ESD Testing

• All IAC static-dissipative work surfaces, shelves and ground bolts are pre-tested at the factory.
• Using a megohmmeter the surface resistance should measure between 1 megohmm 106 and 1,000 megohms 109 at 50% relative humidity. At 10% relative humidity, resistance increases one order in magnitude 1x 1010 at 90% relative humidity or higher, resistance decreases one order in magnitude 1x 105. IAC uses a 3M Model 701 Megohmmeter.
• Using a multi-meter perform a standard continuity test between the ground stud that is connected to the laminate of the work surface or shelf and end of the ground cord. The resistance should measure approximately 1 megohm. Note: The IAC work surface ground cord include a 1 megohm resistor built in.

Load Capacity Information

• Complete Accessorized Premium and Industrial Workbenches
• When load capacity is discussed in this catalog it references the capacity for the entire premium or industrial workbench.
• This includes not only loads placed on the work surface, but also the weights contributed by any shelves, cabinets, or other accessories attached to the premium or industrial workbench and the items placed on or in those accessories.
• Care should be given to total weight of all accessories added to the premium or industrial workbench and the anticipated materials to be carried on the work surface when configuring your order.
• Your IAC representative can be of assistance in calculating total load bearing capabilities.
