Graham,
The hanging one is a piece of "rope", which, by the way is 8.4 meters long.
String is entirely different.

I would be curious as to the studies which set the 0.2 microgram / cm2
level.  Use of a more modern dart board, no doubt.

Doug

If that is the piece of string you were keeping to hang someone with, its
too short!

Irving,

Most of our customers presently employ a go/no-go at something less than
0.2microgrammes of NaCl equivalence per cm2. The old 1.5 limit may be too
high for many modern circuit designs. Remember, that old spec should be
interpreted as: It is acceptable to leave UP TO 1.5mg/cm2 on your assembly
surface, and that cant be a good thing.
