DESCO NEW Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit

The Desco Digital Surface Resistance Meter Kit is an instrument designed to measure resistance point-to-point (Rtt) and resistance-to-ground (Rtg) of worksurfaces, flooring systems, garments, packaging, and other materials in accordance with ESD Association documents: ESD TR53, ANSI/ESD S4.1, ANSI/ESD S7.1, ANSI/ESD STM97.1 and others.

Its test functions include: • Resistance measurement accuracy of ±10% (±20% accuracy for 1 x 10^12 ohms and greater) • Resistance range of less than 1 x 10^3 ohms to greater than 1 x 10^12 ohms • Under load voltages of 10 and 100 volts ±5% • Electrification period of approximately 15 seconds

The Digital Surface Resistance Meter also measures ambient temperature and relative humidity. Up to 100 measurements may be stored and recalled from the meter's internal memory. This includes the resistance value, temperature, relative humidity and test voltage at the time of the measurement.

The Surface Resistance Meter is referenced and designed to be used to make measurements in accordance with the test procedures in: • Compliance Verification - ESD TR53 - Resistance Measurements • Worksurfaces - ANSI/ESD S4.1 Worksurfaces • Floors - ANSI/ESD S7.1- Resistive Characterization of Materials Floor Materials • Foot Grounders - ESD SP9.2 - Foot Grounders Resistive Characterization • Garments - ANSI/ESD STM2.1 Garments Seating - ANSI/ESD STM12.1- Seating - Resistive Measurement • Floor/Footwear - ANSI/ESD STM97.1 - Floor Materials and Footwear- Resistance Measurement in Combination with a Person
