    Electrical Resistance Meters

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Electrical Resistance Meters.
    Check that floors, garments, and other work surfaces won’t discharge static electricity. These laboratory-grade meters are made in the U.S. and certified to NIST standards for accuracy and reliability. They’re essential in server rooms, clean rooms, and other environments where static could harm sensitive electronics. Also known as surface resistance meters, they’re fully compliant with ANSI for testing and validating workplace static control systems.
    To prevent static discharge, surface resistance needs to be less than 1×109 ohms. Our meters measure resistance as high as 1×1012 ohms, with the results clearly displayed on a crisp OLED screen. Readings are exact to two places, with no rounding to the nearest exponent like with less sophisticated meters.
    Each meter comes with leads and two 5 lb. probes. Place one probe on a surface to measure the resistance to the ground (Rtg), or place both on a surface to measure the point-to-point resistance between them (Rtt).

    Indicators with Lever-Clamp Terminals
    Image of Product. Front orientation. Data Recorders. Strain Gauges.
    Indicators record changes in force, doing the combined job of a multimeter, signal conditioner, and bridge amplifier. They’re battery-operated and portable. Using the included software, operate and configure them straight from your PC. These indicators have no internal memory, but they include an SD card to store your readings. Connect them to strain gauges using wire leads. If installing them in dirty or wet environments, just close the lid after attaching the lead wires.
