Contamination Control and Cleanrooms, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 1992
Problems, Engineering Solutions, and Applications

Contamination control standards and techniques for all phases of the production of high-technology products are spelled out in this applications-orientated guide. Practical cleaning methods for products and process fluids are accompanied by tips on selecting operations based on economy and efficiency. Explanations of contaminant measurement devices cover operation, error sources and remedial methods. Engineers will find vital data on contaminant sources, as well as coverage of operations and procedures that aggravate contaminant effects.
