What is the difference between pipeline static bonding and pipeline lightning protection grounding?
You should now understand lightning protection bonding. . Static bonding is necessary because the substances inside pipes are flammable or combustible, and static electricity can easily accumulate. If this static electricity is not eliminated in time, it may lead to fires and explosions.
Just understand it literally: static bonding is used to prevent the accumulation of static electricity generated by the flow of materials in the pipelines; by performing bonding, the charges can be balanced. It’s definitely necessary to ground it as well! To be honest, it’s really the first time I’ve heard that pipelines need to be grounded for lightning protection; usually, it’s static grounding that’s mentioned! As long as the pipeline isn’t at a certain height, there should be no need to worry about lightning protection, right?
