Choosing the most appropriate oxygen cleaning process is challenging. Whether it’s precision cleaning small parts or cleaning a pipeline, there are many factors to consider such as cleaning effectiveness, oxygen compatibility, material compatibility, toxicity, environmental impacts, and economics.
WHA can review existing cleaning processes via remote desktop reviews or onsite audits. Onsite services also include oxygen cleanliness verification (OCV) using qualitative inspection techniques and sampling for quantitative techniques, to help verify your cleaning process.
Relevant Standards
WHA’s cleaning process consulting is based on standards such as:
- ASTM G93
- ASTM G127
- ISO 15001
- EIGA Doc. 33
- CGA 4.1
- MIL-STD-1330E
- SAE ARP1176
WHA engineers have provided significant contributions to many of these international standards.
