Five Common Myths About Electrostatic Ignition Hazards in Process Industries
Why static electricity requires more than bonding and grounding Static electricity is one of the recognized ignition sources capable of initiating fires and explosions in industrial facilities. Yet electrostatic ignition hazards are frequently misunderstood. A bonding cable may be installed and the hazard considered solved. A high laboratory-measured minimum ignition energy may be interpreted as evidence that…
