Abstract

A hand-held, low cost, low voltage surface resistivity meter is provided by a contact surface which is essentially independent of the geometry of the surface to be measured. The use of special materials for the contact surface permits increased accuracy to be achieved at low voltages. Recognition that readings shown simply to the power of 10 are fully useful in characterizing a measured material permits a low cost, low voltage arrangement for the meter.
