ohms

For electric current flowing across a surface, the ratio of DC voltage drop per unit length to the surface current per unit width. In effect, the surface resistivity is the resistance between two opposite sides of a square and is independent of the size of the square or its dimensional units. Surface resistivity is expressed in ohms/square.

The ratio of DC voltage to the current flowing between two electrodes of specified configuration that contact the same side of a material. This measurement is expressed in ohms.

Static dissipative floors are defined by a property called electrical resistance. Electrical resistance is measured in ohms. The important parameter for describing a floor is the static control flooring resistance to ground or path to ground. In order to meet the qualification of static dissipative, a floor must have an electrical resistance to ground of ≥ 1 X 106 (one million ohms) AND < 1 X 109. Static dissipative should never be confused with the terms Conductive or Antistatic (sometimes hyphenated as anti-static).Read more

A generic term used to describe any form of flooring that is designed to reduce static electricity on people. Static control flooring is available in numerous forms including: carpeting, carpet tiles, vinyl tile, rubber tile and epoxy coatings. A more specific description should be used when specifying this type of flooring. A meaningful flooring specification should always include electrical resistance in Ohms and triboelectric performance measured in volts.

The resistance in ohms measured between a single electrode placed on a surface and a groundable point.

The resistance in ohms measured between a single electrode placed on a surface and ground.

The resistance in ohms measured between two electrodes placed on any surface.
