Generally for ESD testing, conductive materials (1.0 x 104 ohms to

We actually use a turnstyle that you'd see in a subway terminal, connected to an ESD Tester. All operators must pass through this turnstyle everytime they step out onto the production floor. If they don't pass the ESD Test, the turnstyle will not all

Won't there be ESD & inspection problems with Martins dispensed all over the board? we only have 1 Martin here and he would fail an ESD test and a cleanliness test. Also he's considerably bigger than any board we make.

If you decide on an epoxy floor, make sure you use a contractor that is experienced with installing ESD epoxy floors. The epoxy needs to be continuously mixed to keep the media consistent throughout. We had a contractor who failed to do that, and wh

I understand your point, and generally agree with you about no lotions in the production area. My question for you and the others is what to do with the person whose skin is so dry it does not make good contact with their ESD wristband? I do not li

Thanks for the help but I do have another question. First I guess that just the touching of the smock to the skin is anough to give the charge on the person a path to the smock. OK I can accept that if button up at the breast and sleeves. Now I kno

Bill, Likely the latex isn't conductive, so charges will not be dissipated to the metal rack. Whether that constitutes an ESD risk or not will depend on the generative properties of the latex. I've never tested units inside my wash, so I can't spe
