Many articles exist describing "how ultrasonic cleaning works". The goal of this article is to help develop an understanding of the various components that ensure good ultrasonic cleaning.

First, establish a cleaning need, along with a determination as to how to measure the level of cleanliness. A few examples of measuring cleanliness include various levels of particle count, microscopic inspection, and a variety of adhesion tests, including the clear tape test that has the ability to remove additional contamination. These are just a few examples of cleanliness measurement.
