ESD Field strength
ESD Measuring
Electrostatic field meters and ionisation monitors measure the electrostatic field strength at workstations, conveyor lines, and EPA zones with typical measurement ranges of ±20 kV and resolutions down to 1 V - enabling precise charge detection at distances of 25-300 mm in compliance with IEC 61340-5-1 and IEC 61340-2-1. Unlike general-purpose instruments, ESD-specific field meters are calibrated to detect the hazardous threshold of ±200 V that can damage ESDS components with withstand voltages as low as 100 V (HBM Class 1A per ANSI/ESD S20.20).
This section brings together 20 field-strength meters and electrostatic field survey instruments from leading ESD metrology manufacturers, all meeting the measurement requirements defined in IEC 61340-5-1 and ANSI/ESD S20.20 for EPA qualification and periodic verification. Whether you need a handheld fieldmeter for spot checks or a continuously monitoring sensor for automated production lines, you will find calibrated, norm-compliant instruments here.
Typical applications: Electronics manufacturing and SMT assembly (IEC 61340-5-1, IPC-A-610), semiconductor fabrication and wafer handling (SEMI E78, SEMI S1/S2), medical device production (ISO 13485, IEC 61340-5-1), automotive electronics and sensor assembly (IATF 16949, VDA 6.3), aerospace and defence manufacturing (AS9100, ANSI/ESD S20.20), EPA set-up and periodic re-verification in line with ESD control programme requirements
