You can download all the IPC-TM-650 test methods from the IPC website. We've dealt with Trace Labs, but I'm not sure if they have a west coast branch.

Hey Dougie, If you go to IPC.ORG and click on the on-line resources and databases, then on the "free downloads" link, the second or third document "for free" is the IPC-TM-650 in its entirety. It does discuss the test you are looking for! Have fun
