Summary of

11、Practice4.1 A part, material or component is placed in a containercontaining the cleaning agent. This container is then placed inan ultrasonic cleaner and treated for a given period of time atthe recommended temperature for the cleaning agent. Thisresults in a solution if the contaminant is soluble

12、in the testfluid or a emulsion if the contaminant is not soluble in the testfluid. The cleaning solution combined with the rinse solutionsmay then be analyzed for particulate, NVR, or total carbon(TC).4.1.1 In the case of aqueous based agents, the parts arerinsed after the removal from the cleaning

The particles captured by the filter arethen counted using Test Method F 311.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is suit

17、able for the removal of contaminantsfound on materials, parts, and components used in systemsrequiring a high level of cleanliness, such as oxygen. Partsshall have been precleaned to remove visible contaminantsprior to using this procedure. Softgoods such as seals and valveseats may be cleaned witho

18、ut precleaning.5.2 This procedure may also be used as the cleanlinessverification technique for coupons used during cleaning effec-tiveness tests as in Test Method G 122.5.3 The cleaning efficiency has been shown to vary with thefrequency and power density of the ultrasonic unit. Lowfrequencies in t

19、he 20 to 25 kilohertz range have been found todamage soft metals such as aluminum and silver. Therefore, thespecifications of the unit and the frequencies available must beconsidered in order to optimize the cleaning conditions withoutdamaging the parts.6. Apparatus6.1 Ultrasonic Cleaner, with an op

20、erating frequency rangebetween 25 and 90 kHz, a typical power range between 10 and25 W/L, and a temperature controlled bath capable of main-taining a temperature between ambient and 70C with anaccuracy of 2C.6.2 Parts Pans, stainless steel container with volumesbetween 1 and 4 L.6.3 Bracket, stainle

21、ss steel device capable of supporting theparts pans in the ultrasonic bath.NOTE 1The bracket should be designed to hang in the ultrasonic bathwithout contact with the bottom.7. Reagents7.1 Solvents such as the following may be used: tetrachlo-roethylene (perchloroethylene), trichloroethylene, methyl

22、enechloride, and perfluorinated carbon fluids.NOTE 2Warning: Solvents such as tetrachloroethylene (perchloroet-hylene), trichloroethylene, and methylene chloride have relative lowthreshold limit values and the user should refer to appropriate safehandling procedures, particularly in open tanks. Many

23、 solvents are notconsidered to be compatible with oxygen and must be completelyremoved from cleaned components prior to the use of these componentsin oxygen systems. The preferred method of removal shall be determinedby the user.7.2 Purity of ReagentsReagent grade chemicals shall beused in all tests

24、. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytical Reagents of the American Chemical Society wheresuch specifications are available.6Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhig

25、h purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination. Detergents used shall be identified bymanufacturer and name (registered trademark, if any).7.3 Purity of WaterThe water used shall meet the require-ments of Specification D 1193, Type II.8. Procedure8.1 Sample Preparation

26、:8.1.1 If cleanliness verification is to be performed on controlor test coupons, prepare the coupons in accordance withPractice G 121.8.1.2 If cleanliness verification is to be performed on smallparts, measure the total surface area (S) in square centimetresor the mass in grams, or both, as applicab

27、le, to the nearest tenthof a milligram (M1). Record the surface area (S) and mass(M1).8.2 Preliminary Procedure:8.2.1 If a cleaning agent is being used that requires dilutionor special preparation, carefully follow the manufacturersinstructions. Use Type II water to prepare the aqueous cleaningagent

28、 solutions or as the actual cleaning agent.NOTE 3It has been found that many common hydrocarbon basedlubricants are effectively removed to acceptable levels using Type II waterat 50 to 55C. More difficult to remove contaminants, such as fluorinatedor silicone based lubricants, have typically been fo

29、und to require the useof surface active agents. Use Practice G 122 to evaluate the cleaningeffectiveness of the proposed cleaning agent.8.2.2 Fill the ultrasonic bath to the level specified by themanufacturer with water. Place the support bracket in theultrasonic bath, heat the ultrasonic bath to th

30、e desired tempera-ture, and degas the water for 10 min.8.2.3 Clean the stainless steel sample parts pan to be used.Conduct the sampling procedure using the selected cleaningagent without parts to verify the cleanliness of the parts pan.Use the same sampling and analysis procedures that will beused o

31、n the actual parts. Determine the contamination level ofthe parts pan, the blank value (B), which shall be less than theallowable contamination level for the items being cleaned orextracted. If the contamination level of the parts pan is greaterthan that specified for the parts, reclean the parts pa

32、n until thecontamination level is less than the allowable contaminationspecified for the parts.8.3 Cleaning Procedure:8.3.1 Place the material or part(s) being cleaned in thestainless steel parts pan.8.3.2 Pour a measured amount of the cleaning agent into thestainless steel cleaning pan sufficient t

Thencover the parts pan with foil and

36、 place into the bracket in thebath and allow the cleaning agent to equilibrate to thetemperature of the bath.8.3.2.1 Cleaning agent to parts surface area ratio shall notexceed 1000 mL/0.1 m2; the preferred ratio is 500 mL/0.1 m2.8.3.3 Clean the parts in the ultrasonic bath for 10 min. If anaqueous d

37、etergent or surfactant solution was used for cleaning,thoroughly rinse the parts with Type II water and then performthe ultrasonic procedure with fresh Type II water. Perform thesampling procedure as soon as possible within a maximumtime limit of 120 min after turning off the ultrasonic cleaner.8.4
