Abstract：
In this paper, we describe a series of performance tests for the RPC prototypes of the BESⅢ muon detector. A new type of bakelite plate is made and the resistivity of samples is measured at different temperatures. Eight RPC prototypes are built and their performance as a function of the bakelite resistivity is studied. The rate capability of these chambers in the streamer mode is also studied by using a ¹³⁷Cs γ source. The results show that RPCs made of the new type of bakelite fulfill the requirements of the BESⅢ muon detector.
