Tempilabels might also be used to further verify surface temperatures. 4.3.8 Initial Heat Up Period. Expose t

18、he top surface of the assembly to the classification temperature (see Table 1 Chamber Temperatures) for 2 h r 10 minutes. The ambient temperature as measured (5 r 1) cm beneath the center of the part shall be maintained at ambient temperature (see Table 1 Chamber Temperatures). 4.3.9 Observe the par

19、t during the initial heat up period. This period (ramp time) should take (30 to 60) minutes. Report any voids or other imperfections noticed. 4.3.10 Irradiation Cycle.
