Interior Surface Finish Requirements:
6.3.1
The interior surface of each tube and fitting shall be electropolished to a microinch surface
roughness standard of 7 Ra microinch average (10 Ra maximum).
6.4
Gases and Deionized Water for Drying, Cleaning, Testing:
6.4.1
Argon or nitrogen used for drying and packaging shall be supplied from a liquid source and
have the following point of use quality:
Minimum purity:
99.998 percent
Moisture:
Less than 1 ppm
Oxygen:
Less than 3 ppm

Less than 1 ppm
Filtered to no more than 10 particles per scf larger than 0.02 microns at point of use.
6.4.2
Deionized water used for cleaning shall have the following minimum point of use
requirements and be verified on a monthly basis by an independent laboratory:
Resistivity: 18 megohm centimeters @ 25°C minimum
Total Organic Carbon: Less than 50 ppb
