This practice is applicable to aerospace cleanareas where both particles and molecular films (NVR) must becontrolled.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. Thevalues stated in each system may not be exact equiv
4、alents;therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other.Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user o

33、-taining controlled areas and clean rooms as defined byISO 14644-1 and ISO 14644-2. Cleaning procedures are de-scribed, and cleaning frequency for different classes of facilityare given. Compliance with this practice will make it easier andmore likely that the required level of facility cleanliness
34、will bemaintained. A cleaner facility also will help to protect flighthardware from contamination and should reduce the frequencyfor cleaning flight hardware. This practice does not discussoperation and operational procedures for cleanrooms andcontrolled areas. Other documents such as IEST-RP-CC026a
35、nd Practice E 2352 provide recommended practices for oper-ating cleanrooms and controlled areas.5.

39、r contaminants because ofproducts that either are very sensitive to NVR or can not becleaned. Quantitative NVR measurements may be required asdefined in IEST-STD-CC1246D and IES-RP-CC016. NVRdeposition criteria are defined in Tables 2 and 3.5.2.2 Category IIStandard clean areas that do not requirequ
40、antitative measurements of NVR. All aerospace clean facili-ties, including support shops for the fabrication of componentsfor aerospace hardware, must limit the deposition of nonvola-tile residue (NVR), also known as molecular films. Thecleaning supplies recommended in this practice are selected for
41、the minimal production of NVR.5.2.2.1 Some clean areas require very low levels of NVR tobe compatible with product cleanliness requirements. Theseareas require cleaning methods that will remove NVR. Theuser will state when Category I is required and alowable levelsof NVR on surfaces, that is, NVR le
42、vel in accordance withIEST-STD-CC1246D (g/cm2or mg/0.1 m2). Category II isassumed unless Category I is expressly specified.5.2.3 NVR VerificationMeasurement of NVR in cleanfacilities may be done in accordance with Practice E 1234 andTest Method E 1235 or other methods that are compatible withthe pro
43、duct requirements and types of NVR. Typical NVRcompounds that are found in cleanrooms include hydrocar-bons, esters, and silicones.6.
