It does work. I tried it myself back in the day. You might look at used equipment to find and automatic flux density machine.

I haven't seen a hydrometer used in years. Are you still foam fluxing? There used to be automatic units available, but with the advent of the spray fluxer, they may have dried up. If you are still foam fluxing with alcohol thinner, place ping pong

Just wanted to take a quick poll, as to how others are taking flux density measurements on their wave solder machines.(those that don't have flux density contollers) We are using a glass hydrometer, but I see there is a digital model on the market.

Density is an "implied" measurement to determine activity. Most flux suppliers can sell you a flux acidity (activity) measurement kit. I used one from Multicore a few years back. We used it once in the morning and once after lunch to monitor no-clean

Russ We agree with your comments on plugging from one side only. But... We believe that it IS possible to trap process chemicals [technically, not flux] in a blind [or any other] via. This can be done by plating the via closed, rather than pluggi

I've had a lot of experience with solder spatter. It's usually related to moisture (humidity) uptake by the paste, or outgassing from plating: particularly Au/Ni. Solder spatter from the plating will change from board-vendor to board-vendor. I shoul

We have received several e-mails and phone calls regarding the Permali recommendation of cleaning Durostone pallets so I thought I would address these questions on the forum for everyone's benefit. Q: Can 440-R SMT Detergent be used for manual clean
