Handling dry products in flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) can produce electrostatic discharges, which in a flammable atmosphere can result in an explosion. This laboratory offers testing of FIBC containers and liners to determine surface resistivity, volume resistivity, brush discharge, and fabric charge relaxation times. Explosion chambers are used to determine an FIBC’s effectiveness in hydrocarbon/air environments. The facility has climate-control capabilities with a temperature range of 40–140°F and humidity range of 0–99% RH.
