Options:
16008B-001: Add 26 & 76 mm diameter electrodes
16008B-002: Add 26 mm diameter electrode
Compensation and Measurement: Using the selector switch on the
16008B, select either the volume resistivity or surface resistivity
measurement configuration. Open compensation is recommended
before measurement and when the measurement configuration is
switched. Separate the upper electrode from the main electrode by
turning the contact pressure load knob until the distance between
the upper electrode and the lower electrode is about 10 mm. Then,
close the top cover and perform open compensation. After open
compensation, the material under test (MUT) is placed on the main
electrode and the upper electrode is placed over it. Next, turn the
load knob to adjust the electrode contact pressure on the MUT.
Close the top cover and measure the MUT's surface or volume resis-
tivity.
It is vital to make measurements, which are compatible to a certified
test method (standard). It is shown below that the 16008B can make
resistivity measurements which are compatible with ASTM D257
Standard Test Methods for DC Resistance or Conductance of
Insulating Materials. In the figure and tables shown below, the size
and shape is compared for two pairs of electrodes: one that is speci-
fied in ASTM D257 and the one that is used with the 16008B
Resistivity Cell. The similarity implies that the 16008B is compatible
with ASTM D257.

Note:
The main electrodes are orderable as a part by
using following part numbers.
Replace the main electrode when the conductive elas-
tomer on the electrode comes off:
26 mm electrode: 16008-60083
50 mm electrode: 16008-60081
76 mm electrode: 16008-60085
