Bev: I'm assuming you are referring to Mixed Flowing
Gas(MFG)testing.  These are accelerated corrosion stress tests to
predict field life of electronic assemblies and components in various
environments such as business office,light industrial,heavy industrial
etc. This is accomplished by introducing trace amounts(ppb range)of
corrosive gases into a chamber for a given amount of time.
They are fairly complicated test procedures to run and correlate data
to. Unless you plan on doing a lot of this type of testing I would
recommend you send it out to a service.
There are a variety of testing labs that can do this for you. We have
used IBM Endicott (607-755-0123).They have quite a bit of experience
is this type of testing and the ability to effectively correlate the
accelerated testing to real world applications.
In addition to the various Battelle tests there are a series of ASTM
ones also
available. Take a look at ASTM B827,I believe a newer ASTM standard
may be out
but I don't recall the number
