Proper grounding and bonding can prevent ignition due to lightning, static electricity and stray currents.
Bonding and grounding are the same thing.
Grounding is also referred to as "earthing".
All bonding is accomplished by use of wires.
Workers can be grounded through the use of static dissipating boots.
Dialectric boots act as insulators to prevent static from freely dissipating.
When two conductors isolated from each other by a dielectric union or bushing, the ability of either conductor to accumulate a charge increases.
Spray finishing equipment is notorious for generating static charges.
Steam cleaning can cause the accumulation of a static charge.
Static electrical discharges will only cause ignition if the energy released is adequate to cause ignition.
The discharge of static will cause ignition only in atmospheres within the flammable range of the fuel present.
An electrical spark is incapable of igniting gasoline vapors when only 14.2% oxygen is in the atmosphere.
