Hi Tech Netters, I want to evaluate solder iron tips used for handsoldering and rework. Basically I want to measure the recovery time of the iron tips when performing a soldering process. Does anyone know how I can do that? Are there any common or known methods of doing this? Thanks. *I would recommend talking to Dave Robertson at Hexacon Electric. There is nothing about soldering irons that he does not know. I believe he led some evaluations of recovery time for IPC committees.
