Frequently Asked Questions

  • How to use surface resistivity meter?

    To use a surface resistivity meter, the testing method and accessories can vary depending on the material being tested.

    For example, to test the resistance Point-to-Point (Rtt) of a work surface:
    ①Place two 5-pound electrodes at both ends of the material to be tested, with a distance of 10 inches between them;
    ②Connect these two electrodes to the meter with test leads respectively;
    ③Push the red pushbutton to start the test.

    More testing information about the surface resisty meter, welcome to contact us.

  • What is the standard for surface resistance?

    Most common standard for surface resistance is as follows:
    1. International standard IEC 62631-3-1:2016
    2. American standard ASTM D257
    3. Chinese standard GB/T 1410

  • How does a surface resistance meter work?

    A surface resistance meter works by applying a certain voltage on the material surface and measures the current flowing through the surface, thereby calculating the surface resistance of the material.

  • Can you provide any calibration certificate?

    Yes, every ESD Defender 19290 comes with unique calibration certificate.
