Abstract
In many industries there is a strong correlation between particulate contamination and product yield or performance. For this reason particulate cleanliness tests have been performed by a wide variety of methods. The field of particulate cleanliness testing has been progressing very rapidly due to improved methodology, instrumention, and data analysis. This paper describes the selection of accurate test methods, apparatus, instrumentation, and data analysis.
