Lab Testing – Chemical Life

A previous blog discussed the ramifications of contaminant loading on cleaning.  This time let’s look at the long term effects on cleaning chemistry.  In lab testing, the ability of chemistry to withstand extended use is often not challenged.  Chemistry is prepared and used for short term cleaning trials to verify the cleaning process.  In long …

Lab Testing – Contaminant Loading

The risk of laboratory testing was discussed in the blog Beyond the Cleaning Lab Test Results.  This blog along with others that follow will explore these implications in more detail. In developing a cleaning process in the test lab, a technician usually starts out by cleaning a small number of parts using freshly prepared and uncontaminated …
