Floor Resistance Testing - AEMC 6536 User Manual

2.2.5 floor resistance testing

ANSI/ESD STM97.2-2006 is the standard test method for measuring the
electrostatic voltage on a person in combination with floor materials and footwear
as a system. ESD STM 97.2 can be used to characterize ESD protective floor
materials including floor coverings (tiles, carpets, epoxies, and laminated
structures), mats, paints/coatings, and floor finishes. Electrostatic voltage must
be less than +/-100V.
The Model 6536 can be purchased as part of a kit specifically designed for
testing floor resistance in areas where electrostatic discharge is a concern, such
as computer rooms, electronic assembly rooms, and hospitals. In addition to
the instrument, the kit includes a 25-foot (7.6m) shielded lead and two 5 pound
(2.3kg) floor weights (also called NFPA probes) for consistent and repeatable
contact with the surface under test. The floor weights are in compliance with
EOS/ESD 11.11 specifications. Each floor weight is coated with insulating paint
and rubber base.
