Static elimination issue
Thread Content
I have a question I’d like to ask everyone. For example, when a fluorinated or plastic-lined pipe is used to transport organic solvents, static electricity can build up in the liquid inside the pipe. In such cases, can I insert a metal object in between to ground the pipe and guide the static electricity away? For example, adding tantalum pins and causing a fall due to static electricity. Could there be other security risks? Take toluene as an example.
Learning*, same question: Is it not a concern regarding static electricity when using PE pipes to transport gas and natural gas these days? ? :D

Can wound gaskets (304 steel strip + graphite) or corrugated gaskets (304 frame + graphite coating) solve the problem? ? ? ? ? ?

If the solvent becomes charged, it will induce a charge on the metal, resulting in discharge between the solvent and the metal casing. The fundamental solution is to ground the metal parts. Generally, static electricity does not easily occur between gases and solids; it is only when there is wind that static electricity is generated.
