    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Gives procedures for determining the electrical volume resistivity and mass resistivity of solid (non-stranded) metallic conductor and resistor materials, and the resistance per unit length of solid conductors (of uniform cross-sectional area) of metallic materials. Sets out both reference and routine methods of measuring the resistivity of metallic materials.
