We have an Ionic Contamination Testing system but short of having a monitoring record for the chemical concentration. What we have is a monthly maintenance check of the concentration and annual check and calibration of the chemicals. We seldom use th

Most ionic contamination testers prompt the operator for the current concentration at the start of each cycle. The normal concentration is 25% DI Water and 75% IPA. Although most machines ask for the current concentration, concentration adjustments

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:/

Neither the Omega meter nor the IC are officially "destructive" tests, but everywhere I worked we treated them that way. The boards were scrapped after the test. The Omega meter can be tested at elevated temps, but the IC sample is extracted at ele

Rick, Ultrasonics can damage some components that react to the mechanical action of the ultrasonics inside the device. Some component mfr data sheets will comment on ultrasonics. Better safe than sorry. Dean makes a good point if you can change so
