Static earthing and bonding in hazardous areas
Newson Gale has published a new 20 page guide to effective control of static electricity, entitled Earthing and Bonding Applications Controlling Static Electricity in Hazardous Areas
Newson Gale is pleased to announce their latest contribution to industrial safety by publishing a 20 page guide to effective control of static electricity, "Earthing and Bonding Applications Controlling Static Electricity in Hazardous Areas".
The new booklet is a useful, practical guide covering most common industrial hazardous area static control applications.
Drawing from and summarising all major International Codes of Practice, this handy booklet provides a general introduction into the problems caused by static electricity in industry.
To enable safety, maintenance and project engineers to identify the best earthing and bonding solution for any particular application, there is a series of detailed technical drawings and schematics.
The drawings cover all recognised static earthing techniques, including earth monitoring and interlock systems, self testing earthing and bonding clamps, as well as control concepts through a wide range of passive earthing and bonding devices.
The booklet also includes a useful static control checklist to encourage safe working practice in hazardous areas.
Available now completely FREE OF CHARGE to engineers, consultants and advisors in the chemical processing and related industries.
To order your copy (printed or electronic pdf format), please contact Newson Gale.
