Carpet Static Electricity Tester


The Carpet Static Electricity Tester is a precision instrument designed to measure the electrostatic potential generated on carpets and floor coverings during walking. It provides reliable evaluation of discomfort risk caused by static electricity and delivers accurate data for quality control, research, and safety assessments in flooring and interior material applications.

Standards

GB/T 18044 - 2008 Carpet - Evaluation method for electrostatic behavior - Walking test

BS ISO 6356 Floor coverings - Assessment of electrostatic properties - Walking test

Applications

The carpet static electricity tester (walking test) is mainly used for the anti - static testing of carpets and other floor covering materials. It can be used by carpet manufacturing enterprises, carpet fiber production enterprises, textile (carpet) inspection institutions, the aviation and automotive interior industries, as well as scientific research institutions for quality inspection and technical evaluation.
