A Customer has asked me about a chart that allows for temperature compensation when measuring specific gravity in a wave solder machine. Anyone know of any temp. conv. chart? Thanks

Bruce, Using a foam fluxer with no-clean flux is a very touchy situation. It is imperative that the specific gravity of any flux be maintained within the manufacturers recommendations. If it is not, you will get icicles and bridging. Maintaining the

Hi This will vary between flux used your flux supplier should be able to furnish with these easily.

You folks are AMAZING. Thank you very much for all of your input. Hope it helps the customer.

Jacki - using the airknife is not going to help your bridging problems. You will need to keep an eye on your specific gravity of your flux. You may need to thin the flux that you are using. Also the ultimate fix is a vibra wave. I would almost be tha

Hi, It really depends on what your measuring. If it's water, then that has a specific gravity of 1, so with the metric system 1 Kilogram of water is equal to 1 liter of water. That's nice the way they did that. The conversion from 1 US Gallon to 1

Bruce, You didn't mention whether you had checked the specific gravity of the flux. Also, most flux manufacturers recommend getting rid of the flux after 40 hours of use.

No don't know about such a chart. But, consider changing the method used to check flux activity. Consult your flux supplier for a test kit that will measure actual activity (acidity). SG is a suggestive method.

Assuming the poor hole fill is not localized, try: * Inadequate preheat * Flux specific gravity is low * Low solder temperature * Conveyor is running too fast * Solder pot is contaminated

Where exactly does specific gravity help convert volume si units to imperial units? How about Google. search for volume converter or unit converter...
