Quantitative Solderability Measurement of Electronic Components: Part 5: Wetting Balance Instrumental Parameters and Procedures

The wetting balance has been identified as a technique suitable for the establishment of a quantitative basis for the measurement of the solderability of electronic components. This paper deals with those parameters of the instrument and those procedures of the measurement that fall within the choice of the operator. It is important to know the amount of attention that must be paid to each parameter to achieve the precision required.
