Splash Water Test
ISO 16750-4 ice water shock testing simulates thermal shock induced by water. The test applies to products in the splash areas of a vehicle. Splashing over a hot system/component occurs when driving on wet roads during the winter. A failure is defined as the mechanical cracking of materials. A failure may also occur when a seal fails due to different temperature expansion coefficients.
Splash Water Test – For this test, the unit under testing is heated for a specified time. The unit is then splashed with ice water for 3 seconds. If the unit is splashed in the vehicle from only one direction, it is splashed only from the specified direction. If the unit is splashed from various directions, these directions are taken to account. A new unit is used for each direction.
The test equipment has ranges and capacities of
Temperature Range: -50 to 150°C
Humidity Range: up to 98% RH
Water Temperature Range: 25°c to 0°C
