    Definition
  • This standard test method defines a test method for measuring the electrical resistance of shoes used for ESD control in the electronics environment (not to include heel straps and toe grounders).
  • This Standard Test Method defines a direct current test method for measuring electrical resistance. The Standard is designed specifically for static dissipative planar materials used in packaging of ESD sensitive devices and components.
  • This Standard Test Method provides test methods for measuring the volume resistance of static dissipative planar materials used in the packaging of ESD sensitive devices and components.
  • This Standard Test Method provides a test method to measure the resistance between two points on an items surface.
  • This Standard provides a method for testing and determining the shielding capabilities of electrostatic shielding bags.
  • This Standard provides test methods for measuring the electrical resistance of seating used to control ESD. The test methods can be used for qualification testing as well as for evaluating and monitoring seating after installation. It covers all types of seating, including chairs and stools.
  • This Standard Test Method provides electric soldering/desoldering hand tool test methods for measuring the electrical leakage and tip to ground reference point resistance and provides parameters for EOS safe soldering operation. This standard is no longer published.
  • This Standard Test Method provides for measuring the electrical resistance of floor materials, footwear and personnel together, as a system.
  • This Standard Test Method provides for measuring the electrostatic voltage on a person in combination with floor materials and footwear, as a system.
  • Establishes a procedure for testing, evaluating and classifying the ESD sensitivity of components to the defined Human Body Model (HBM).
  • A conductor by which electromagnetic waves are sent out or received, consisting commonly of a wire or set of wires often attached to metal rods.
  • A measure of how well an antenna radiates in its intended direction as compared to an isotropic radiator.
  • The ratio of the incident electromagnetic field strength to the voltage V (units: V or µV) on the line connection of an antenna.
  • The amount of power that is transmitted in the direction of peak radiation to that of an isotropic source.
  • A measure of the resistance to an electrical signal in an antenna; the ratio of voltage to current.
  • The orientation of the electric field lines in the electromagnetic field radiated or received by the antenna.
  • Diameter of the objective of a telescope or other optical instrument, usually expressed in inches, but sometimes as the angle between lines from the principal focus to opposite ends of a diameter of the objective.
  • The reduction in level of a transmitted quantity as a function of a parameter, usually distance.
