A novel resistance conversion unit from Stable Micro Systems allows manufacturers to test the electrical resistance of a wide range of conductive materials when subjected to physical deformation.
The performance of electronic switches can also be investigated, making the resistance conversion unit suitable for a wide number of uses.
The resistance conversion unit will be extremely valuable for manufacturers of polymers, adhesives, gaskets, coatings and other conductive products.
It can measure electrical resistance between 0 and 2 or 0 and 20ohm.
Attached to Stable Micro Systems' TA.XTPlus instrument, it gathers data at 500 measurements per second, making it one of the fastest and most accurate testing methods available.
The results of the test are plotted in real time as graphs (force/resistance or distance/resistance) and can be analysed by proprietary software or exported for external analysis.
The data acquired gives a useful indication of the performance of conductive products in electronics applications.
