SONOREX FT 45 film test frame

For testing an ultrasonic cleaner, a foil test (aluminium foil test) in accordance with IEC 886 is recommended when it is put into operation for the first time and regularly (e.g. every quarter of a year) after a corresponding period of operation. The effect of ultrasonic baths is determined by the intensity and distribution of the cavitation typical of the process in the oscillating tank. The foil test is a simple procedure to demonstrate the intensity and distribution of cavitation in an ultrasonic cleaner. For this purpose, an inserted aluminum foil is perforated or destroyed to a certain degree by cavitation, depending on the length of time.
The foils can be archived in a suitable manner (scanning, photo, etc.). This makes it possible to compare the slides at any time. The perforated or perforated areas of the films should have approximately the same extent and distribution - they are never congruent. Process verification, e.g. when reprocessing medical devices, can only be achieved through regular film tests.
The selection of the film test frame depends on the size of the ultrasonic cleaner. The wire frames are designed to accommodate a wide range of tub dimensions. Aluminum household foil is also required to carry out the test; this is not included in the scope of delivery. Internal dimensions L x W x D: 550 x 585 x mm
