We have an ICOM 6000 rose tester and everytime we run a program the machine stops and says "resistivity error". We have changed filters and calibrated the solution with no luck. Any ideas?

I am not familiar with the ICOM 6000, but we have an ICOM 5000. It could be possible that your Resistivty probe is bad, or possibly disconnected? We've also had different errors that were simply caused by not having enough solution in the tank. J

Could it be that the IPA you are using in the solvent/DI mix is not anhydrous, or in some other way not the correct purity? If it is not correct you will not be able to calibrate. Best rgds, Peter B.

This is a (Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) tester. Per IPC standards, ROSE testers use a test solution comprised of 75% IPA (99% pure) and 25% DI water. -Mike Konrad Aqueous Technologies www.aqueoustech.com konrad@aqueoustech.com

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

How does no-clean flux residues on a PCB assembly impact the ROSE testing? Does no-clean flux residues on the PCBA dissolve in solution of ROSE tester and increase ionic contaminants level in terms of NaCl per surface area? Is ROSE tester solution (a

Richard, With respect to the Resistivity of Solvent Extract (ROSE) test, the test solution is exceptionally aggressive. With the Zero-Ion for example, the test solution�s resistivity is 150 M-Ohms. Additionally, because test solution is made up of

ROSE testing a post-reflow assembly which has been reflowed using no-clean flux may not yield information that is helpful. No-clean flux technology works by encapsulating the flux's activators and other chemical constitutes that would be harmful if l

Hi Richard My experience with R.O.S.E. testers has been positive with regard to detecting ionic contamination (even exceptionally low levels). As previously mentioned, a good R.O.S.E tester will be able to detect minuet levels of ionic contaminatio

Both are equally efficient process control tools. Neither is particularly effective in testing ionic contamination. The best way to sell your customer on allowing you to do this is to show them that you understand the WHOLE process and are able
