3.3 ESVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

3.3. The cleaning and cleanliness sampling of parts, assemplies, lines and fittings shall be
accomplished in a closed area under controlled environmental conditions compatible with the
requirements of the parts.
3.3.2 CLEXEjING SOLUTION: Cleaning solvents shall be controlled to a level necessary to obtain
cleanliness specified for the parts being processed.
3.4 CLEANING METHOD FOR PARTS, ASSEMBLIES, LINES AND FITTINGS: It is the prerogative of each
company to establish its own process method subject to the approval of the procuring
activity that will satisfy the cleanliness requirements of the finished part as specified.
4. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS
4. I Records of all samples and tests shall be made by the cleaning activity and be subject to
review, approval and submittal as negctiated by the procuring activity.
5. PREPARATION FOR DELIVERY: Packaging a.id handling of cleaned parts, assemblies, lines. and
fittings shall be accomplished in a manner that maintains the specified cleanliness limit.
6. KOTES
6.1 CLEAVING MEDIA: The cleanliness of cleaning solvents and drying gas may be determined as
follows:
6.1.1 CLEAVING SOLVENT: A 100 milliliter plus or minus 5 milliliter sample may be taken from
the cleaning or flushing baths and analyzed per ARP598.
6.1.2 DRYIKG GAS: A ten cubic foot sample of dry air may be passed through a membrane filter
retained in a closed (in line) aerosol filter holder. The method of counting the particles
shall conform to ARP743 and may be corrected for the blank to obtain the corrected particle
count of the drying gas.
@ 6.1.3 This standard should not be used with automatic particle counters.
6.2 DEFINITIONS
6.2.1 Part: One piece, or two or more pieces joined together, which are not normally subject to
disassembly without destruction of designed use.
Assembly: A number of parts or subassemblies or any combination thereof joined together
totperform a specific function.
