Abstract BS EN ISO 9455-2:1996 is a European Standard that focuses on soft soldering fluxes. Specifically, it outlines a test method for determining the non-volatile matter content in soft soldering fluxes using an ebulliometric method. Let's break down what this standard entails: Soft Soldering Fluxes: Soft soldering is a process used to join metals together by melting a low-temperature solder alloy, typically tin-lead or other similar materials. Fluxes are substances applied to the joint area before soldering to clean the surfaces, prevent oxidation, and facilitate the flow of solder. Test Methods: The standard provides a methodology for testing soft soldering fluxes to determine the content of non-volatile matter. Non-volatile matter in fluxes includes substances that do not evaporate during the soldering process and can impact the quality of the solder joint. Ebulliometric Method: The test method described in BS EN ISO 9455-2:1996 utilizes an ebulliometric technique. Ebulliometry is a method that measures the boiling point of a substance. In this case, it is used to determine the non-volatile matter content in the flux by measuring the temperature at which non-volatile components begin to evaporate. Purpose: The determination of non-volatile matter in soft soldering fluxes is important for quality control and ensuring that the fluxes meet specific standards and specifications. Fluxes with excessive non-volatile matter content may result in soldering defects, such as poor wetting, and can lead to reliability issues in electronic or other soldered assemblies.
