Electrostatic Charge Dissipation Testing
topic
Electrostatic testing measures surface resistivity, charge decay half-life, and triboelectric charge generation of antistatic fabric specimens using electrode arrays and Faraday cage charge measurement; body voltage simulation tests measure the peak voltage generated on a manikin during simulated walking movements in controlled humidity.
Role
Ensures antistatic and electrostatic dissipative workwear prevents ignition of flammable atmospheres in chemical, petroleum, and explosive manufacturing environments, providing the resistance and charge parameters required by EN 1149 and ATEX zone classification standards.
