Dielectric Strength / Electrical Properties
Posted on 31/12/2018 Category:
The resistance of an elastomer to the conducting of an electrical current. Anti-static and conductive properties of rubbers are defined by measuring their electrical resistance. Typical measurements are obtained through the thickness of a sample by using 25mm sq. electrodes under a pressure of 45N and applying a voltage of 500V DC @ approx. 6mA. (Energy dissipated into the test piece is limited to 3W max.) The surfaces should be cleaned before measuring. Patterned surfaces should be wetted with a conductive solution or paint. See also Electrical Safety Matting.
