Description
SME-8311 Flat Sample Electrode for Accurate Insulation Testing
The SME-8311 Flat Sample Electrode is a precision measurement accessory developed for evaluating the insulation resistance of flat material samples. When paired with Hioki Super Megohmmeters from the SM7000 series, it provides stable, repeatable, and reliable measurement results for materials with high insulating properties.
Flat Material Evaluation
This electrode is engineered to accommodate flat samples ranging from 40 mm to 100 mm square with a maximum thickness of 8 mm. The carefully designed electrode structure ensures uniform contact with the sample surface, helping reduce measurement variability and improving overall accuracy. Its main electrode diameter of 19.6 mm, combined with inner and outer ring electrode diameters of 24.1 mm and 28.8 mm, allows precise control of the electric field during testing.
Safety and Ease of Use
Operator safety is a key advantage of the SME-8311 Flat Sample Electrode. The system automatically turns the measurement voltage off when the lid is opened, minimizing the risk of accidental exposure during setup or sample replacement. This makes it well suited for frequent testing in quality control labs, research facilities, and manufacturing environments.
Compatibility and Applications
The SME-8311 shares the same fundamental specifications as the SME-8310, making it a reliable choice for users already familiar with Hioki insulation testing accessories. It is commonly used for testing flat insulating materials such as plastic sheets, laminated materials, coated substrates, and other flat components requiring high insulation resistance verification.
When used with the optional Z5010 Conversion Adapter, the SME-8311 integrates seamlessly with the SM7000 series. For enhanced safety and interlock functionality, the DSM8104F Interlock Cable can also be added. Its compact footprint and durable construction make it suitable for both laboratory benches and production testing stations.
