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 "acceptable" cleanliness varies between specification and from company to company.

There is also a new cleanliness tester that looks at localized areas to provide a cleanliness reading and can extract a sample to use in ion chromatography testing. You can find out about it here: http://www.residues.com/C3.html

Hi GS, Just a clarification� No-clean does NOT equal no ions. It equals less ions (at best). Automatic R.O.S.E (Resistivity Of Solvent Extract) testers are commonly used to detect ionic contamination from no-clean applications. Your comment rega

Mike: An omega meter has very little to do with ion chromatography. * IPC TM-650, 2.3.25B, Detection and Measurement of Ionizable Surface Contaminants is a process control method that washes boards with an isopropanol / water solution and measures

I'm looking for test labs in Taiwan that are capable of performing ionic contamination testing on small to medium sized SMT boards. I'm interested in both ion chromatography and ROSE test methodologies. Is anyone aware of any labs performing contami

ROSE has the advantage in that it does have a specific acceptance criteria (J-STD-001), whereas the IC does not. ROSE allows the test to be run at ambient or at an elevated temp, IC requires the component/board/assembly to be "cooked" for 1 hour @ 8

Yes Ion Chromatography can when using a isolated extraction system called the C3 tester. Please email me or call of-line and we can show you what we have done for others to not only idendity the flux cleanliness levels but to qualify the cleaning pr

Hi, Thank you for your answers. But I want to explain some points on which I would appreciate any comment: * Having calibrated the process, we intend to carry out the ROSE test just on SAMPLES of the finished boards. Lets say one every hour. I exp

Hi, Can you guide with the above? I read ROSE Test is a process control tool. What about Ion Chromatography, SIR and FT-IR. What Accpetance Criteria will I use for our assembly when using WS Flux? My WS Flus says it has 0% Halide so What can Ion Chr

I am not expert, just my comment, the total ionic contamination allowed after SMT, by using No Clean process, theoretically it should be close to Zero. Any way the Standard IPC-JSTD-001 allows 1,56 ugr NaCl/cm2 for the final Printed Board assembled.
