The Difference between Constant Voltage (Under Load) and Open Circuit Resistance Meters
November 23rd, 2016
No comments
During a witness audit last week, a customer asked what the difference was between a resistance instrument Under Load and Open Circuit. The quickest answer to the question is that Constant Voltage (Under Load) instruments would be a Laboratory type instrument, while the Open Circuit is a general indicating instrument.

Not all 5lbs Conductive Rubber Electrode are created equal!

The Prostat PRV-813 Rubber Electrode Verifier has been designed because people in our industry keep asking, “Why do we get different resistance measurements with different electrodes?” After years of measurements, sometimes many thousands of measurements, electrodes are different from “new” and there is no realistic means to assess the current condition of used electrodes. We found that the PRV-813 is a positive step toward answering this important question.
Can you measure cloth samples using a concentric ring with an electrode in surface resistance mode?

The challenge of measuring fabrics is that it is not a solid and smooth surface, like sheet metal or plastic films, but rather a surface with lots of texture, meaning less surface area and dispersed discrete contact points. The cloth materials can range from a textured continuous surface to mesh-like with lots of repeated holes, mostly air.
How to measure resistivity in ohms/square with a resistance instrument?

Although the PRF-912B Miniature Concentric Ring was designed to work with Prostat resistance meters, it is compatible to work with other meghometers as long as they are able to work BNC adaptor and cable as long as you have a resistance instrument that supplies a constant defined voltage of <10, 10 and 100V (depending on resistance being measured). If this is the case then you could use the PRF-912B with a third party megger.
Should you multiply decay measurements made with a Charge Plate Monitor by 2 to meet the requirements of ANSI EOS/ESD S3.1?

Recently, a customer using a Charge Plate Monitor asked an interesting question regarding the Prostat CPM-720A Charge Plate Monitor. Since it is stated that the CPM720A capacitance is approximately 10pF, does any direct decay measurement made with the CPM-720A should be multiplied by a factor of two (2) in order to match the requirements of ANSI EOS/ESD S3.1?
Can one (1) order of magnitude be added on the resistance readin when using the PRS-922B Two-Point Probe?

Is it possible to add one (1) order of magnitude on the resistance reading if I want to get an estimate of ASTM D-257 Surface Resistivity in ohms/square? If not, how can you get the surface resistivity when using the Prostat PRF-922B Two-Point Probe?
In fact, surface resistivity is a calculation, and the probe used for the PRF-922B is specifically measuring point to point resistance. Read more…
