13、n cleanrooms for the purpose of docu-mentation. Specifically included are: copy paper, writ-ing paper, labels, tags, self-adhesive notes, perforated and punched forms, envelopes, bound materials, and all printed versions thereof. This RP provides appro-priate methods for assessing the cleanliness of

14、 these items insofar as their suitability for use in cleanrooms is concerned.1.2 LimitationsContamination resulting from the use of items such as pens and clipboards, as well as contamination from printers and copiers, is beyond the scope of this docu-ment except where their use in conjunction with

15、the items listed under Scope may increase the generation of particles from those items. Users are referred to Recommended Practice IEST-RP-CC015 (Cleanroom Production and Support Equipment) for that informa-tion as well as for proper procedures for handling such items and equipment.This Recommended

16、Practice does not, nor should it, categorize substrates according to their suitability for use in particular applications. Rather, it offers rational and germane tests for those characteristics of substrates and forms that are generally acknowledged to be important. The results from these tests perm

17、it quantitative assess-ment of the merits of various documentation materials according to the combination of properties important to the individual user.2 REFERENCESThe following list of publications refers to the most recent editions in print.2.1 American Society for Testing and Materials (astm)ast

25、348 USA TERMS AND DEFINITIONSgenerated particlesParticles that were not previously present on the surface of a substrate, but are generated and released in response to mechanical energy imparted to that surface.particleAn object that is solid, liquid, or both, usually between 1 nanometer and 1 milli

26、meter in size.releasable particlesParticles present on the surface of a substrate that are readily releasable therefrom by wetting it with a liq-uid, but without imparting mechanical energy to the substrate. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSEThe tests in this RP for substrates and forms used for documentation i

27、n cleanrooms can be divided into two broad categories, one having to do with structural prop-erties (and therefore related to function) and one having to do with contamination or cleanliness.It is frequently necessary for both user and vendor to refer to certain structural properties of substrates a

28、nd forms in order that they be minimally but accurately described. A complete list of all possible structural properties would be without either end or agreement. Furthermore, different tests for these properties abound, many of which address the same issue from different points of view. The Technic

29、al Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (tappI) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (astm) have compiled extensive lists of standard methods for evaluating many of the structural properties of paper and similar products. A selection of some of these tests for the more important

30、structural properties, along with a brief description of each test method, is given in section 5. These tests are included in this RP not to suggest that any or all of them must be known or specified, but rather to provide both user and supplier with a common basis for testing and discussion in the

31、event that any of these tests is specified.While the types and sources of contaminants are virtu-ally limitless, it is generally agreed that particles, matter extractable with solvents, and inorganic constituents are the most important considerations in high-technology applications. Recognizing that

32、 the number of particles that can be re-leased from a substrate is maximized when it is immersed in a liquid, a wet test for enumerating such particles Copyrighted material IEST-RP-CC020.2 InstItute of envIronmental scIences and technologyis provided in section 6. The procedure quantifies the number

33、 of particles already present on and readily releas-able from the surface of a substrate by wetting it with a liquid while avoiding the administration of mechanical energy. Although it is recognized that particles not al-ready present can be generated in response to imparting mechanical energy to a

34、substrate, no test has as yet been agreed upon for enumerating such particles.Section 7 provides tests for the quantitative analysis of extractable matter. A procedure for determining the total burden of unspecified extractable matter is given in section 7.1, while section 7.2 provides guidelines fo

35、r the quantitative analysis of specific constituents. A method for determining high-temperature ash, an excellent in-dicator of the total amount of inorganic species present, is described in 7.3. This last test is particularly useful in the selection of substrates and forms for cleanroom application

36、s, because such items frequently contain high levels of inorganic fillers which have been added to impart opacity. TESTS FOR STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES.1 Basis weight (grammage)The mass (in grams) of a conveniently sized and repre-sentative sample is divided by the area of the sample (in square meters) a

37、nd the result expressed as basis weight (g/m2). It should be specified whether the basis weight is on a dry, “as is,” or equilibrated basis. The use of units other than grams per square meter to express basis weight is strongly discouraged. See tappI Method T410.2 CaliperThe caliper of a sample is i

38、ts measured thickness (in micrometers) under a specified load. tappI Method T411 treats this subject adequately, describing the equipment required (a motor-driven dial micrometer) and the tech-nique of measurement. Tensile strength, elongation, and energy to ruptureTensile strength is a measure of t

39、he maximum force (in kilonewtons per meter) that must be applied in the plane of a flat specimen in order to cause it to rupture. tappI Method T494 provides carefully specified conditions for conducting this test. The amount of elongation (stretch) that a sample will undergo before actual rupture ta

40、kes place provides another useful piece of information, and a procedure for testing it is also covered in this TAPPI Method. Coupling tensile strength with elongation yields energy to rupture, a measure of the maximum amount of energy that can be stored by a specimen. Sophisticated equipment is requ

41、ired for the proper measurement of these three attributes. Burst strengthBurst strength is a measure of the pressure (in kilopascals) required to rupture a specimen through the application of a controlled force delivered at a controlled rate when the specimen is held tightly in a clamp. tappI Method

42、 T403 describes the test procedure and the necessary equipment. Burst strength is widely accepted as being an excellent composite measure of many aspects of strength. The test is not complicated and the equipment is inexpensive. Trapezoidal tear strengthThis useful test is a simultaneous measure of

43、both tensile and tear strengths. It is based upon astm-d39. StiffnessThe tappI Method T543, which quantifies “Gurley stiff-ness,” is an acceptable technique for the measurement of this property in paper.5.7 Coefficient of frictionA simple method for determining static friction is given in tappI Meth

44、od T503. A sled and an inclined plane are each covered with a specimen. The static coefficient of friction is obtained by determining the tangent of the angle at which the sled begins to slide on the inclined plane. astm-d1894 is a method for obtaining both static and kinetic coefficients of frictio

45、n.8 Folding endurancetappI Method T423 and tappI Method T511 describe two methods for evaluating folding endurance. Each employs a specialized piece of equipment (a Schopper tester and an mIt tester, respectively) to fold an item at a specified rate and under a certain load, until rupture takes plac

46、e.9 SmoothnesstappI Method T538 is an accepted method for deter-mining the smoothness of paper and similar products. The test employs a Sheffield smoothness tester which consists of a measuring device, a glass surface plate, and assorted gauges and flowmeters.10 Surface strengthThis very simple test

47、 seeks to determine the resistance of a surface to picking. tappI Method T459 describes the 8 Copyrighted material IEST-RP-CC020.2 InstItute of envIronmental scIences and technologyuse of a series of waxes with varying adhesive proper-ties; the waxes are applied to the items being tested to evaluate

48、 pick strength. TEST FOR RELEASABLE PARTICLESIt is important to recognize that, unlike the testing of documentation materials for other forms of contaminants, such as ions or extractable matter, no discrete or unique answer exists for the number of particles that such sub-strates can potentially con

49、tribute to an environment. To be sure, documentation materials have on their surfaces a finite number of enumerable particles. These particles constitute a class of particles called readily releasable particles; they are operationally quantified by using the procedure described in section 6.1.These substrates can also be the source of another category of particles; that is, particles that were not previously present but come into existence in response to the administration of mechanic
