Static Grounding Device
Category: petroleum
Function:
Summary: The ATEX certified DCMT4, is an incredibly reliable system for protecting plant and personnel, during tank loading and
unloading operations involving flammable or combustible products, from the risk of explosion.
Static grounding devices provide a path to ground for any static charge. Because static can build up on plastic pipe, even for water services, there is a possibility of a spark discharge of sufficient energy to cause ignition if the proper air/gas mixture is present. Use of a static electricity grounding device is a precaution that can dissipate the charge and minimize the possibility of ignition.
The ATEX certified DCMT4, is an incredibly reliable system for protecting plant and personnel during tank loading and unloading operations, involving flammable or combustible products, from the risk of explosion.
Any static charges generated by the liquid transfer process, is immediately transferred to ground by the DCMT4. The
DCMT4, thanks to its tank recognition function, makes it immediately apparent if the earth clamp is not connected to a
correct and conductive fitting on the tank/tanker. Your personnel can work safely.
