Pick your First Digit (Solid protection) and Second Digit (liquid protection) to build your IP Rating and see exactly what it means — from dust and debris resistance levels to water protection specs and common applications for that rating.

Simply select the first digit (0-6) for solid protection and second digit (0-8) for liquid protection. The calculator will instantly decode your IP rating and show what protection level it provides against dust and water ingress.
An IP code calculator helps you quickly understand protection ratings without memorizing complex standards. It's essential for selecting the right enclosures, electrical equipment, or devices for specific environmental conditions.
IP stands for Ingress Protection. It's an international standard (IEC 60529) that classifies the degree of protection provided by enclosures against intrusion of solid objects and water.
The highest standard IP rating is IP68, which provides complete dust protection and protection against continuous immersion in water beyond 1 meter depth.
IP44 is common for outdoor electrical boxes, IP65 for industrial equipment, IP67 for smartphones, and IP68 for underwater devices and marine equipment.
Yes, IP54 equipment is suitable for most outdoor applications as it provides dust protection and protection against water splashing from any direction.
Both provide dust-tight protection, but IP66 protects against powerful water jets while IP65 protects against low-pressure water jets. IP66 offers higher water protection.
IP67 provides better water protection (immersion up to 1m) than IP65 (water jets), but both offer the same dust protection. Choose based on your water exposure needs.
