The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 14952-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 20, Aircraft and space vehicles, Subcommittee SC 14, Space systems and operations. ISO 14952 consists of the following parts, under the general title Space systems Surface cleanliness of fluid systems: Part 1: Vocabulary Part 2: Cleanliness levels Part 3: Analytical procedures for the determination of nonvolatile residues and particulate contamination Part 4: Rough-cleaning processes Part 5: Drying processes Part 6: Precision-cleaning processes BS ISO 149523:2003 Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Sun Nov 26 14:41:25 GMT+00:00 2006, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI IS-25941 O3:(3002E) I ©SO 3002 All irhgts seredevr v Introduction This part of ISO 14952 defines sampling and analytical methods to verify cleanliness levels for parts and components used in space fluid systems. It can be used to determine the cleanliness level of precision- cleaned parts and components used in ground support equipment, launch vehicles and spacecraft.

An external light source or borescope may be required to examine internal surfaces. 4.2.2 Items having limited accessibility for visual inspection shall be accepted or rejected on the basis of the quality assurance inspections of 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5. The presence of visible contamination that discloses a particle population greater than the level specified shall be cause for rejection. Discoloration of a surface due to welding and passivation shall be permitted provided no weld scale or other contaminants remain. 4.3 Acidity and alkalinity test All surfaces that have been cleaned shall be tested for acidity and alkalinity with pH paper while the surfaces are wet from the final water rinse. Dry surfaces of completed items shall be wetted with a few drops of high purity water, with a pH range of 5,0 to 8,0, meeting the requirements of ISO 14951-10, to permit testing as required. When tested, the pH shall range from 5,0 to 8,0. 4.4 Acceptance inspection of items cleaned in a controlled environment 4.4.1 General Items cleaned in a controlled environment, except those processed to level visually clean (VC) and/or level visually clean and inspected with the aid of an ultraviolet (UV) light, shall be tested for conformance to the applicable cleanliness level by the test fluid-flush procedure given in 4.4.2 to 4.5.4. 4.4.2 Test fluids The test fluids shall not react with, combine with, etch, or otherwise cause immediate or latent degradation of the item being tested, and shall be selected from those specified in Table 1, unless otherwise approved by the customer. The test fluid shall meet the following requirements. a) The test fluid shall be filtered to remove particulates greater than 1 µm and shall not exceed 10 mg/l of nonvolatile residue (NVR) (see ISO 5789). For particle analysis where NVR analysis is not required, the maximum allowable NVR level of the test solvent shall not exceed 50 mg/l. b) Isopropanol and ethanol shall not be used as the test fluid for oxidizer systems and hardware unless the softgoods are removed or are applied with a suitable pretreatment process. Softgoods for oxidizer systems should be cleaned with a waterbased process and blown dry with Type A nitrogen conforming to ISO 14951-3. If the softgoods are cleaned with isoproanol or ethanol purge, the softgoods shall be purged with Type A nitrogen conforming to ISO 14951-3, until the methane hydrocarbon equivalent of the effluent gas does not exceed that of the source gas. Alternatively, the softgoods may be vacuum dried as described in ISO 14952-5:2003, 5.2. c) Subtraction of the test fluid blank particle count from the test sample particle count shall not be allowed. d) The quality of the test fluids shall be verified at least once a day prior to use. e) Some test fluids may have low threshold limit values; therefore, chemical hygiene tables should be consulted prior to use.

WARNING Halogenated solvents shall not be used on titanium alloys. 4.4.3 Test fluid volume for analysis The test fluid volume required for analysis shall be dependent upon the analytical method employed. The standard test sample shall be 500 ml of test fluid to ensure that all critical surfaces are flushed. The 500-ml sample of test fluid shall represent a minimum surface area of 0,1 m2 to a maximum of 0,5 m2. For very large items, the volume of flushing solvent should correlate to a minimum sampling area. In cases where all critical surfaces can be sampled with 100 ml of test fluid and the analytical method requires 100 ml or less of test fluid, a 100 ml sample of test fluid shall be allowed to represent 0,1 m2 of critical surface area, if approved by the customer.
