Aqueous Technologies manufactures the Zero-Ion ionic contamination tester. The Zero-Ion utilizes dynamic-based technology and has been assigned the highest equivalency value by the NAWC. It is among the most sensitive of all of the military-approved

Adam, I can't disagree with Pete that an Ionic contamination test may ID the affected boards. However, if you have a large number of boards to test, this may not be the answer. Omegameter testing takes 10-15 minutes per unit if memory serves. On

thanks a lot sir davef. which is better between the two, static or dynamic? localized testing (C3) or bulk testing (Omegameter/Zero Ion)? do I really have to purchase this unit despite having an aqueous cleaner? thanks again...

Does anybody have any information regarding an Omegameter 500 (Kenco Industries)? We’ve run 4000+ tests with this machine and all have produced a pass result without a single failure, starting to wonder if tests aren’t accurately assessing PCB cleanl

I am not aware of any correlation that temperature and pressure is a good indicator of board cleanliness. You can drop a thermometer into the tank to verify the temperature. Water cleanness/Ph are more important. If you are truly worried about board

Have you talked to people [Specialty Coating Systems 800-356-8260 317-244-1200 scscoatings.com/parylene_equipment/omegameter.aspx] about repairing your Omegameter? Major differences between the testers are: * Ionograph measures conductivity, while t

Kelvin, Yes, we're referencing the same spec. I performed the test under the Class 2 conditions (except that I used a 100V bias rather than 50V...but my water-washed microBGAs still passed). Regarding the omegameter test: we have this instrument,

Q1: static or dynamic? A1: search the fine SMTnet Archives. For instance, http://www.smtnet.com/forums/Index.cfm?CFApp=1&Message_ID=44837 Q2: localized testing (C3) or bulk testing (Omegameter/Zero Ion)? A2: depends on the contamination that you're

If the flux is already eating thru Cu it must have been some time since the boards were soldered with the OA flux. Ionic contamination testing (with OmegaMeter or IonoGraph)can be done to find contaminated boards and cleaning the boards can be done

Yes, the OmegaMeter and IonoGraph are test equipment to measure ionic contamination. Either of those units should enable you to sort your inventory boards. for more info about this equipment, go to: www.cooksonee.com/products/scs/CoatingSystems/Ionic
