Kathy, I send samples to Kester and, from a measurement quality
perspective, I am not impressed with the tin numbers.  For all I know, that
is a hard one to measure.  For gold and copper, the other elements I look
at, the numbers look better.  For the moment, I don't want to quantify my
preceding statements.   Are these methods better for some elements than
others?  I'm curious.

Subject:        [TN] Solder Pot Analysis

What is the most reliable method of solder pot analysis?  I know the
Keister uses the spark analysis and Alpha uses a wet chemistry method (I
think).  What are the differences and which is more reliable?

TIA

Kathy
