Hi Brian,

This assumes that the type of contamination, and thus the speed of dissolving, is always the same. From experience I know that the speed at which the asymptote is approached varies a lot from product to product, depending on design, bare board materials, components.
But maybe that's one of the reasons why you already called it a very rough guideline.
For practical reasons we've set the standard measuring time for our Alpha Ionograph to 15 minutes. 

Kind regards,

How long is a piece of string? It depends on how quickly the
contaminants dissolve. I suggest you do two or three tests for an hour.
You will observe that the resistivity drops fairly rapidly and then very
slowly. Draw a straight line approximating the last 15 minutes backwards
to zero time. Draw another straight line approximating, say, the first
five minutes. Note the value and the time where the two lines intersect.
If the value is > 3/4 of the final value, then double the time to
intersection. If >1/2, then quadruple the time. If >1/4 then octuple the
time, if <1/4 then 16 times the time. This is only a **very** rough
guideline until you acquire sufficient experience to judge when you
approach asymptote.
