DC (High resistance)  Material
Description:  The  16008B  is  designed  to  operate  specifically  with 
4339B. It is used to measure surface or volume resistance/resistivi-
ty of insulation materials. The following figures show the block dia-
grams of resistivity measurements. 
Volume  resistivity  is  measured  across  the  material  (MUT)  by  the 
unguarded  and  guarded  electrodes.  Surface  resistivity,  on  the  other 
hand, is measured along the surface of the MUT (between the guard-
ed and  the  unguarded  electrodes). Notice  that  the  role  of  the  guard 
and unguarded  electrodes switch when  measuring volume  and  sur-
face  resistivity. 16008B  is  provided  with  three  different  electrode 
sizes  to  meet  size  requirements  by  different  measurement  stan-
dards. The guarded electrode eliminates measurement errors due to 
the edge effect and arbitrary contact pressure can be applied to the 
material  under  test.  It  is  also  equipped  with  a  high-voltage protec-
tion cover to shut off power when opened.
