Course Description

This course provides an essential overview of static electricity, charge buildup and discharge, and the need for effective earthing to ensure safe and proper operation of piping systems. Designed for students interested in the importance of static earthing, as well as technicians and engineers seeking to refresh their knowledge, it covers how different flowing substances affect static charge, the role of lined PTFE piping, and various control measures to prevent static discharge. Participants will also learn about optimal practices for earthing, bonding, and resistance measurement.
