EN 16812:2016 (E) DIN EN 16812:2016-114 1 Scope This European Standard
20、 describes a test method for the determination of the linear electric resistance of conductive tracks for textile structures or intended for application in/ to textiles, e.g. yarns, printed or coated tracks, ropes, ribbons and webbing. This European Standard is designed for materials showing ohmic b
21、ehaviour. This European Standard is designed for conductive tracks where electrical contact between the measurement electrodes and the conductive track is possible. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable

24、ntry: Examples for textile based electrically conductive tracks and how to determine their length (L) and width (w) are given in Figure 1 3.2 Ohmic behaviour conductors behaviour following Ohms law Note 1 to entry: Ohms law is a fundamental law of electricity, stating that the voltage at the termina

Note 2 to entry: In this standard U is used for the measured voltage, according to the IEC electropedia (www.electropedia.

Images adapted from EN ISO 8388 4 Principle of test This test describes a procedure to measure the linear electrical resistance of textile based elec
28、trically conductive tracks using the measurement principle of the four wire (four point) Kelvin method and a DC current source. This test method can be performed as “four electrode - four wire method” or “two electrode - four wire method”. By using four electrodes the contact resistances between the
29、 electrodes and the sample are compensated. As a result this method requires less measurements and calculations as compared to the “two electrode four wire method”. This is why the “four electrode - four wire method” is preferred. In cases where it is not feasible to prepare the necessary four conta
30、cts for the electrodes, “the two electrode four wire method” can be used. 5 Test equipment The test equipment shall consist of: an electrical current source able to deliver a stable DC current in the range necessary for the measurement; a volt-meter capable of measuring voltages in the range necessa
31、ry for the measurement. NOTE An Ohm meter in accordance with EN 600516, suitable for four wire measurements, can also be used. Contacting electrodes, which shall be clean, oxide free and undamaged, and suitable for low-resistance measurements e.g. made of chrome or gold finished copper. The electrod
32、es shall be suitable for soft materials e.g. have a flat contact surface. A calibrated ruler to measure the distance between the voltage electrodes (edge to edge), with the resolution of at least 3 significant digits in relation to the sample length. The ruler should preferably be integrated in the
33、clamping device. EN 16812:2016 (E) DIN EN 16812:2016-116 An insulating surface on which the specimen is placed. An insulating surface has a surface resistance of 109 reduced to a square, also commonly expressed as / or /sq. Alternatively the specimen can also be suspended in air. 6 Test specimens 6.
34、1 Number of test specimens Five representative specimens per sample shall be tested. NOTE Resistance may depend on the orientation of the sample taken out of the textile structure. Additional specimens may be required as discussed in 8.5. 6.2 Dimensions of specimens The specimen length shall be chos
35、en such that: the distance d between the voltage electrodes is at least 10 times the width w of the conductive track; a recommended distance d is 50 cm, taking into account the requirements mentioned below. the part between the voltage electrodes represents the full structure of the conductive track
36、 the specimen fits into the measurement set-up, including clamping device and current electrodes. 6.3 Conditioning Test specimens shall be stored for at least 24 h in standard atmosphere conditions (20 C and 65 % RH in accordance with EN ISO 139). 6.4 Relaxation Relaxation of the fabrics shall be pe
37、rformed according to EN 12127. It is important to ensure that the fabrics are in the relaxed state prior to testing. The fabrics shall be kept in a flat tension free state for at least 24h, during conditioning. Knitted fabrics may require a longer relaxation treatment, as agreed upon between the int
38、erested parties. 7 Test set-up 7.1 General In the following the test set-up is described with the level of detail needed for implementing this standard. A more detailed description of the test set-up can be found in Annex A. 7.2 Test set-up for a “four electrode four wire method” This set-up is the
39、preferred set-up, as discussed in Clause 4. The electrodes shall be arranged as shown in Figure 2 and shall cover the whole width of the conductive track.

It is advised to verify the test set-up and measurement principle by using a well characterized sample. 8.2 Preparation of conductive track
44、contact points Any insulating cover or coating shall be removed from the conductive track points that will be contacted by the electrodes. The conductive track contact points shall be cleaned to remove materials (e.g. oils, varnish) that can disturb the electrical contact between the electrodes and
45、track contact points. If mechanical clamping does not yield the necessary measurement stability (as described in 8.5), the contacting needs to be improved. For a yarn this may be done by: using a crimp connector (commercially available crimp connectors for electronic components are usually suitable)
46、. For a track in or on a textile substrate this may be done by: gluing a metal plate/foil to the track using a conductive glue (using as little glue as necessary); or EN 16812:2016 (E) DIN EN 16812:2016-119 applying an electrode (in paste form) using a mask with well-defined dimensions (including th
47、ickness); or soldering a contact to the track. Important for gluing and soldering is that the method used is compatible with the materials in the substrate and in the conductive track. The properties of the conductive track shall not be affected. NOTE Silver and gold are suitable materials for this
48、purpose, with gold being preferred as it does not corrode. Copper can also be used, but it should be cleaned before the measurement, e.g. by ultrasonic pre-treatment or mechanical abrasion. The supplier of the conductive track/ yarn could also be able to provide the necessary information concerning
49、temperature resistance and suitable material for soldering. 8.3 Tensioning 8.3.1 General Tensioning of the specimen, in order to flatten and straighten it, is necessary for determining accurately the distance. 8.3.2 Yarns Yarns may be straightened by applying a weight to one extremity of the yarn. A pre-tensioning of 0,5 cN/tex is recommended, but other values can be agreed upon by the interested parties or in function of the tensile properties of the yarn. This can be important for yarns co
