Military and most commercial standards requires post-soldered boards to measure less than 10 �g/in of NaCl (14 when using an Omegameter, 20 on a Ionagraph, and 37 on a Zero-Ion). As Dave stated, 6.5 �g/in of NaCl is called out in Mil-P-55110 for ba

Regarding your customer suditor, it would have been nice if you said something like ... Routinely, our testing shall be less than 1.56 microgram/cm^2 NaCl equivalent ionic or ionizable flux residue, according to TM-650, Method 2.3.35 'Detection And

Are you talking about bare board cleanliness or assembly level cleanliness? 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 "acce

Hi guys, I really am at a loss to understand this one. It would appear that there may be some reaction between the flux and the resist? Or maybe you have an OSP on the board that is reacting during soldering? As a fast fix, maybe you should try a

The "Rose" test is a process control tool because it is cheap and easy to use. It has it's problems; but, it is generally agreed to be the best tool available for this purpose. All others are much more expensive and time consuming to run every day.

Who says the chlorine comes from your tap water? Our PTOW dumps boat loads of chlorine into our water periodically. Sometimes it's so bad you can smell it. We doubt that it is the source of your problem. This chlorine will volitize very quickly,

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

|I'm getting in a little late on this but my 2 cents is: We have been using no-clean flux for a few years now but up till last month were still cleaning (the white residue) our boards (all thru hole). Finally did some investigation and found the flux
