Plastics - Measurement of resistivity of conductive plastics (ISO 3915:2022)

This document specifies the requirements for the laboratory testing of the resistivity of specially
prepared specimens of plastics rendered conductive by the inclusion of conductive fillers or suitable
modification of the structure. The test is applicable to materials of resistivity less than 106 Ω⋅cm
(104 Ω⋅m).
The result is not strictly a volume resistivity, because of surface conduction, but the effects of the latter
are generally negligible.

Kunststoffe - Messung des spezifischen elektrischen Widerstands von leitfähigen Kunststoffen (ISO 3915:2022)

Dieses Dokument legt die Anforderungen an die Laboratoriumsprüfung des spezifischen Widerstands von besonders vorbereiteten Probekörpern aus Kunststoff fest, die durch den Einschluss von leitfähigen Füllstoffen oder eine geeignete Änderung des Aufbaus leitfähig gemacht wurden. Die Prüfung ist für Werkstoffe mit einem spezifischen Widerstand unter 106 Ω⋅cm (104 Ω⋅m) anwendbar.
Wegen der Oberflächenleitung ist das Ergebnis streng genommen kein spezifischer Durchgangswiderstand, jedoch sind die Auswirkungen der Oberflächenleitung im Allgemeinen vernachlässigbar.

Plastiques - Mesurage de la résistivité des plastiques conducteurs (ISO 3915:2022)

Le présent document spécifie les conditions requises pour l’essai en laboratoire de la résistivité d’éprouvettes de plastique spécialement préparées et rendues conductrices par l’addition de charges conductrices ou modification appropriée de la structure. L’essai est applicable à des matériaux ayant une résistivité inférieure à 106 Ω⋅cm (104 Ω⋅m).
Le résultat n’est pas la résistivité transversale au sens strict, à cause de la conduction de surface, mais les effets de cette dernière sont généralement négligeables.

Polimerni materiali - Merjenje upornosti prevodnih polimernih materialov (ISO 3915:2022)

Ta dokument določa zahteve za laboratorijsko preskušanje upornosti posebej pripravljenih vzorcev polimernih materialov, ki postanejo prevodni z vključitvijo prevodnih polnil ali ustrezno spremembo strukture. Preskus se uporablja za materiale z upornostjo manj kot 106 Ω cm (104 Ω m).
Zaradi površinske prevodnosti rezultat preskusa ni izključno prostorninska upornost, vendar so vplivi takšne prevodnosti
na splošno zanemarljivi.

Introduction
The method specified in this document is technically similar to that specified for rubber in ISO 1853,
Conducting and antistatic rubbers — Measurement of resistivity.
However, it differs from that method in certain details, especially those associated with the greater
stiffness of the plastic samples, and in particular in the limitation on specimen width. It takes into
account two problems encountered in the measurement of resistivity of conductive plastics, namely
the sensitivity of these materials to their temperature-history and strain-history, and the difficulty of
making adequate electrical contact with them.
The prescribed width of the specimen is mandatory for reference purposes; however, a wider strip may
be used, with correspondingly wider electrodes. There is a danger in using a wide strip, if the strip is
slightly twisted and at the same time somewhat non-uniform in its resistivity. It is then possible to
obtain erroneous results; the potential electrode nearer to the positive current electrode may even be
found to be negative with respect to the other potential electrode.
Effect of temperature changes and strain on conductive plastics
As mentioned above, the resistance of these materials is sensitive to their temperature-history
and strain-history. The relationships are complex and arise from the kinetic
