Description
The Surface Resistance Test Kit is a portable, accurate,
and versatile instrument designed to measure resistance
point-to-point (Rtt), surface to ground (Rtg), and surface
resistivity in accordance with ESD Association Standard
ANSI/ESD S4.1 including:
• Resistance measuring accuracy ± 10%
(E11 & greater ±20%)
• Resistance range <1.0 x 10E3 ohms to >10E12 ohms
• Under load voltages of 10 and 100 volts ± 5%
• Electrification period of 15 seconds
• Electrodes (two) 5 pounds ± 2 oz with 50-70 durometer
conductive pads
In addition, the Meter measures ambient temperature and
relative humidity.
The Surface Resistance Test Kit (or its Meter) is referenced
and designed to be used to make measurements in
accordance with the test methods in:
• Worksurfaces - ANSI/ESD S4.1 Worksurfaces
Compliance Verification - ESD TR53 - Resistance

Versatility:
Measures Rtt, Rtg or Resistivity (requires optional
Resistivity Attachment, EMIT item 50560)
• Quick Checks - Surface resistance exponent number
illuminates immediately i.e. 8 = 10E8 ohms or
100,000,000 ohms
• Compliance Verification - Surface resistance
exponent number illuminates immediately and displays
Temperature and Relative Humidity during 15 second
electrification period making numerous measure ments
and calculations to then display mantissa i.e. if LED
displays 8 and LCD displaying 7.14 as mantissa = 7.14 x
10E8 ohms or 714,000,000 ohms
• Test Lab Evaluation of Product - Display same as
Compliance Verification above
The Surface Resistance Test Kit is NIST calibrated and
items available are:
