14、 not part of ESD Association standard test method ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2015.) FOREWORD This standard test method1 is intended to provide test methods for measuring the resistance of floor materials, footwear and personnel, together as a system. This standard test method covers all floor materials used t

15、o control electrostatic discharge (ESD) including floor mats, floor coverings, coatings, paints, and floor finishes, together with footwear. This standard test method is limited to defining procedures for measuring electrical resistance through personnel in combination with floor materials and footw

16、ear. This standard test method provides data that is relevant during qualification testing or for testing on installed or applied material. Electrical resistance is one property that can be used to evaluate the electrostatic characteristics of floor materials. However, resistance does not fully char

17、acterize these materials. An additional property to be considered in the selection and use of floor materials includes charge accumulation. Refer also to ANSI/ESD STM97.2, Footwear/Flooring System - Voltage Measurement in Combination with a Person. A common source of electrostatic charge in a work e

18、nvironment is the separation of foot or caster from the floor, resulting in the generation of electrostatic charge that can accumulate on personnel and equipment. The effect of this generation and accumulation of electrostatic charge can be minimized with appropriate selection or treatment of the fl

19、oor material. To effectively control electrostatic discharge on personnel and equipment, floor materials shall be used in combination with ESD controlled footwear or other grounding devices. A floor material which is conductive enough to discharge an object may also pose a safety hazard. The work pe

20、rformed on the floor material often entails the use of tools and test instruments which operate at voltages high enough to cause electrical shock. The presence of a floor material tested using the methods described in this document will not guarantee personnel safety. This document was originally de

33、Product Qualification The meter shall have DC voltage of 100 volts ( 5%) while under load for measurements of 1.0 x 106 ohms and above, and 10 volts ( 5%) while under load for measurements less than 1.0 x 106 ohms. The meter shall be capable of making measurements from 1.0 x 103 ohms to 1.0 x 1013 o

34、hms. For Acceptance Testing (for Installed or Applied Flooring) A meter meeting the requirements of the product qualification meter may be used for acceptance testing, or: The meter shall have a DC open circuit voltage of 100 volts ( 5%) for measurements of 1.0 x 106 ohms and above, and 10 volts ( 5

35、%) for measurements less than 1.0 x 106 ohms. The meter shall be capable of making measurements from 1.0 x 103 ohms to 1.0 x 1013 ohms.

36、 33609; 813-877-2726 ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2015 3 5.1.2 Hand-Held Electrode A stainless steel, brass or copper round or tubular stock, approximately 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter x 7.5 cm (3 inches) or greater in length, with a banana plug receptacle or screw connector attached to one end of the cylinder.

37、5.1.3 Environmental Walk-In Test Chamber An enclosed walk-in chamber with appropriate controls and meters capable of controlling relative humidity (RH) to 12% RH ( 3% RH) and temperature to 23C ( 3C). The humidity indicating instrumentation shall be accurate to 3% RH in the operational range. 5.1.4

38、Specimen Support Material 5.1.4.1 For testing of floor finishes, use the floor surface to which the finish would be applied. Mount floor surface on 6.3 mm (0.25 inch) tempered hardboard. The support material should be larger than the specimen. 5.1.4.2 For testing of floors and mats, mount sample on

39、6.3 mm (0.25 inch) hardboard. The support material should be larger than the specimen. 5.1.4.3 Support material shall be clean, smooth and shall have a surface resistivity greater than 1.0 x 1013 ohms/square when measured per ASTM D257 or a surface resistance greater than 1.0 x 1012 ohms when measur

40、ed per ANSI/ESD STM11.11. For test methods using 2.27 kg (5 lb), 6.35 cm (2.5 inch) electrodes, an alternate method to verify the properties of the specimen support surface may be used, by measuring the resistance point-to-point of the material with the electrodes spaced at least 15 cm (6 inches) ap

41、art (edge-to-edge). A resistance point-to-point of at least one order of magnitude greater than the upper limit of the item being measured is required. 5.2 Test Procedures Qualification Testing 5.2.1 Specimen Preparation 5.2.1.1 Minimum size of specimen is 91 cm x 91 cm (36 inches x 36 inches) or la

42、rger. 5.2.1.2 Mount specimen on support material as per Section 5.1.4 using manufacturers recommended procedures. 5.2.1.3 Each sample should have one or more ground connections (referred to as groundable point in this document) that simulate end use grounding methods. 5.2.2 Pre-Conditioning 5.2.2.1

43、Cleaning of Specimens 5.2.2.1.1 Flooring, Mats, or Other Hard Surface Materials and Footwear Clean two times following manufacturers recommendations or clean with a minimum 70% isopropanol-water solution using a clean, low-linting cloth. 5.2.2.1.2 Textile and Other Floor Coverings For the purpose of

44、 removing residual, non-permanent substances, clean according to manufacturers recommendations. In the absence of such recommendations, clean with standard hot water extraction procedures, such as ANSI/IICRC S100 or AATCC-171. ANSI/ESD STM97.1-2015 4 5.2.2.1.3 Floor Finishes Remove any surface conta

45、mination by wiping with a clean, dry, low-linting cloth. 5.2.2.2 Humidity Conditioning Immediately after cleaning floor material specimens and footwear, place them into an environmental chamber at a relative humidity 12% ( 3% RH) and a temperature of 23C ( 3C) for 72 hours minimum. 5.2.3 Test Proced

46、ures Resistance through a Person to a Test Surfaces Groundable Point 5.2.3.1 Connect the negative lead of the meter to a groundable point of the specimen surface and the other lead to a hand-held electrode. 5.2.3.2 Wear the test footwear on both feet for at least 10 minutes. Set voltage to 10 volts,

47、 stand on the test surface with both feet, grasp the hand-held electrode and apply the test voltage (see Figure 1). If the indicated resistance is less than 1.0 x 106 ohms, record the value. If the indicated resistance is equal to or greater than 1.0 x 106 ohms change voltage to 100 volts, record th

48、e resistance after the measurement has stabilized or after 15 seconds has elapsed. Remove test voltage. 5.2.3.3 Repeat 5.2.3.2 with only the left foot in contact with the surface and the other foot held in the air and record resistance. Repeat 5.2.3.2 with only the right foot in contact with the sur

49、face and the other foot held in the air and record resistance. 5.2.3.4 Repeat 5.2.3.2 through 5.2.3.3 at three different locations on the surface of the test specimen (see Figure 1). 5.2.4 Reporting of Test Results Report all resistance measurements in ohms. Also report test voltage, temperature, relative humidity and date of testing, identity of footwear, composition of socks, identity of floor material, identity of person, test equipment used, and substrate to which the test specimen was applied.
