Summary of Practice4

11、.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 in the te

12、stfluid 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 bath and

16、. United States14.1.2 In the case of solvent based agents, the parts are rinsedwith fresh solvent, which is collected and combined with thesolvent used in the cleaning process, and the NVR determinedusing Test Method E1235, Test Method F324, or Test MethodF331, as appropriate.4.1.3 Particulate analy

17、ses may be performed by filtering thefinal cleaning solution. The particles captured by the filter arethen counted using Practice F311.5. Significance and Use5.1 This practice is suitable for the removal of contaminantsfound on materials, parts, and components used in systemsrequiring a high level o

18、f 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 without precleaning.5.2 This procedure may also be used as the cleanlinessverification technique for coupons used during c

19、leaning effec-tiveness tests as in Test Method G122.5.3 The cleaning efficiency has been shown to vary with thefrequency and power density of the ultrasonic unit. Lowfrequencies in the 20 to 25 kilohertz range have been found todamage soft metals such as aluminum and silver.Therefore, thespecificati

20、ons 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 operating frequency rangebetween 25 and 90 kHz, a typical power range between 10 and25 W/L, and a temperature controlled

21、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, stainless steel device capable of supporting theparts pans in the ultrasonic bath.NOTE 1The bracket should be designed to hang

22、 in the ultrasonic bathwithout contact with the bottom.7. Reagents7.1 Solvents such as the following may be used: tetrachlo-roethylene (perchloroethylene), trichloroethylene, methylenechloride, and perfluorinated carbon fluids.NOTE 2Warning: Solvents such as tetrachloroethylene(perchloroethylene), t

23、richloroethylene, and methylene chloride have rela-tive low threshold limit values and the user should refer to appropriate safehandling procedures, particularly in open tanks. Many solvents are notconsidered to be compatible with oxygen and must be completelyremoved from cleaned components prior to

24、 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. Unless otherwise indicated, it is intended thatall reagents conform to the specifications of the Committee onAnalytic

25、al Reagents of the American Chemical Society wheresuch specifications are available.4Other grades may be used,provided it is first ascertained that the reagent is of sufficientlyhigh purity to permit its use without lessening the accuracy ofthe determination. Detergents used shall be identified byma

26、nufacturer and name (registered trademark, if any).7.3 Purity of WaterThe water used shall meet the require-ments of Specification D1193, Type II.8. Procedure8.1 Sample Preparation:8.1.1 If cleanliness verification is to be performed on controlor test coupons, prepare the coupons in accordance withP

27、ractice G121.8.1.2 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 applicable, to the nearest tenthof a milligram (M1). Record the surface area (S) and mass(M1).8.2 Preliminary Procedure:8.2.1 If

28、a cleaning agent is being used that requires dilutionor special preparation, carefully follow the manufacturersinstructions. Use Type II water to prepare the aqueous cleaningagent solutions or as the actual cleaning agent.NOTE 3It has been found that many common hydrocarbon basedlubricants are effec

29、tively removed to acceptable levels using Type II waterat 50 to 55 C. More difficult to remove contaminants, such as fluorinatedor silicone based lubricants, have typically been found to require the useof surface active agents. Use Test Method G122 to evaluate the cleaningeffectiveness of the propos

30、ed 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 the desiredtemperature, and degas the water for 10 min.8.2.3 Clean the stainless steel sample parts pan to be used.Condu

31、ct 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 on the actual parts. Determine the contamination level ofthe parts pan, the blank value (B), which shall be less than the

32、allowable 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 pan until thecontamination level is less than the allowable contaminationspecified for the parts.8.3 Cleaning Procedure:8.
