According to relevant regulations, electrostatic grounding measures should be taken for equipment and pipelines that may generate electrostatic risks in explosion and fire hazardous locations. The storage facilities for combustible gas, liquefied hydrocarbon, combustible liquid and combustible solid should also be equipped with electrostatic grounding facilities. The accumulation of static charges on the container for storing flammable liquids and the human body is the origin of static sparks. Static sparks may cause flammable liquids to deflagrate during the storage, transmission or distribution of flammable liquids. Therefore, in accordance with OSHA's standards and safety practices for flammable liquids, when flammable liquids are transferred from drums to containers, as well as the safety cabinets that store flammable liquids, the standing grounding device must be connected to the drum through an anti-static grounding wire clamp. And the safety cabinet is reliably grounded, and the static charge is led into the ground to prevent fire accidents caused by static sparks.
