Hi, We will run a no-clean wave solder process to assemble TV boards. What about incorporating a ROSE Test equipment (Ionograph, zero-ion, Omega Meter) in the process? Is it recommended, helpful or unnecessary? I�ve read about the use and limits of

A fairly painless method for monitoring cleanliness is Resistivity Of Solvent Extract [ROSE]. Equipment is: * Omegameter * Ionograph * Ion Chaser [Zero-Ion] Anyone who desires to use an Resistivity Of Solvent Extract tester should read EMPF repor

Three popular methods: Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) Test Method IPC-TM-650 2.3.25: The ROSE test method is used as a process control tool to detect the presence of bulk ionics. The IPC upper limit is set at 10.0 *g/NaCl/in2. This test is p

Hi, Is there a standard expiry date for a ROSE Test Instrument Like Ionographs, Omega Meters, Zero-Ion etc.? How can I verify if my OmegaMeter 500 which is almost 20 years old is providing me reliable data during testing? Note that the equipment is

Good day and thanks for your comments Mike, What did I understood from your notes� 1) ROSE test (�extracting solution�) is probably good enough (with good equipment) to penetrate the space under my micro BGA. 2) I should test 2 parallel batches of

Are you talking about bare board cleanliness or assembly level cleanliness? Bare board cleanliness is still primarily measured by resistivity of solvent extract (ROSE) using instruments such as Omegameters and Zero Ions. What is considered as "acce

The most common method is a R.O.S.E tester. They have been around for 30 years and are an industry standard for ionic contamination (flux and other residues) testing. Manufacturers include: Zero Ion www.aqueoustech.com Omegameter / Ionagraph http:/

Assemblers often assume that the board and component suppliers provide them with clean product. This was not a problem when everyone used water washable fluxes, because the water washing used to clean the flux residues also cleaned the board and com

The issue is not the cleanliness of your in-bound water. The issue is the cleanliness of the board your customer receives. Look at J-STD-001C, Para 8, "Cleanliness Requirements". The end product cleanliness is the end result of your: * In-bound

The criterion you use will depend on the test method you select. For minimum requirements, look at J-STD-001C, Para 8, "Cleanliness Requirements". I figure that you�d measure the residues on a lot of your current product, measure the res on a lot o
