This document specifies a method for determining the electrical conductivity and the electrical resistance of coating materials. The conductivity is usually measured for water-borne paints and varnishes, including electrodeposition coating materials, and the resistance is usually measured for solvent-borne paints and varnishes. If required, the resistivity of the coating material is calculated from either of these measurements. The method is applicable to products having a conductivity less than 5 µS/cm, corresponding to a resistivity greater than 200 kΩ⋅cm. The conductivity of coating materials influences their processibility in the presence of an electric field. This is particularly important for electrodeposition paints and coating materials which are processed electrostatically.

3.1 electrical resistance R ratio of the potential difference along a conductor and the current through the conductor
Note 1 to entry: Resistance is given by Ohm’s law shown in Formula (1):
From Formula (2), it can be seen that it corresponds to the ratio of the resistance to the resistivity of the conductor material. For the determination of the resistivity by resistance measurement, this geometrical factor, i.e. the cell constant of the measurement assembly, will need to be known. Cell constants are given in reciprocal centimetres (cm –1 ).
4 General
4.1 Measurement of the resistance The resistance may be determined by;
a) the measurement of the current through a sample and the voltage acting on the sample, or;
b) comparison of the measured resistance with a reference resistance. For the current/voltage measurement, usually a constant pre-determined voltage is applied to the sample, and the current is measured with a suitable measuring instrument (e.g. a moving-coil instrument or a digital instrument). The resistance is then calculated from Formula (1). See Figures 1 to 3.
To compare the resistance of the sample with a reference resistance, a bridge circuit is used in which the resistances are balanced so that the bridge current becomes zero. The resistance of the sample is calculated from the ratio of the resistances of the bridge circuit. Because the bridge current is zero, errors which can result from the existence of a load on the voltage source when the voltage/current measurement method is used are avoided. The only contributions to the overall measurement error are any uncertainty in the reference resistance and any uncertainty in the adjustable resistance. See Figure 4.BS EN ISO 15091 pdf download.
