatics » Immersion, Water Ingress & Sealing Verification Testing

At E-Labs, we understand that when equipment is exposed to water — whether splash, submersion or continuous contact — the real test is whether internal components remain sealed and fully functional. Our immersion testing services are designed to provide manufacturers and engineers with the confidence that their products will perform reliably in wet environments.

Immersion Testing at E-Labs:

• Our immersion testing evaluates units of many sizes, from small components to fully assembled systems, to determine whether water intrusion occurs under specified conditions.
• We measure the exact amount of water that may have entered a unit, and we provide documented results so you have verifiable data on sealing performance.
• Our testing is performed in accordance with recognized industry standards, and we are ISO 17025 accredited, giving you documented assurance of quality.

Why Immersion Testing Matters

Water ingress is a major risk for electronics, mechanical systems and any sealed enclosure used in harsh or wet environments—whether aerospace, military, industrial, off-shore or commercial. Even minor water leakage can lead to corrosion, short circuits, malfunction, or complete unit failure. By subjecting your product to immersion testing, you ensure that it meets the required sealing integrity, avoids costly rework or field failures, and meets warranty or safety expectations.

Our Immersion Testing Approach

• We source or build test fixtures that allow your unit under test (UUT) to be fully submerged or partially immersed under controlled conditions.
• We apply specified immersion times, depths, temperatures and pressures as dictated by your product requirements or the relevant standard.
• After immersion, we inspect the unit, measure any internal water intrusion, document the results and provide a detailed test report.
• We can also work with you to design a custom immersion test program if your application or specification demands something specialized.

Benefits to You

• Verified sealing performance: You receive quantitative data showing water ingress or confirming resistance.
• Risk mitigation: Early detection of sealing weakness prevents costly downtime or field failures.
• Compliance support: Our documented testing helps satisfy requirements such as ingress protection (IP), MIL-STD or other customer-specific standards.
• Trusted partner: Leveraging decades of experience in environmental and climatic testing, E-Labs brings expertise and reliability to your test program.
