Abstract

With 3 examples (silo filling and assessment of occurrence of cone discharges, calculation of capacitances of screws and flanges for assessment of earthing and bonding requirements and assessment of requirements for plastic hoses with a metal spiral for pneumatic transfer of powders) the usefulness and benefit of model calculations of electrostatic phenomena for the assessment of electrostatic ignition hazards is demonstrated.
