Hi Inge- I'm confused! Is it possible you messed up 1&2? Testing wettability on components makes sense to me. I thought float was for seeing how robust the circuit board construction is, although the "popcorn" test was done on components years ago before people knew how dry components needed to be kept.

Solder dip test tells about the WETTABILITY. 2. Floating test tells about the ALIGNMENT Typically 1. is performed on just a few coupons and NO components, while 2. is done with many coupons (or PCBs) and WITH components. For getting good statistics it's not unusual with 10,000 components.
