Wow, you're very correct. I guess we use silicone to calibrate our machine, as follows: XPS spectral measurements of dimethyl silicone should include O(2s) at 25 eV, Si(2p) at 102 eV, Si(2s) at 153 eV, C(1s) at 285 eV, and O(1s) at 533 eV. The C(1s

Military and most commercial standards requires post-soldered boards to measure less than 10 �g/in of NaCl (14 when using an Omegameter, 20 on a Ionagraph, and 37 on a Zero-Ion). As Dave stated, 6.5 �g/in of NaCl is called out in Mil-P-55110 for ba

This conversation reminds me of the old �How Many Engineers Does It Take To�� joke. We manufacturer the ionic contamination (ROSE, SEC) testers and I am not aware of anyone that performs such exacting surface area calculations. Most people use th

Casimir: Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) testers measure ionic contamination by washing boards with a DI water/IPA solution. (No-clean people: Stop and go on to something else.) The testers are process control instruments used to monitor a

Hi. Does anyone out there know of a way to calculate the surface area of populated PCB's? We build many different types, and until now have been using a water displacement method, which I believe to be fundamentally flawed. Our technique is to drop a

| If I clean my assembly and find no visable contamination with the unaided eye, do I need to do cleanliness testing prior to conformal coating? | Douglas, It is highly advisable to test for ionic contaminants because a coating seals in as well as

Hi, The bath is titanium coated, and the machine is only 2 years old, and was designed for lead free, so we know we don't need to change anything. The reason the supplier gave for suggesting the bath change is "other companies are doing it" and it'

Dave F asked me for an update on the SRS we evaluated last month... I like this machine. Over 80% of your wave dross is actually good solder; you just can't get to it without some type of separating agent. I like the mechanical sepration method mu
