MIL-SPEC instrument-case from KeXinMaterials source factory. OEM/ODM, wholesale, factory-direct pricing. 9 WL series sizes WL1204-WL5020, IP67/MIL-STD-810H certified, MOQ 30, 12h quote, 30-day delivery to 47 countries.
IP67, MIL-STD-810H, ROHS, CE — the alphabet soup on MIL-SPEC instrument-case marketing pages can be overwhelming. This page cuts through the noise. We publish every test result and every certificate we hold.
For your reference, here are the WL series models we typically use for MIL-SPEC instrument-case applications. Outer dimensions (OD) are measured to the outside of the case; inner dimensions (ID) reflect the usable cavity after subtracting wall thickness. All in millimeters; imperial dimensions in our catalog PDF.
| Model | Outer (mm) | Inner (mm) | Weight (g) | Material | Size Class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WL2305 | 230×180×45 mm | 225×150×40 mm | 240 g | PP | Multimeter / Caliper |
| WL2808 | 275×230×82 mm | 265×190×76 mm | 480 g | PP+AS | Surveying Total Station |
| WL6030 | 600×450×300 mm | 575×420×280 mm | 4200 g | PP+AS | Lab / Test Kit |
The most common model for "MIL-SPEC instrument-case" buyers is the WL2305 (230×180×45 mm OD, 240 g empty weight, PP body).
Shell material for MIL-SPEC instrument-case is selected per use case: standard PP for general purpose, PP+GF for heavy-duty (10% glass fiber improves impact strength by 35%). Foam is 25 kg/m³ closed-cell PE, 0.5mm CNC cut tolerance. Anti-static ESD foam (10^6-10^11 Ω) available for electronics.
The shell is rated IP67 ingress protection and validated to MIL-STD-810H Method 516.8 (26 drops at 1.2m). Temperature range is -40 ~ +80 °C. The automatic pressure-equalization valve keeps the seal intact during air transport and at altitude. Latch is a double-throw design rated for 5,000 open/close cycles. All units are 100% inspected for wall thickness uniformity, latch engagement, and foam adhesion before shipping.
Here are 3 real MIL-SPEC instrument-case foam layouts from 2024-2026: (A) Sony A7 IV + 24-70mm + 70-200mm + 3 filters + 2 batteries — fits WL2808. (B) DJI Mavic 3 + RC + 4 batteries + charger — fits WL2005. (C) RED Komodo + 2 lenses + monitor + cables — fits WL5020. We share these at the 12h quote stage.
Top 5 mistakes we see in 2024: (1) Over-specifying size — buying WL5020 when WL3812 fits. (2) Choosing by price alone. (3) Skipping IP certification. (4) Ignoring latch type. (5) Not requesting lot certificates. All five add up to a 2-3x higher TCO over 5 years.
For alternatives: soft padded bags (¥50–200, $7–30) are cheaper but offer no real protection and last 6 months. Aluminum hard cases ($80–300) are heavier, prone to denting, and 2–4× the price. Carbon fiber cases ($300+) are overkill for 95% of B2B use cases. Our PP/PC engineering cases hit the sweet spot: 90% of the protection of aluminum at 30% of the weight and 50% of the cost, with 10-year typical service life.
After MIL-SPEC instrument-case ships: (1) We send QC photos before shipment. (2) Lot certificate with serial numbers. (3) 90-day defect replacement. (4) Foam re-cut service for equipment changes. (5) 5-year case body warranty. (6) Tooling stored 3 years for easy reorder.
Our cases pass MIL-STD-810H Method 516.8 with 26 drops at 1.2m. We can show you the test rig and the post-test inspection photos.
Established 2014. 13,000 sqm factory in Fusha Industrial Park, Zhongshan, Guangdong. 12 production lines, 60+ injection molding machines, 100+ employees, 20+ patents. Monthly capacity 80,000 units. Annual export revenue 8M+ USD to 47 countries.
Direct from the OEM. Unlike trading companies or sourcing agents who add 15–40% markup and disappear after delivery, KeXinMaterials handles everything in-house: mold development, injection molding, foam CNC cutting, QC testing, export documentation. Our 2024 buyer survey showed 87% repeat-order rate and 0.3% defect rate across 47 countries.

Both protect against dust (6 = dust-tight). IP67 = submersible 1m / 30 min. IP68 = submersible beyond 1m (typically 3-5m) / continuous. IP68 costs ~15% more due to reinforced seals and pressure valves.
ASTM B117 standard, 96 hours continuous salt spray (5% NaCl solution at 35°C). After 96 hours, no visible corrosion on metal parts, no delamination of surface coating. Standard for all outdoor-rated models.
UV exposure test per ASTM G154: 500 hours accelerated UV exposure (UVA-340 lamp, 60°C). After 500 hours, color shift ΔE < 2.0, no cracking, no chalking. Suitable for outdoor storage and direct sun exposure.
Anti-static foam option: surface resistance 10^6 to 10^11 Ω per ANSI/ESD S541. Standard foam is non-ESD. If you are transporting electronics (camera bodies, circuit boards, hard drives), specify anti-static foam.
UL94 V-2 standard (self-extinguishing within 30 seconds, no flaming drips). Higher UL94 V-0 rating available for select materials. We do not use materials with toxic flame retardants (Deca-BDE, HBCD) per ROHS.
