PERFORMANCE TEST
Please find as follows the testing process for efficiency levels in the ultrasonic cleaner
using aluminium foil.
The aluminium foil test is a testing procedure that Unisonics Australia has been using
for more than 20 years and gives you accurate comprehensive results.
Testing Procedure:
1.
Cut a section of Aluminium Foil the length and depth of the Ultrasonic Tank.
2.
Immerse section of aluminium foil into the liquid in a vertical hold.
3.
The foil must not make contact with tank bottom and be left for a duration of
30 seconds.
4.
A consistent pattern of perforation should result with hole sizes varying from
one to four mm in diameter.
5.
Foil can be purchased from any supermarket.
PLEASE
NOTE
In larger Ultrasonic Cleaners more than one section of foil may be immersed.
If the foil test is to be done at the beginning of the day the fluid should be removed
from the tank, prior to the cleaning of instruments, as the solution left is foil
contaminated.
