Original title Taidenbōshi biniru fūkan no keinen henka [in Japanese]
Bibliographic information May 1989, Vol.35, No.5, p.3-6. Illus. 5 ref.
Abstract The antistatic characteristics of carbon-printed ventilation tubes used for over 4yr in five coal mines were determined. There were some changes in appearance of the tubes tested due to the long duration of use: (1) hardening of the cloth part of the tubes; (2) disappearance of a part of the carbon printed on the inner surface of the tubes, etc. On the other hand, there was no change in the antistatic properties of the tubes used for over 4yr.
