Q: What is the difference between Low static 3.5kv carpeting and static dissipative carpeting? When used on walls is 3.5kv carpeting ok in electronic equipment rooms? A: When people refer to 3.5 kV carpeting I believe they are referring to the threshold voltage that...
Q: How does a wrist bandcum footwear ground tester differ from the work station monitor? Can we not use only the work station monitor when it can monitor the worthiness of wrist strap even? And, Can we not check the worthiness of a wrist strap with a normal multimeter...
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...
Q: How does ESD Gloves, Aprons and Bunny Suit help for static discharge? WIll it not be mandatory to wear the wrist band, footwear and heel strap along with it? A: People are a great generator of static electricity, among other things. The ESD gloves, aprons, etc....
Q: Is it necessary to use the ESD garments? Is it not possible to ground the charges developed through a person’s clothing through the human body which is grounded through a wrist strap, footwear or heel strap while working at an EPA? A: This depends who’s in...
Q: Is it necessary to use an ESD Chair when the humany body is already grounded through a Wrist Strap, Footwear or Heel Strap when working in an EPA? A: I think it’s a great idea. I can be sitting at a workstation with an ESD flooring system, have a wrist strap on...
Q: How do we do the copper mesh earthing in case of an Epoxy Floor? A: That’s a nice question. You first want to profile your structurally sound and moisture acceptable (3-maybe up to 5 lbs or less of water per 1000 square feet in a 24 hour period per ASTM E-1907-97...
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...
Q: What is the recommended size of the copper grid while installing the ESD Flooring and what should be the thickness of the copper foil? A: Copper tape comes in varying widths and typically comes in 108’ runs. Our Copper tape has an adhesive backing to it that...
Q: Some ESD material suppliers claim that Copper Mesh Grid is not required in case of two layer flooring. Is it correct and if so, why only in case of three layer? A: This question may be off topic. It sounds like you are talking about ESD flooring, not bench or floor...
