Your machine is a quality control tool. It's good for measuring trends, like the way that you use the scale in your bathroom. It's not intended to be an absolute measure. Background on cleanliness tests * http://www.empf.org/empfasis/oct03/603clean.

Thanks for your input Michael. Basically the boards had been go through from washing and even ionic contamination already. In order to eliminate or detect the flux residues, is there any equipment something like a uv lamp that can detect the flux fro

150º de-ionized water, however, if you're doing hobby work at home, regular hot water will be fine. Just be sure to allow the water to dry sufficiently before powering up the board. You can also use IPA or a custom flux cleaning solvent available o

Yes neither our HPLC IC nor our C3 could detect any concerning levels of ionics. Soaking over a weekend sounds like a good idea, though I may still need to cut the board down to fit our Kapak bag size. And get our silicone coating off the surface. K

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

Wayne, I think Dave and Justin are correct but I would just add my twopennworth: Your customer presumably wants to know if the end-product will be reliable? If he/she wants you to prove cleanliness, ask them for the spec they want to work to and app
