I sure would = appreciate the CLARIFICATION. =20 Given the following physical dimensions of a raw card I proceeded to = apply the IPC-TM-650 Bow and Twist Method 2.4.22 step 5.2.2 for maximum = allowable twist percentage for an SMT, ,75%, technology card. Then = confirmed that calculated thickness by applying 5.2.7 formula to confirm = the SMT tolerance, .75%, guideline. I also conducted the 5.3 Referee = method (Twist) for a second correlation. The 2 methods do not yield = similar data. Can you please help to explain where I went wrong. =20 Sample #1. Length: 1.5 inches, Width: 10.4 inches, Diagonal: 14.75 inches, Thickness: 0.062 thousands. Technology: SMT Target: 0.75% =20 5.2.2 Maximum Allowable Twist R =3D 2(D)(T)/100 =3D = 2(14.74)(.75)/100 =3D 0.22125 5.2.7 Percentage Twist R =3D R/2(D)x100 =3D = .22125/29.5x100 =3D .75 Therefore, the max allowable twist Go/No-GO thickness = is 0.221125 I proceeded with the exercise. =20 I place the sample on a granite rock. While penning one edge of = the sample I slide a Go/No-Go thickness gage on the corner onsite the = pin edge which measured .042 thousands. Now applying the formula for = actual percentage twist. R =3D R/2(D)x100 =3D .042/29.5x100 =3D 0.14237 The value of .14% is well below the maximum allowable = .75% percent twist, acceptable product. =20 I proceeded with the exercise: =20 5.3 Referee Method. Actual: R1 =3D 0.0955 R2 =3D 0.0590 5.3.6 Percentage Twist =3D R1-R2/Lx100 =3D 0.0955 - = 0.0590/10.5 =3D 0.0034761 =3D .34% =20 The results of 5.2.7 actual does not correlate to the results of = 5.3.6. What's missing. =20 In advance I thank you for your timely response in this matter. =20 Victor, =20 -----Original Message----- From: Guy Ramsey [mailto:[log in to unmask]]=20 Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 4:16 PM To: 'TechNet E-Mail Forum.'; Hernandez, Victor G Subject: RE: [TN] PCB Raw card Bow & Twist Tolerance =20 =20 For bow it is the length of the board.
