It is accepted that each day throughout Europe a static related incident causes a serious fire or explosion, whilst in the UK alone; HSE statistics suggest that some 50 such incidents occur each year....
The 2 pole static grounding clamp ensures positive contact with the metallic item of plant equipment to be grounded. Powerful magnets together with tungsten carbide teeth provide a strong low resistance connection of 10 Ohms or less to any ferrous metal surface. Download the full datasheet here....
When transferring highly flammable or combustible products into metal drums, cans, Ex IBCs etc. it is essential that hazardous process industries have suitable grounding in place to protect the safety of plant and personnel. To understand what can go wrong when these types of product transfers are not protected, download Newson Gale's latest case study....
The new Earth-Rite DGS - Dual Grounding System has been designed to ground and monitor (to less than 10 Ohms) two items of plant simultaneously. Interlocking capabilities with the process enhances safety and provides operators a clear view of when the grounded process is underway....
Unfortunately, road tanker drive-offs are a common occurrence. The newly designed break away connector, which can be installed in the Earth-Rite range of products, separates the static grounding system and cable from the clamp if the road tanker is driven off prematurely....
The 2 pole static grounding clamp ensures positive contact with the metallic item of plant equipment to be grounded. Powerful magnets together with tungsten carbide teeth provide a strong low resistance connection of 10 Ohms or less to any ferrous metal surface. Download the full datasheet here....
For years now simple passive grounding has been used throughout industry as a low-cost safety measure and protection against fires and explosions caused by static electricity – but is it as safe as you think? Download Newson Gale's full article to understand why active monitoring is so much safer....
In potentially explosive atmospheres, the amount of energy contained in spark discharges from plant equipment and even people may be sufficient to ignite a wide variety of processed material during handling operations, such as fine dusts, powder granules, liquids and vapours. Newson Gales’ electrostatic earthing solutions provide a safer working environment....
During transloading operations the Earth-Rite® DGS – Dual Grounding System, allows operators to ground and continuously monitor two items of metal conductive plant equipment concurrently to less than 10 Ohms. Typical applications include two bulk transportation vehicles or other metallic vessels like Ex IBCs, road tankers or railcars. Are you clamping down on your static hazards?...
