Test of technical cleanliness VDA 19 part 1 / ISO 16232
Standard component cleanliness analyzes regarding particles (residual soiling). Preparation of cleanliness test procedures (decay measurements, blank values, number of measurements, purging parameters, filters). Gravimetric measurements, determination of the total mass of all particles on the component (residual soiling). Light-optical analysis, counting and measurement as well as classification of the particles into metallic and non-metallic particles and fibers. Extensive analyzes, material identification of particles and analyzes by means of SEM / EDX or FT-IR.
