Volume and Surface Resistivity
National Technical Systems (NTS)
Volume resistivity represents an insulating material’s resistance to leakage current through its body. It calculates the ratio of the potential gradient in relation to the current in a material with the same density. A direct-current resistance between opposing faces of a one-meter cube of the material numerically equates to volume resistivity in SI (Ohm-m).

Materials Testing
The importance of materials testing cannot be underestimated. Across every major industry, manufacturers, developers and operators of critically important systems, products and components need to be assured that the materials employed in forming their equipment are up to their intended tasks. That’s why the most diligent method of verifying that the materials companies use in manufacturing processes will perform to expectations and adhere to all applicable regulations is through reliable materials testing.
