Antistatic and Electrically Conductive Hoses
Description
When solid and liquid materials are conveyed through chargeable tubes or hoses, electro-static charging (separation of charged particles) occurs due to the friction of the material against the wall and the friction within the medium. The primary hazards are:
- The occurrence of discharges that can ignite the explosive mixtures of gas, vapour, mist and dust.
- Dangerous or unpredictable behaviour caused by shock when this discharge takes place via the human body.
- Process disruptions caused by the medium sticking to the hose wall.
- Malfunction of measuring devices and controllers.
The most reliable protective measure is to prevent electro-static charging in the first place by selection of the proper hose. Our products have proven their worth in application in this regard for a number of reasons.
