22、ethod A Electrostatic Resistance. 4.1.1.1 Conditioning. Surface resistance is particularly sensitive to temperature changes. It is therefore necessary to measure the surface resistivity of the test specimen immediately after conditioning it under the specified conditions of (20 2) C and (50 5) % rel
23、ative humidity for a minimum of 24 h. The test can be conducted under the same conditions or immediately upon removal from those conditions. 4.1.1.2 A minimum of three (3) (120 5) mm x (120 5) mm minimum test specimens shall be cut from various areas of the test material.

25、ons or immediately upon removal from those conditions. Always handle samples with clean white gloves. 4.1.2.2 Cut ten (10) test specimens each, (80 3) mm x (50 2) mm, with the long dimension being cut in the warp or machine direction for five (5) of the specimens, and in the fill or across-machine d

33、t specimen in place by securing the upper part of the test specimen holder. 4.3.2.9 Bring the test specimen directly above the standard fabric. While keeping the standard fabric horizontal, adjust the standard fabric holders equally until there is a gap of (0 0.5) mm between the test specimen and st
34、andard fabric. 4.3.2.10 Adjust the height of the left guide 1 mm higher and the right guide 3 mm higher.
