STATIC DECAY METER
The ETS Model 4406 Static Decay Meter, which replaced the previous generation Model 406, utilizes patented technology to meet the requirements for static charge dissipation and static decay rate testing as required by the Department of Defense (DOD) and various industry test standards.
A variety of electrode configurations are available which enable the static dissipative characteristics of film, fabric, foam, plastic, glass, paper, liners, formed parts (non-flat), nonwovens, bags, mats, cellulose, carriers, tote boxes, dispensing equipment, garments, tables, consumer products, seating, flooring and many other materials to be evaluated for electrostatic characterization.
The sample is contained in a special Faraday Cage, which includes a patented Electrostatic Sensor that enables the system to make a true electrostatic (non-contact) measurement of the charge on the sample. A fail-safe interlock system is employed which automatically discharges the test sample and/or prevents charging of the test sample when the Faraday Cage hood is raised. The safety interlock system also prevents the sample from being charged if the cage is not properly connected to the Control Unit.
The Model 4406 can be used for static decay analysis in R&D (Research & Development), QC (Quality Control) and other applications to test materials where static electricity can impact performance, production, manufacturing, handling, appearance, safety and personnel comfort.
