Overview of ESD Testing Instruments | HORBEST
ESD testing is essential for ensuring the reliability and safety of electrostatic-sensitive environments, including production lines, ESD-safe workstations, and material verification processes. HORBEST offers a comprehensive range of ESD test CE certified instruments designed to meet international standards and deliver accurate, real-time electrostatic measurement and analysis.
🔧 Main Types of ESD Testing Instruments
1. Surface Resistance Testers
Used to measure the
surface resistance and resistance-to-ground of ESD flooring, work surfaces, shelves, garments, and more.
Typical models: Warmbier Metriso 2000, Metriso B530, and HORBEST SRM series.
✅ Compliant with ESD test CE standards.
2. Electrostatic Field Meters
Non-contact devices that measure the intensity of surface electric fields and ion balance.
Common models: SIMCO FMX-003, TREK Model 876, FMX-006.
FMX-006 supports ±20kV range and ion balance testing.
✅ Ideal for ESD testing in ionized environments.
3. Contact-Type Electrostatic Voltmeter
Designed to precisely measure the electrostatic voltage on ESDS components while avoiding external field interference.
Example: PROSTAT CVM-780.
Widely used in device-level ESD testing and EF failure analysis.
4. Wrist Strap and Footwear Testers
Verify the resistance range of anti-static wrist straps and
ESD footwear (typically 750KΩ–10MΩ).
Supports dual-circuit testing with both LED and buzzer alarms.
HORBEST WST series offers real-time testing and recording features.
5. Walking Voltage Testers
Monitor the voltage generated while personnel walk on ESD flooring to validate static dissipation.
Example: Warmbier WT 5000.
✅ Key for evaluating dynamic charge buildup in ESD test environments.
🧩 Other Auxiliary ESD Test Equipment
•Charge Plate Monitors
Used for decay time and ion balance testing in ionizers.
Example: Kleinwachter CPM 374.
•Digital Multimeters
Measure resistance to ground for conductive elements.
Example: FLUKE 15b.
•ESD Simulators / Discharge Generators
Perform IEC61000-4-2 compliance and anti-interference testing.
Example: ESD-2000Q.
