Technical Tips – Surface vs Volume Resistivity
Today we bring you a Technical Tips on how to measure resistance of materials.
There are two main methods used to calculate resistance of elastomeric materials, a pressure probe or a surface probe (in this case a CHO-PROBE). With the use of these probes different methods can be used to calculate the Volume resistivity,
