Four-point measurement of resistance between voltage sense connections 2 and 3. Current is supplied via force connections 1 and 4. In electrical engineering, four-terminal sensing (4T sensing), 4-wire sensing, or 4-point probes method is an electrical impedance measuring technique that uses separate pairs of current-carrying and voltage-sensing electrodes to make more accurate measurements ...
Lower end meters might offer the possibility to externally supply these DC voltages or currents while higher end devices can supply them internally. In addition benchtop meters typically allow the usage of special fixtures (i.e., Kelvin wiring, that is to say, 4-wire connections) to measure SMD components, air-core coils or transformers.
A Kelvin bridge, also called a Kelvin double bridge and in some countries a Thomson bridge, is a measuring instrument used to measure unknown electrical resistors below 1 ohm. It is specifically designed to measure resistors that are constructed as four terminal resistors.
Beside the TLM it was proposed the gated four-probe measurement [3] and the modified time-of-flight method (TOF). [4] The direct methods able to measure potential drop on the injection electrode directly are the Kelvin probe force microscopy (KFM) [5] and the electric-field induced second harmonic generation.

This table shows thermal conductivity in SI units of watts per metre-kelvin (W·m −1 ·K −1). Some measurements use the imperial unit BTUs per foot per hour per degree Fahrenheit ( 1 BTU h −1 ft −1 F −1 = 1.728 W·m −1 ·K −1 ).
A Clothespin or Kelvin clip is a special form of crocodile clip whose jaws are insulated from each other, allowing two isolated wires to connect to a single test point. This enables 4-wire measurement of circuits with very low resistances.
Temperature effects on the lead wires can be cancelled by using a "3-wire bridge" or a "4-wire ohm circuit" [7] (also called a "4-wire Kelvin connection"). In any case it is a good engineering practice to keep the Wheatstone bridge voltage drive low enough to avoid the self heating of the strain gauge.
A Assuming an altitude of 194 metres above mean sea level (the worldwide median altitude of human habitation), an indoor temperature of 23 °C, a dewpoint of 9 °C (40.85% relative humidity), and 760 mmHg sea level–corrected barometric pressure (molar water vapor content = 1.16%).
