Transforming Technologies ESD Floor Mat Selection Guide

ESD Floor Mat Selection Guide

A static control mat provides a path to ground for charge on items placed on the mat. Electrically insulative items will not allow their charge to transfer to ground. ESD mats are an integral part of an ESD program.

HOW TO TEST ESD MATS

RTG is the resistance from one point on the mats surface to the facility AC equipment ground, and is the funda- mental electrical test for a mat. A proper RTG insures that a mat can conduct charge from a point on the surface to the facility ground. ANSI/ESD S-20.20 has an upper limit of <1x10^9 ohms.

RTT is the resistance from one point on the mats surface to another point. A proper RTT insures the consistency of the mat resistance properties.

Measurements are made with a surface resistance meter such as the SRM310, SRM330, or SRM500K.
