Dust Protection

Dust exclusion in protective cases: sealing rim design, latch compression, gasket maintenance and field failure modes.

Design choices that keep dust out

  • A continuous, unbroken sealing rim
  • Enough latches that compression at the middle of a long edge approaches the corners
  • A channel geometry that can be cleaned
  • A gasket that springs back after years of being compressed
Verification policy

Only tests actually performed are described with figures. Where no test record exists for a model we say so, and quote the test as a separate work package.
