scope:
This standard test method defines a direct current measurement to determine the volume resistance of planar materials, without regard to the conduction mechanism. This procedure is intended for measuring the volume resistance of materials that are ≥ 1.0 x 104 ohms and < 1.0 x 1011 ohms.
NOTE: This test has been shown to have a repeatability of approximately one order of magnitude.
Purpose
This standard test method defines the test procedure, equipment, sample preparation, and conditioning needed to achieve reproducible volume resistance measurements.
