Rubber, vulcanized or thermoplastic — Determination of volume and/or surface resistivity

This document specifies a method for the determination of the volume and the surface resistivity of vulcanized or thermoplastic rubbers. The method can be applied to materials with a resistivity from 101 Ω⋅m to 1017 Ω⋅m.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a
technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non‐governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products,
Subcommittee SC 2, Testing and analysis.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 14309:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— A detailed explanation on the requirement for the electrode gap for volume resistivity has been
added in 5.4.2.
— The typical dimension for D2 has been changed to (60 ± 0,5) mm in 5.4.2.
— To calculate the volume resistivity, the effective area of the main electrode is now derived from
D + B in 11.1, and the information on B has been newly included as Annex D.

Introduction
Rubber materials are widely used in many industries, either as the major material or forming a part of
the product, because of their unique physical properties which can be tailored by compounding to
match the particular requirements of the product specification. Although rubbers are generally
regarded as insulating materials, they can be made electrically conductive or dissipative by
compounding with a certain amount of carbon black or ionizable ingredients. Hence, the range of
electrical resistance to be measured is very wide. It is difficult, however, to obtain high accuracy for
measurements in the high‐resistance range due to a number of factors.
In this document, the guarded‐electrode system is used to determine the resistivity of rubber test
pieces since it is considered a good compromise between minimizing the errors by shunting away stray
currents and using more unwieldy measurement instruments (see also IEC 62631‐3‐1).
ISO 1853, on the other hand, covers rubber materials with medium to low resistance, i.e. resistivities of
8
10 Ω⋅m or below. It specifies three methods for determining volume resistivity which minimize or
eliminate contact resistance.
The methods specified in this document were originally designed for the determination of both surface
and volume resistivity of insulating rubber materials, but their use can be extended to cover the range
from high to low resistivity.
It is known that the test results are sensitive to the test conditions, such as temperature and humidity,
and to heat and strain history.
