Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD). A test that measures how much of the oxygen dissolved in water is consumed by biological oxidation of the chemical in the water during the stated period of time. [Water from an exceptionally clear lake might show a BO

We used to bake [100*C for 6 hours] all of our boards, but no longer bake at all. Before going off, your bake recipe is probaly OK. If anything, it's probably too short. Consider measuring the weight of wet boards, baking for a time, measure, bake

Hello martys, The critical variables to measure print process capability on any printer are its ability to securely clamp a board, accurately align the board to its mating stencil, print with appropriate squeegee pressure and follow print material gu

Tact time is a poor measure of your throughput capability. The Number of boards produced per hour or shift or 24 hour period is the true measure of what you are really doing. Your theoretial "tact time" can be used as a metric to judge performance,

Consider: * Sn has a higher melting point than Pb. So the liquidous temperature of this new, non-Sn63 is going to be higher than 183*C. What was the thermal recipe measured on this solder connection? * Next thing we'd do is take problem devices and

The Omegameter (or Ionograph) detect contamination by measuring the conductivity of the solution used to extract the board. This conductivity number reflects the sum of all of the ionics in the extraction solution. Unfortunately, we can't sort out th

IPC-7530 "Guidelines for Temperature Profiling for Mass Soldering Processes (Reflow & Wave)" As you observe, the temperature you measure will depend on what you are measuring. For instance: * Hottest temperature in the oven - air in the oven * Hott

Whoever established the PPM rates should tell you what it is covering (solder joints/assemblies) PPM is nothing more than a ratio. Determining quality levels is really up to you/company and how you want to measure your quality. This can be anything

The sampling rate on the KIC software can be changed by the user. The default setting is a sample rate of 60 seconds, so that, every 60 seconds the "old" measurement is subtracted from the "new" measurement to calculate the slope (i.e., start temp i

I have used both 4 and 5 mil stencils for 10 mil round apertures. We don't have volume measurement capability but we measure height and the 4 mil appeared to have more paste and better uniformity from a visual standpoint than the 5 mil. The unfortu
