Conductive Tubing Eliminates Static Discharge and Prevents Buildup

| By Chemical Engineering

A full range of conductive fluoroplastic tubing is now offered in a variety of sizes and configurations to eliminate and prevent the build-up of static charges. PTFE Conductive Tubing (photo) is available with a conductive I.D. that conforms to AMS-H-27267 — having a minimum conductance of 10 – 20 micro-amps with 1,000 V-d.c. applied over a 14-in. length. Designed to eliminate static charges affecting combustible fluid transfer and to prevent the build-up of static charges that might damage sensitive electronic devices, it can be supplied a wide variety of configurations. Available in sizes from 1/8- to 4-in. I.D., Conductive Tubing can be supplied as smoothbore tubing, liners, and in convoluted and wire-wrapped convoluted styles. It provides anti-static properties to eliminate dust and other particulates, and offers increased wear- and UV-resistance. — Parker TexLoc, Fort Worth, Tex.www.parker.com
