Dissipative vs. Static Conductive Flooring: Which Works Best?

Dissipative vs. Static Conductive Flooring: Which Works Best?

Previously, we talked in greater detail about how ESD flooring works. But when it comes to choosing what type of static control flooring to use, the biggest question you need to answer is this: Should I use static dissipative flooring or static conductive flooring?...

What is Static Electricity?

Q: What is Static Electricity? A: Static Electricity can be defined as an electrical charge at rest.  ESD is the transfer of static charges between bodies or objects at different electrical potentials. This may be caused by either direct contact or by induction of an...

The difference between an ESD Control Program and Plan

Q: I’m having a hard time understanding the difference between an ESD Control “Program” and an ESD Control Program “Plan”… Can someone explain what is required? Do I need two documents, one “Program” and one...

ESDA Specifications

Q: May I know the standard test procedures and parameters (ie: surface resistivity/surface to or person to ground resistance, decay time or any other parameter if applicable) and recommended values for confirming the worthiness of the following ESD items? ALL ESD...

Minimum ESD earth resistance and voltage

Q: What should be the Minimum ESD earth resistance and voltage? A: RTG and PTP resistance needs to be between 2.5e4 and 1e06 Ω for conductive and from 1e06 to 1e09 Ω per ANSI/ESD S20.20-1999 via ANSI/ESD S7.1-2005 or the combination of a person wearing ESD footwear...
