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 Regards Michael Barmuta Staff Engineer Fluke Electronics Everett Wa. 425-356-6076 >On Fri, 12 Dec 1997 12:01:46 -0800 Bev Christian wrote: > From: Bev Christian <[log in to unmask]> > Date: Fri, 12 Dec 1997 12:01:46 -0800 > Subject: [TN] BATTELLE FLOWING GAS TEST > To: [log in to unmask] > > 1) Does anyone know where I can buy a Battelle Flowing Gas Test > apparatus? > 2) Does anyone know where I can buy this service? > > Bev Christian > Nortel > 613-967-5407 > FAX 613-967-5237 > [log in to unmask] > > ############################################################## > TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c > ############################################################## > To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: > To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> > To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET > ############################################################## > Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information. > For the technical support contact Dmitriy Sklyar at [log in to unmask] or 847-509-9700 ext.311 > ############################################################## ############################################################## TechNet Mail List provided as a free service by IPC using LISTSERV 1.8c ############################################################## To subscribe/unsubscribe, send a message to [log in to unmask] with following text in the body: To subscribe: SUBSCRIBE TECHNET <your full name> To unsubscribe: SIGNOFF TECHNET ############################################################## Please visit IPC web site (http://www.ipc.org/html/forum.htm) for additional information.
