14、Association Standard Test Method ANSI/ESD STM4.2-2012) FOREWORD The test methods outlined in this standard were developed to further characterize the ability of ESD Control worksurfaces to dissipate static charge from conductive objects placed on them. Although the resistive properties of worksurfac
15、es give the user a “relative“ indication of their ability to dissipate charge, other factors such as contact resistance between the object and the worksurface, worksurface hardness and surface finish, and ambient relative humidity also affect their charge dissipation efficiency. This standard test m
16、ethod1provides for a worksurface test apparatus and conductive charged object configuration designed to give a better perspective as to the charge dissipation characteristics of worksurfaces based on the factors mentioned above. It is intended for qualification purposes only and should only be used
17、in a laboratory environment. Specific environments are required for both conditioning and testing of samples.

27、d for the Protection of Electrostatic Discharge Susceptible Items - ESD Protective Worksurfaces - Charge Dissipation Characteristics 1.0 PURPOSE AND SCOPE 1.1 Purpose The purpose of this standard test method is to aid in determining the ability of ESD protective worksurfaces to dissipate charge from
28、 a conductive test object placed on them. This ability may not be revealed through standard resistance measurements as outlined in ANSI/ESD S4.1. 1.2 Scope This document provides a test method that measures the charge dissipation characteristics of worksurfaces. To accomplish this, a conductive test
29、 object is charged, placed on the worksurface under test, and then removed. The resultant charge on the test object is an indicator of the ability of the tested worksurface to dissipate charge from the test object placed on it. This is only applicable however for the test object specified within thi
30、s document. This standard test method is designed for use in a laboratory environment for qualification, evaluation or acceptance of worksurfaces and not for periodic testing. 2.0 REFERENCED PUBLICATIONS ESD ADV1.0, ESD Associations Glossary of Terms2 ANSI/ESD STM3.1, Ionization2ANSI/ESD S4.1, Works

35、ve., Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094, 215-697-5164 ANSI/ESD STM4.2-2012 2 5.0 REQUIRED EQUIPMENT 5.1 Test Apparatus The test apparatus and configuration used in this standard test method is shown in Figure 1. It includes a disk assembly, test sample support table, disk raising/lowering mechanism (RLM),
36、control panel and contact timer, test cabling, disk suspension cord and apparatus housing. 5.1.1 Disk Assembly The disk assembly used in this standard is shown in Figure 2. It consists of a 15.24 .254 cm (6 inches 1/10 inch) circular, conductive disk (i.e. non-anodized aluminum) and a support struct
37、ure used to suspend it from the disk RLM. The disk assembly shall have a maximum capacitance of 15 pF as measured in accordance with Annex B of ANSI/ESD STM3.1. It shall have a weight of 227 grams ( 5 grams). Dimensional tolerances of the disk assembly and its components are shown in Figure 2. 5.1.2
38、 Test Sample Support Table The support table is used to support the tested worksurface material and provide parallelism between the tested worksurface material and the lowered/raised disk assembly. The support table should be capable of adjusting test sample height such that a common distance is mai
39、ntained between the disk assembly and the worksurface prior to charge dissipation and triboelectrification testing. It must be made of an electrically insulative material ( 1.0 x 1012ohms, in accordance with ANSI/ESD STM11.11) and have sufficient thickness to rigidly support the test sample. It shal
40、l be 60.96 1.27 cm (24 0.5 inches) square. 5.1.3 Disk Raising/Lowering Mechanism (RLM) The test apparatus shall contain a mechanism used to lower and raise the disk assembly to and from the tested worksurface. Any process may be used to accomplish this task (i.e. hydraulic, pneumatic, etc.) as long
41、as the raising/lowering speed is controllable and provides uniform stroke movement and stability to the suspended disk assembly. The RLM must also be capable of suspending the disk assembly above the tested work surface while being electrically isolated from it. The RLM must be controlled such that
42、a specified contact time between the disk assembly and the tested worksurface is maintained. 5.1.4 Control Panel and Contact Timer A control panel and contact timer shall be used to activate the RLM and control the time in which the disk assembly is in contact with the test sample. Contact time shal
43、l be specified in the test procedure. 5.1.5 Test Cabling The specified test voltage is applied to the disk assembly from a charge plate monitor through test cabling. The test cabling also provides the electrical connection between the disk assembly and the charge plate monitor when monitoring the re
44、sultant disk assembly voltage after it is raised from the sample. The entire cable length shall be no greater than 121.92 cm (4 feet) in length and consist of two bonded portions. The first portion shall consist of 1 meter of insulated high voltage wire (40KV minimum). It shall be electrically bonde
45、d to a smaller 30 cm (11.7 inches) section of insulated (28 gauge or greater) wire. The high voltage wire end of the cable is connected to the isolated plate of the charge plate monitor and the smaller wire end is connected to the disk assembly. The cable shall not contact any portion of the test ap
46、paratus between the disk assembly and the charge plate monitor. This can be accomplished through an electrically insulative standoff material clamped to the test apparatus housing. The use of this isolation technique as well as the specified wire types ensures electrical isolation of the disk assemb
47、ly. Test cable acceptability is verified through the Disk Isolation/System Verification Test outlined herein. ANSI/ESD STM4.2-2012 3 5.1.6 Disk Suspension Cord The disk assembly shall be suspended and electrically isolated from the RLM. Braided nylon lacing tape / cord in accordance with MIL-T-43435
48、, Type I, Size 5, Finish B or equivalent is recommended. 5.1.7 Apparatus Housing It is recommended that the suspended disk assembly, test sample support table and test sample be contained within a grounded conductive housing. The housing provides some limited shielding from external noise or EMI sou
49、rces and a ground point for the worksurface test samples. Its size is dependent on overall system design but must accommodate all test apparatus components, as a minimum, the disk assembly, test sample support table, and test sample. 5.2 Charge Plate Monitor A) The conductive plate shall be 15.24 x 15.24 cm (6 x 6 inches) with a minimum capacitance of 15 pF when mounted in the test fixture without electrical hookups. The total capacitance of the test circuit, with plate, shall be 20 2 pF. B) There shall be no objects, grounded or otherwise, closer than dimension “A“ of
