3. PROCESS
3 .1 Immersion cleaning
3 .1 .1 General remarks
Tubes which cannot be racked so that they will drain, must be given
special handling treatments to remove solutions which would otherwise
be entrapped and to prevent air pockets . Flush and/or reposition
tubes as necessary to completely remove all pickling solution and
rinse water .
c) After cleaning and rinsing the parts shall be free from grease, oil,
smut and other contamination . This means the surfaces shall be
water-break free . A water-break free surface is one which, when
wetted with clean water (max . 35 ° C), either by immersion or spray
will maintain a continuous film of water, for a minimum of 30
seconds .

b) Remove the parts from the cleaning solution and rinse immediately in
cold running water for a minimum of 5 minutes without allowing the
parts to dry . Wherever possible, rinsing after cleaning in a
solution operated above 70°C should include the use of a waterfog
curtain above the alkaline tank to avoid the solution drying on the
part .
f) Allow parts to air dry, 90° C maximum, except where a wet process
follows immediately .
