ASTM D 257

ASTM D 257 : Standard Test Methods for DC Resistance or Conductance of Insulating Materials These test methods cover direct-current procedures for the determination of dc insulation resistance, volume resistance, volume resistivity, surface resistance, and surface resistivity of electrical insulating materials, or the corresponding conductances and conductivities. These test methods are not suitable for use in measuring the electrical resistivity/conductivity of moderately conductive materials. Use Test Method D 4496 to evaluate such materials.<more>
