What do you mean by "100% Waterproof"? Independent Testing In August 2008 IC Consultants Ltd (part of the Mechanical Engineering Department of Imperial College, London) were commissioned to make an independent assessment of the waterproofness of the Aquapac range. The tests were carried out using a purpose-built pressure chamber (pictured here). All the cases met Aquapac's waterproof claims (see below). Every case sealed with our patented Aquaclip® seal tested 100% waterproof to at least 0.5 bar, which is equivalent to a depth of 16.7 feet (5.1m) of water. Some tested waterproof to 2.0 bar, which is equivalent to 66.9 feet (20.4m) of water. In-House Testing During manufacture we batch-test the cases in our own pressure chamber for 5 minutes at 1.0 bar, which is equivalent to 33ft (10.1m) of water. We also do a simple, manual squeeze-in-a-basin test! Waterproof Rating System We've introduced a system to clearly identify the waterproofness of each Aquapac product. |
