For measurement of conductivity / resistivity of powder samples to enable identification of highly insulating powders which may create electrostatic ignition risks.
Powders will nearly always acquire electrostatic charge during processing, the level of charge being largely determined by the violence of the process.
When the material handling operation moves the powder about, charges are separated - sometimes in tremendous quantities. The test determines to what value the sample is resistive when desired current is passed through it. Based on the value the powder can be classified as conductive, dissipative, insulative.
