Static dissipative compound provides safety in explosive environments

摘要

When GE Sensing & Inspection Technologies, a leading innovator in advanced measurement, sensor-based and inspection solutions, wanted to develop a rnmicroprocessor-controlled digital pressure gauge that could meet the static dissipation standards established by the European ATEX Directive, they worked with speciality compounder RTP Company to find die best static dissipative compound for the gauges exterior housing. "Keeping workers safe by preventing accidents in environments with potentially explosive atmospheres is absolutely critical," explained Jim Henke, global product manager at GE Sensing & Inspection.
