5,000 Volt Static Charge Decay
Static Dissipative Surfaced Plastics vs. General Use Plastics
Electrostatic Decay Analysis
Federal Test Standard 101C, Method 4046.1, as described in EIA-541, Appendix F, “Measurement of
Electrostatic Decay Properties of Dissipative Planar Materials”
Test Method
- Each test specimen is individually force charged to 5,000 volts ungrounded.
- Simultaneously, the applied voltage is shut off, the specimen grounded and a timing device started.
- The time for the specimen voltage to decay to technical 0 (less than 50 volts) is recorded.
Test Conditions
The test specimens are preconditioned for 48 hours at 23ºC± 3ºC and 12% ± 3% relative humidity.
