explosion protection

Surface resistance is considered an important parameter in explosion protection to assess the electrostatic charge of building elements which might lead to electrostatic discharge and, in the worst case, to an ignition of an explosive atmosphere.

Streifenelektrode

A strip electrode constructed by PTB serves to measure surface resistance according to the relevant standard IEC 60079-32-2. It combines the advantages of various marketable concepts and aims at a safe, user-friendly solution that provides precise and reproducible results. (Technology Offer 7062)
