Ohm- Stat RT-1000
Digital Resistivity/Resistance/Temperature/Humidity Meter
Description:
The Ohm-Stat
RT-1000 Resistance, resistivity ,temperature,
humidity Test kit is easy to operate, compact, lightweight,
portable meter designed to measure temperature, humidity and
electrical resistivity/resistance. Using both internal and external
test probes, the meter will measure resistivity, resistance to
ground, resistance between two points according to EOS/ ESD
association standards- S4.1, S6.1, S7.1, S11.11 and European
standard CECC-EN 1000/15. With the accessory probes the
meter can test the electrical circuitry of the building, ESD
chairs, and smocks. Additional probes are available to measure
heel straps, wrist straps, and small parts using miniature probes,
and a concentric ring probe.
Test Procedures
Specific industries, which
require
accurate
measurements, will dictate
the correct test procedures.
The procedure outlined in
the Product Test Bulletin is
specifically used in the
electronics industry where
the EOS/ESD and CECC
procedures predominate. It
is recommended that the
other industry procedures
may be more appropriate
for your industry. These
include UL, ASTM, ,
specifications such as MIL-
HDBK-263, EIA-1S-5-A,
ASTM D-257, and ASTM
F-150. Failure to measure
relative humidity and
temperature at the time of
testing is in non-compliance
with ANSI/ESD-S7.1.

All materials must be tested on an insulated surface to avoid
misleading measurements. This is especially true with non-
homogeneous and multiplayer materials. It is possible to actually
measure down through the dissipative surface layer and then along
the inner conductive layer and back up through the dissipative
layer. This is why it is technically not correct to include a surface
resistivity layer measurement value for two layer materials. Always
measure material thickness when measuring electrical properties
because thickness, temperature, and relative humidity can and will
affect the resistance/resistivity readings.
