IPX7 Ingress Protection - Waterproof
IPX7 Ingress Protection - Waterproof
IPX7 is an industry-standard rating that signifies a product's level of protection against water and moisture. The "IP" stands for "Ingress Protection," while the "X" is a placeholder for dust resistance (not applicable here). The "7" specifically denotes the product's waterproof capability. In IPX7-rated devices, the "X" indicates that there's no rating for dust intrusion, while the "7" means the device can be submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes without suffering damage.

Imagine you have a rugged hard case for your smartphone with an IPX7 rating. This means that if you accidentally drop your phone in a puddle or a shallow pool, the case is designed to keep your phone safe and dry even if it's submerged for up to half an hour. So, whether you're caught in a rainstorm or decide to take some underwater photos, your phone remains protected from water damage thanks to its IPX7 Ingress Protection rating.
IP6X Ingress Protection - Dustproof
IP6X Ingress Protection - Dustproof
IP6X represents an industry-standard rating that indicates a product's level of protection against the intrusion of dust and solid particles. The "IP" stands for "Ingress Protection," while the "6" specifically signifies the product's dustproof capability. An IP6X-rated device or enclosure has undergone testing and validation to ensure that it offers complete protection against the entry of fine dust particles, preventing them from harming the internal components.

Imagine you have a rugged hard case for your sensitive electronic equipment with an IP6X rating. In practical terms, this means that no matter how dusty the environment is, the case is engineered to keep out even the tiniest dust particles. So, whether you're on a desert expedition or working in a dusty construction site, your valuable electronics remain shielded from dust and potential damage, thanks to their IP6X Ingress Protection rating.
ATA Specification 300 - Category 1 Impact
ATA Specification 300 - Category 1 Impact
ATA Specification 300 is a set of industry standards and guidelines for the design and testing of transport cases, particularly those used to safeguard delicate or sensitive equipment during transit. Within this specification, "Category 1 Impact" refers to a rigorous testing criterion. It signifies that a hard case, such as a protective container for fragile instruments, has been tested and certified to withstand a severe impact, typically a drop from a specified height, without compromising the integrity of its contents.

Consider a scenario where you're transporting a high-end camera in a hard case designed to meet ATA Specification 300 - Category 1 Impact standards. If, during your journey, the case accidentally falls from a height, the camera and its accessories will remain unharmed inside the case. This certification ensures that even in rough handling situations, your valuable equipment stays well-protected, making it a reliable choice for photographers and professionals who frequently travel with fragile gear.
ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Drop Test
ASTM D-4169 DC-18 is a standardized testing procedure used to assess the durability of packaging, including hard cases, by subjecting them to controlled drops from specified heights and angles, simulating the stresses encountered during shipping and handling.

When a hard case undergoes an ASTM D-4169 DC-18 drop test, it's like verifying that a laptop inside remains unharmed after falling from a conveyor belt during airport luggage handling.
ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Vibration
ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Vibration Test is a standardized evaluation process used to assess the ability of packaging, such as hard cases, to withstand the vibrational forces encountered during transportation, ensuring the protection of contents.

Subjecting a hard case to an ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Vibration Test is akin to verifying that a camera inside remains undamaged despite enduring bumpy road conditions during shipment.
ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Rainfall
ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Rainfall Test is a standardized procedure used to evaluate the ability of packaging, including hard cases, to protect its contents from moisture and rain during transportation, ensuring items remain dry and undamaged.

Subjecting a hard case to an ASTM D-4169 DC-18 Rainfall Test is akin to confirming that sensitive electronics inside remain unharmed even in a heavy downpour during shipment.
MIL-STD-810F Immersion
The MIL-STD-810F Immersion Test is a military standard procedure used to assess the ability of equipment, including hard cases, to withstand submersion in water, ensuring they remain operational and undamaged when exposed to wet environments.

Subjecting a hard case to the MIL-STD-810F Immersion Test is like verifying that its contents, such as sensitive instruments, continue to function flawlessly after being submerged in water during field operations.
PowerClaw Superior Latching System

PowerClaw Superior Latching System

Close with confidence. Open with ease.

Ensuring that your smaller gear stays well protected from the elements, this NANUK case's patented PowerClaw latching system uses compressive force and triple action to clamp your case tight.

Indestructible & Lightweight NK-7 Resin

High-Impact Protection. A fraction of the weight.

Impact-resistant, lightweight, and armed with an NK-7 resin body, this NANUK case is designed with rounded corners, thick, strong walls, and oversized details. No matter what nature throws its way, NANUK is built to survive. This NANUK is shock-absorbent to prevent damage to the case and, more importantly, to the valuable contents.

Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Automatic Pressure Release Valve

Keep your case from sealing shut. Automatically.

Changes in altitude, temperature, humidity and geographic location create a “vacuum lock” which can effectively seal a case shut. NANUK's integrated auto-pressure valve equalizes this atmospheric pressure difference. Using state-of-the-art technology, the micro vent allows air to pass through while preventing water from entering.
