Our ASTM D2739 Testing Procedure
Specimen Preparation & Curing
Conductive adhesive is applied between two metallic plugs and cured to form a controlled-thickness sandwich specimen.
1Conditioning
Cured specimens are conditioned at standard laboratory conditions (≈23 °C, 50% RH) for a specified duration.
2Resistance Measurement
Electrical resistance between metallic adherends is measured using a Kelvin bridge or equivalent precision instrument.
3Resistivity Calculation
Volume resistivity (ρv) is calculated from measured resistance and specimen geometry.
