Title :
Limitations of using resistance measurements to qualify garments for use in EPA
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
The latest standards that define requirements for an effective ESD Control Program only make reference to point-to-point resistance measurements for qualifying garments that may be specified within such a program. Studies are reported that show that the surface voltage generated when rubbing fabrics does not relate to measured resistance.
