Electrical Resistivity Stage AEH1500V-R
Product Detail
InSitu Pro™ AEH1500V-R takes four-probe resistivity measurement to ultra-high temperature: RT to 1500 °C at ±0.1 °C, with Max heating 150 °C/min and a controllable cooling rate, for studying the electrical-resistance characteristics of conductive rubber, conductive plastics and other materials at different temperatures. The complete measurement system builds on the ultra-high-temperature probe heating stage together with a four-probe sheet-resistance tester and dedicated test software — the stage itself carries a ceramic φ16 mm platform, pure tungsten probes ×4 on BNC ×4, and an atmosphere / vacuum chamber.
Key features

Heating in air? Plan for oxidation
When operated in air at elevated temperature, many metals and alloys may oxidize — the extent depends on material composition, surface condition, temperature, atmosphere, and exposure time. Hold a sample for an hour at a temperature within the simulator range and see:
Model: parabolic oxidation x² = k·t with an Arrhenius rate constant — an approximation for diffusion-controlled oxidation, not every material or temperature; the vacuum panel suppresses the oxidant supply. The simulator covers 200–1000 °C and does not model the AEH1500V-R operating range above 1000 °C. The chamber specification lists atmosphere / vacuum operation — confirm the intended operating atmosphere at quotation. Curves are schematic, not performance data for a specific stage or sample.

FAQ
What does the four-probe method measure, and why four probes?
In a four-probe arrangement, one pair of probes carries the current while a separate pair senses the voltage, so the influence of lead and contact resistance is substantially reduced — the standard approach for sheet-resistance and resistivity work. The AEH1500V-R is built around this method: the system pairs the stage with a four-probe sheet-resistance tester and dedicated test software for resistance–temperature studies of conductive rubber, conductive plastics and other materials.
Is the four-probe tester part of the standard configuration?
The system description lists the ultra-high-temperature probe heating stage, a four-probe sheet-resistance tester, and dedicated test software as the components of the complete measurement system. The Basic configuration table above covers the stage delivery — main unit, temperature controller, water-circulation system, PC control software, and cables & accessories — so confirm the tester and test-software scope for your measurement at quotation.
Can the sample platform be grounded?
On this model the specification lists the sample-stage surface as electrically floating; a grounded option is not listed. If your measurement needs a selectable grounded / floating stage surface, see the AEH1000/AEH1200/AEH1000S-HE probe stages, which offer both.
Can it run under vacuum?
Yes — the chamber specification lists atmosphere / vacuum operation, so the stage can be operated in an atmosphere or under vacuum. For oxidation-prone samples the simulator above contrasts air with vacuum schematically; actual behavior depends on the achieved pressure, the material, and the temperature. Confirm the intended operating environment and configuration at quotation.
How do I order, and can probes or fixtures be customized?
The AEH1500V-R is supplied by quotation: request via this page or the InSitu Pro™ Stage Selector, and our engineers confirm the configuration for your measurement and reply with pricing and lead time. Custom probes and probe interfaces are listed options; across the electrical stage family the fixture options include conventional, RF and Kelvin probes, probe cards, terminal posts, PCB boards and pin headers, with fA-class and pA-class leakage-current options.
