Volume resistivity

This method is used to determine the volume resistivity of an insulatingmaterial.

The surface flows of the test specimen are eliminated using an electrode.

 

Volume resistivity 

Test specimen Ø 80 mm, 2 mm thick
Test voltage Between 1 V and 1,000 V
Current measurement 10-1 A to 10-14 A

 

Results of the test method:Volume resistivity ρ (rho). This is the volume resistivity of an insulating material in the form of a cube whose edges measure 1 cm.
