Check that floors, garments, and other work surfaces won’t discharge static electricity. These laboratory-grade meters are made in the U.S. and certified to NIST standards for accuracy and reliability. They’re essential in server rooms, clean rooms, and other environments where static could harm sensitive electronics. Also known as surface resistance meters, they’re fully compliant with ANSI for testing and validating workplace static control systems.

To prevent static discharge, surface resistance needs to be less than 1×10⁹ ohms. Our meters measure resistance as high as 1×10¹² ohms, with the results clearly displayed on a crisp OLED screen. Readings are exact to two places, with no rounding to the nearest exponent like with less sophisticated meters.

Each meter comes with leads and two 5 lb. probes. Place one probe on a surface to measure the resistance to the ground (Rtg), or place both on a surface to measure the point-to-point resistance between them (Rtt).

Small Parts Probe—Use the small parts probe (sold separately) to measure resistance on small items or in hard-to-access areas, such as server racks or semiconductor assembly lines.

Packaging Probe—Use the packaging probe (sold separately) to measure the resistance of thin packaging and films.
