Hi Amol! Yes, the more appropriate term is "steam conditioning". Look in
he JSTD-002 appendices, there is a listing of the equipment producers
Appendix E I think).

hanks Denny. Specifically, I was looking for the names of equipment
anufacturers in the US who manufacture Steam Ageing chambers and the
olderability testing equipment (dip and look)

Amol,
You are going to get it from Dave Hillman, chairman of IPC 002!!!  He
ikes to refer to it as "steam conditioning" or  "steam stressing". People
ry to equate performanc in steam stressing to the aging of the component
n storage.  Storage in Singapore is far different from storage in
innepeg.
Is there some part of this paragraph on equipment that is a problem?
.3.1 Steam Conditioning Apparatus The steam conditioning chamber shall be
onstructed of non-corrodible materials such as
orosilicate glass, quartz glass, stainless steel or PTFE. The specimen
older shall be non-reactive to prevent galvanic corrosion. The
ontainer should be insulated. The steam temperature at the conditioning
evel shall be maintained per the requirements of Table 3-2.
able 3-2 Steam Temperature Requirements
ltitude Average Local
oiling Point °C
team Temperature
imits °C
-305 m 100 93 ± 3
05-610 m 99 92 ± 3
10-914 m 98 91 ± 3
14-1219 m 97 90 ± 3
219-1524 m 96 89 ± 3
524-1829 m 95 88 ± 3
 safe means to prevent excessive pressure and a means of maintaining
dequate water level shall be provided. Neither shall cause
he vapor to cool below the specified temperature. Condensate shall drip
reely back to the water. Care should be taken to minimize
ontact between the condensate and the specimens.
Fin ally, do you have comment on either dip-and-look or w
etting balance to
easure solderability?

Dear Technetters,
How are people in the industry complying with the category 3, test method
, B
or C of this requirement for high reliability applications? the 002
tandard
calls out for steam ageing and then solderability testing for components.
hat
equipment is being used for steam ageing and solderability testing? I
ould
appreciate any direction on this matter (on the forum or offline if
omebody so
desires)

Thanks,
Amol
