| Abstract |
This code of practice updates previous editions and was adopted as American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 77 on 30 Mar. 1978. Definitions are followed by chapters devoted to: generation and accumulation of static energy; dissipation of static electricity (bonding and grounding, humidification, ionisation); control of ignitable mixtures by inerting, ventilation or relocation; flammable and combustible liquids (free charges on surface of liquid; storage tanks; rubber-tyred vehicles; aircraft, tank cars, tankers and barges; container filling; blending and mixing operations); gases (compressed air; carbon dioxide, hydrogen-air, acetylene-air mixtures; LP-gases); dusts and fibres (parameters affecting charge generation, energy available in static discharge); industrial and commercial processes and equipment (coating, spreading, and impregnating; transmission machinery; dry cleaning; printing and lithography; spray finishing; steam jets); static detectors. Appendix: glossary of terms. |
