What does it mean by \"pipes with requirements for static grounding\"? Which pipelines do not require static grounding? Who decides whether pipelines require static grounding?
For materials such as acids and bases, plastic pipes are used, or water pipes made of plastic; such pipes generally do not require any static electricity grounding.
Whether static grounding is required is mainly determined by the material of the pipeline and the properties of the material being transported
I don’t understand either; I’ve come to learn*····
Pipelines with static grounding are primarily determined by the medium they carry; generally, these are flammable and explosive media. Static grounding is used to prevent the accumulation of static electricity during transportation, which could lead to static discharge and subsequent explosions. Have you seen any cooling water pipes, instrument air pipes, or nitrogen pipes that are grounded?
Of course, there are. When these pipes run parallel at a short distance from pipes carrying flammable and explosive materials, static electricity bonding grounds are installed every twenty meters.
What you’re saying sounds like a tongue-twister; it’s even less understandable! Let’s give an example
If it is not a flammable or explosive medium but rather a combustible one, is it necessary?
The material of pipelines is usually metal tubes. Materials that are explosive must be grounded; is grounding necessary as well if the medium is flammable? If it is acidic or alkaline but flammable, is it still necessary?
Acidic or alkaline substances that are flammable – do they need to be grounded? Some organic substances are acidic or basic in nature, but they can burn when exposed to high temperatures.
Flammable items still need to be grounded to prevent static electricity; it’s better to be cautious just in case.
