Why is Environmental Protection Important to Load Cells? IP67 means the product is dust-tight and immersible up to 3 ft. 3 in. in depth. Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time. The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) number, meanwhile, is typically used in North America. NEMA6 equates to IP67.
