25、UTION Use clean gloves or forceps when handling test specimens and clean glass or plastic ware to contain solutions. 4 Test procedure 4.1 Method A, Ionography 4.1.1. Set-up the ionograph following the manufacturers recommendations. 4.1.2 Prepare or buy the extraction solution of 75% / 25% 2% volume

26、/ volume isopropanol to DI water. Add the solution to the test chamber. 4.1.2.1 The concentration of this solution shall be maintained by checking its specific gravity using a hydrometer and making any necessary adjustment to the concentration. The specific gravity shall be 0.872 0.838. 4.1.3 Prepar

27、e or buy a 750 ppm NaCl standard to use as a calibration solution. 4.1.3.1 Follow the following procedures to prepare the calibration solution. 4.1.3.1.1 Dry a minimum of 2 grams of NaCl at 110 C 5 C for a minimum of 2 hours. 4.1.3.1.2 Place in desiccators until cooled to room temperature. 4.1.3.1.3

28、 Weigh 0.750 0.0005 grams of the dried NaCl. 4.1.3.1.4 Add the salt to a one-liter class A volumetric flask and dilute with DI water to the line. 4.1.3.1.5 After the salt is completely dissolved pipette one milliliter (0.006 milliliters determined from class A glassware) of the solution into a secon

29、d clean one-liter class A volumetric flask and dilute with DI water to the line. 4.1.4 Conduct a single point verification using the calibration solution (at 20 C to 30 C) prior to running test specimens and record the expected and measured values in /ml. Verifications shall be performed daily. If t

30、he result deviates more than 5% from the expected value, an instrument calibration shall be performed following the steps above. EIA-364-111A Page 5 4.1.5 Test specimen preparation and testing NOTE Maintain the extraction solution during analysis and calibration at a temperature between 20 C and 30

31、C. 4.1.5.1 Use clean gloves or forceps when handling test specimens. Handling the specimens with bare hands can contaminate the specimens and influence the results. 4.1.5.2 To determine the total specimen surface area, multiply the area of one test specimen in square centimeters by the number of spe

32、cimens tested in the analysis. As it may be difficult to determine the true surface area of intricate connectors or sockets, this information may be best derived from a computer model of the specimen. 4.1.5.3 Enter the total specimen surface area into the ionograph. 4.1.5.4 Determine the baseline re

33、sistivity of the extraction solution in the ionograph 4.1.5.5 Measure and record the extraction solution temperature 4.1.5.6 Immerse the test specimen(s) in the extraction solution and initiate the analysis. 4.1.5.7 The ionograph will measure the resistivity of the solution during the analysis. The

34、analysis shall be terminated when the resistivity drops below 25% of the baseline and any of the following test termination options are met: 4.1.5.8 The resistivity of the solution has returned to the baseline. 4.1.5.9 The resistivity of the solution has returned to within 75% of the baseline and th

35、e absolute value of the resistivity rate of change is 3% / minute 4.1.5.10 The time of the analysis reaches a minimum of 6 minutes 4.1.5.11 If the resistivity of the solution does not drop below 25% of the baseline during the test, then there is insufficient contamination on the specimens to obtain

36、a valid reading. Repeat the test with new specimens and a larger sample size. If repeating the test using a larger sample size does not rectify the problem, it may not be possible to assess the ionic contamination of the specimen using this technique. 4.1.6 Calculation 4.1.6.1 The ionograph will cal

37、culate the results in total micrograms of NaCl equivalent per square centimeter using the resistivity of the solution integrated over the analysis period and normalized using the surface area entered into the instrument at the start of the test. 4.1.6.2 Record results. EIA-364-111A Page 6 4.2 Method

38、 B, Ion chromatography A person with experience in ion chromatography should perform this procedure. 4.2.1 Test specimen preparation and testing NOTE All container and specimen handling equipment shall be cleaned in a manner consistent with good laboratory practices. 4.2.1.1 Measure the surface area

39、 of a test specimen in square centimeters and multiply it by the number of specimens to be tested. 4.2.1.2 Record the total surface area 4.2.1.3 Heat the temperature of the water bath to 80 C 0.5 C and equilibrate for at least 1 hour. 4.2.1.4 Prepare an extraction solution of 75% / 25% 2% volume / v

40、olume isopropanol to DI water. 4.2.1.5 Place the test specimen(s) into a bag. 4.2.1.6 Using a pipette, put enough extraction solution into the bag to just cover the test specimen(s) 4.2.1.7 Record the volume of extraction solution. 4.2.1.8 Remove most of the air and seal the bag. 4.2.1 9 Put the sam

41、e volume of extraction solution into a bag with no test specimen(s). 4.2.1.10 Remove most of the air and seal the bag. 4.2.1.11 Place the bags into the water bath and let them stand for 1 hour 5 minutes. 4.2.1.12 The seal of the bags should be above the water line to prevent accidental contamination

42、 of the extraction solution. 4.2.1.13 Remove the bags from the water bath and let them cool to room temperature. 4.2.1.14 Remove all of the extraction solution from the bag containing the test specimen(s) using a Pasteur pipette and transfer it to a 100 milliliter volumetric flask. Repeat for the ex

43、traction solution from the bag with no test specimens and transfer it to a different 100 milliliter volumetric flask. EIA-364-111A Page 7 4.2.1.15 Rinse each bag with DI water and add each rinse solution to the appropriate volumetric flask. 4.2.1.16 Bring the volume of each flask to 100 milliliters

44、0.08 milliliters by adding DI water. 4.2.2 IC analysis 4.2.2.1 Calibrate the instrument per the manufacturers recommendations, using the ionic standards to be eluted by the selected column. 4.2.2.2 The cations, anions, and weak organic ions are separated using different analytical columns. The instr

45、ument manufacturers recommendations should be followed for which analytical column is appropriate for each separation. 4.2.2.3 Dilute, if necessary, each extraction solution with the aqueous buffer solution that will be used in the separation of the ionic species. Dilution will depend on the cleanli

46、ness of the specimen(s) being tested. 4.2.2.4 Record the total dilution volume 4.2.2.5 Inject each extraction solution onto the appropriate IC analytical column(s). 4.2.2.6 The instrument will report each ion detected and its concentration in ppm, see Table 1 for common ions of interest. 4.2.3 Calcu
