Conductivity, Current, and Voltage Testing
Laboratory Testing for Voltage, Current, and Conductivity
Electrical testing such as conductivity testing, current testing, and voltage testing are important parts of understanding the way electricity moves through your product. Which is why it’s important to utilize electrical testing methods to test circuits, verify voltages, check for conductivity issues, and ensure insulation materials are working effectively.
Not only does professional electrical testing services make sure your electrical components are operating as intended, it also ensures that your products are up to safety standards and meet the expectations of end users. That’s why it’s so important to perform electricity tests (including voltage, conductivity, and current) on products, components, or subassemblies using electrical components.
Cross Testing can perform the electrical testing services you need to ensure reliable voltage, consistent current, and the right conductivity for your product or material. We’ve worked with many operations across a wide range of industries. And we can provide the same quality testing services for your operation, too.
Electrical Equipment Safety and Testing
At Cross, we offer comprehensive testing for materials, parts, and components that are subject to electrical currents. By performing extensive conductivity, current, and voltage testing, we can work with you to make sure your product is safe, meets any quality standards, and is fit for purpose before it gets to your end user.
Performing safety testing on electrical equipment helps determine how well the material components operate, their effectiveness in electrical performance, and validating behavior when exposed to electrical fields or currents. These can be huge considerations during research and development. And if unchecked, can lead to liability, recalls, and other issues down the line.
At Cross, we work with you to validate your electrical components through conductivity, current, and voltage testing. This includes testing insulation materials, cables, liquids, circuits, wires, and other components exposed to electricity.

Accurately Measuring Voltage
Withstand voltage testing is used to make sure a given electrical component or part has sufficient insulation strength (or dielectric strength) to handle the voltages it may be exposed to. There are several points to consider within an electrical component when checking voltage.
First, checking between the power supply line and the grounded enclosure. This verifies the insulation strength and can be performed on many Class 1 devices that include protective grounding. This is also an important safety precaution in the device.
Second, verifying voltage between power supply and any ungrounded enclosures. This checks the insulation strength of any reinforced insulation and can be used in voltage testing for Class 1 and Class 2 electrical devices.
Third, checking between any enclosures and isolated connections. This is a means of verifying that connections are electrically isolated and also functions as a check for basic insulation. This is used in devices containing isolated connections.
A variety of voltage tests can be performed, including product certification, factory acceptance tests, non-destructive testing, failure analysis, and inspection of individual components. If you’re looking for voltage testing services, Cross can help. Click to learn more about voltage testing

Conductivity Testing Services
Conductivity testing is generally performed to determine the resistivity of conductor materials. The standard test method for this is ASTM B193-87. Conductivity is calculated based on the measured resistance and the dimensions of the sample.
In practice, most metals have electrical resistance. This resistance is affected by the purity of the metal itself. However, if the electrical resistance is lower or higher than anticipated, problems can occur. These can include poor performance, dangerous operating conditions, and product damage. That’s why understanding conductivity and product electrical resistance is critical.
At Cross Testing, our ISO 17025 accredited electrical testing lab allows us to perform precise conductivity testing services for all of our customers who need it. Working with Cross provides accurate results, detailed data logging, and comprehensive results.
Eddy Current Testing for Electrical Equipment
Eddy current testing (ET) can also provide useful, actionable information for electronics. Current inspection is a non-destructive testing method that can be particularly useful in testing heat exchangers and other electrical components. It can also be useful in detecting cracks, material thickness, and measuring general conductivity.
Cross can provide current testing for a wide range of applications and for many industries to validate critical components. Finding surface flaws in conductive materials can be an indispensable part of product development, and Cross is here to help with it.
