Webinar: Fundamentals of electrostatic earthing of Type C FIBC

Watch Time 17 minutes

Presenter Tom Padden

Key Learnings

This webinar introduces viewers to the fundamentals of electrostatic hazards in industrial settings, with a focus on FIBC Type C and how different types of FIBC bags affect spark risk and safe handling. It explains how static charge builds, why it matters for ignition safety, and what to consider when selecting the right container type for hazardous atmospheres.

Want to learn more about earthing a Type C FIBC?

Correct earthing is one of the most important controls for reducing electrostatic ignition risk during Type C FIBC filling and discharge. Explore the resources below for practical guidance, demonstrations, and product information.

Static Grounding Solutions for North America

If you need NEC (North American) HAZLOC-approved static grounding solutions, visit our dedicated NEC website newson-gale.com.

Universal Resistance Tester

The Universal Resistance Tester (URT) is designed to provide users of Newson Gale Bond-Rite^® static earthing systems with a means of testing the permissive resistance range on a regular basis.

The easy-to-use tester consists of a pair of rotary switches that enable a competent electrical person to check the resistance level at which the earthing system should be working and conduct a PASS/FAIL test at the required setting.

Earth-Rite® MGV Tester

The Earth-Rite^® MGV Tester is a capacitance resistance tester (CRT) designed to have the same electrical characteristics as a road tanker and provides engineers with a means of checking that the Earth-Rite^® MGV undergoing installation is permissive when it detects these characteristics.

The tester is connected to the Earth-Rite^® MGV system and its earthing point, and when activated, the Earth-Rite^® MGV’s LED indicators change from red to green, confirming that the Road Tanker Recognition and Static Earth Verification checks are functioning as intended.

The CRT is highly recommended with a minimum of one per site.

• Required for system commissioning and routine service checks
• Easy to use with simple PASS/FAIL condition

Cen-Stat™ Reels

Newson Gale’s R-series of static earthing reels offer Hytrel^® cable housed on an automatically retractable cable reel.

Magnetic Clamp Stowage Point

An optional stowage point is available for the VESX50-IP 2-pole magnetic earthing clamp. It allows the clamp to have a designated stowage point close to the item of ferrous metal-based plant that the operator can use to stow the clamp safely when it is not in use.

Cen-Stat™ Cables

Cen-Stat™ is a range of brightly coloured cables specially designed for applications in industrial and hazardous areas. Cen-Stat™ cables are based upon Hytrel^® that combines the flexibility of rubber with the strength and process flexibility of thermoplastics.

Cables made from Hytrel^® are mechanically resilient, have a wide working temperature and are resistant to a wide range of chemicals, as well as strong and durable.

Cen-Stat™ Clamps and Cables

The Cen-Stat™ range of ATEX and FM approved static earthing clamps and systems are designed to operate in the harshest HAZLOC/EX areas. The certifications achieved by our range of clamps and cables benchmark their ability to establish and maintain good electrical contact with equipment requiring static earthing and bonding protection.

VESX50-IP Magnetic Earthing Clamp

Earthing and bonding metal objects ranging from small cans to 55-gallon drums.
Stainless Steel 304 construction body.
The strongest type of commercial Neodymium magnets.
Quick connect functionality for easy removal out of hazardous locations.
Monitors to 10 ohms or less.
Can be integrated into the Earth-Rite^® and Bond-Rite^® systems to ensure a true verified earth connection.

VESX90-IP Large Heavy-Duty Clamp

earthing and bonding metal objects ranging from 55-gallon drums to large metal totes and IBCs.
Stainless steel 304 construction body.
Tungsten carbide teeth to bite through paint deposit buildup.
Quick connect functionality for easy removal out of hazardous locations.
Monitors to 10 ohms or less.
Can be integrated into the Earth-Rite^® and Bond-Rite^® systems to ensure a true verified earth connection.

VESX45-IP Medium Heavy-Duty Clamp

earthing and bonding metal objects ranging from small cans to 55-gallon drums.
Stainless steel 304 construction body.
Tungsten carbide teeth to bite through paint deposit buildup.
Quick connect functionality for easy removal out of hazardous locations.
Monitors to 10 ohms or less.
Can be integrated into the Earth-Rite^® and Bond-Rite^® systems to ensure a true verified earth connection.

Earthing Clamps and Cable Length Options

Equipment specifiers can order the Bond-Rite^® CLAMP with 2-pole Cen-Stat^TM cable on standard spiral lengths of 3 m (10 ft), 5 m (16 ft) 10 m (32 ft) and 15 m (50 ft) of cable.

The spiral cable retracts when the clamp is not in use, ensuring the cable is neatly stowed and safely out of the way.

Universal Resistance Tester

The Universal Resistance Tester (URT) is designed to provide users of Newson Gale Earth-Rite^® static earthing systems with a means of testing the permissive resistance range on a regular basis.

The easy-to-use tester consists of a pair of rotary switches that enable a competent electrical person to check the resistance level at which the earthing system should be working and conduct a PASS/FAIL test at the required setting.

2-Pole Surface Mountable Connector

With this assembly operators tasked with earthing mobile process equipment will have a dedicated earthing point to attach the easy-to-use screw thread connector. The ‘plug-and-play connector can interface with all Newson Gale 2-core systems to provide earth monitoring capability on a wide range of mobile processes and equipment where generic earthing clamps cannot be used. The conical shape design aids in the reduction of powder deposit build-up over time and aids in clean-down operations.

Made using Stainless steel with Viton O-Rings
IP 66
-40° C to 60˚ C
Various lengths of straight or spiral Hytrel^® cable are available
IECEx Ex h Certification:
- Ex h IIC T6 Ga

- IECEx EXV 20.0033

Portable Static Earthing Kit

A quick and easy-to-use earthing kit which may be swiftly deployed in emergency or combustible material transfer operations where pre-existing designated grounding points are not available or accessible.

The portable earthing kit combines multiple shortened earthing rods (355 mm long) with surface wire grounding techniques to provide acceptably low resistance for static grounding requirements in field operations.

The flexible array of interconnected earthing rods is inserted into the soil at specified intervals to maximise the ability to safely dissipate static electricity from mobile trucks, service vehicles and other equipment.

The kit includes multiple rods, surface earthing wires, earth tab and driver tool.
Quick and easy to install and retrieve.

Ex Strobe Light

The strobe light is mounted in an elevated position and when the equipment is correctly earthed, flashes continuously informing personnel that a transfer process is underway and is protected from the static hazard. The strobe light can be used in conjunction with this product.

• 115 V / 230 V AC and 24 V DC options
• ATEX / IECEx approved Ex d strobe light
• II 2G Ex d IIC T4 (Ta. -50° C to +70° C)

Sun Shield

Designed for operating environments subject to intense sunlight, the ERII Sun Shield protects against direct sunlight hitting the indicators on the static earthing system.

The Sun Shield casts a shadow over the indicators during peak sunlight hours so that operators can easily view the earth status indicators. The shield is constructed from stainless steel and can be fitted to any installation in a matter of minutes.

Intrinsically Safe (IS) Switching PCB

The IS Switching PCB is an additional circuit board added to Newson Gale system enclosures, enabling users to directly interface with, and switch, intrinsically safe circuits without the need for additional equipment. The IS Switching PCB is designed not to affect the IS signals electrical parameters and is compatible with this product.
