• Self-Testing Static Grounding Clamp Increases Safety in Hazardous Area (.pdf)
  In many branches of the process industries, fires and explosions can result from electrostatic discharge in hazardous areas. Even relatively small static sparks have sufficient energy to ignite many flammable vapours, gases and even airborne dusts. Standards dictate that static grounding...

  the risk in hazardous areas. Traditionally, flammable liquids have been transported in metal drums and the need to earth these during filling and emptying operations, in. order to prevent the build up of static electricity, is generally well known. Likewise, powders were often stored in paper sacks...
