Additional Sales Information: Protecting Type C FIBC against static electricity
Product Description
IEC TS 60079-32-1 addresses the potential for static charge accumulation on FIBC and lists the four types of FIBC specified in IEC 61340-4-4.
With respect to Type C FIBC, it states: “Type C FIBC are designed to be connected to earth during filling and emptying operations.”
The Earth-Rite II FIBC is a grounding system for Type C bags that are manufactured in accordance with IEC 61340-4-4. It consists of a grounding system and a pair of grounding clamps.
If the resistance through the conductive or static dissipative elements of the Type C bag is less than the required threshold, the ground status indicators switch from red to pulsing green.
It should be noted that the grounding system is not a substitute for the test methods outlined in IEC 61340-4-4. The grounding system indicates that the threshold resistance of the conductive dissipative / components of the bag are in line with the specified resistance range and that a ground loop has been established with the site’s locally verified ground source.
The static dissipative performance of the bag is the sole responsibility of the bag manufacturer and the site owner.
