Conductive, antistatic and insulating hoses: the differences
The terms conductive, antistatic and insulating do not mean the same thing. It should be stated which electrical property is defined by which test method and product standard; a single resistance range should not be ass…
-
What does end-to-end electrical continuity mean?
End-to-end electrical continuity is evaluated between defined connection points on the completed hose assembly. Information given about the hose body or the metal reinforcement does not replace the measurement result fo…
-
Is a metal helix proof of grounding?
A metal helix or braid is not in itself a verified grounding connection. How the metal contacts the ends, the continuity path and the application criteria must be clearly defined and measured; visible wire is not suffic…
-
What information does an electrical resistance measurement record need?
An electrical resistance measurement record should contain the assembly identification, measurement points, method, instrument, conditions, result and acceptance source. An ohm value or a 'passed' statement alone is not…

Gathering information for hose selection in explosive atmospheres
Hose selection for an explosive atmosphere is not completed simply by asking for an antistatic product. The gas or dust hazard of the area, process conditions, electrical requirements, hot surfaces and the use of the en…
