Articles on ATEX, earthing and electrostatic safety
We write about the topics where good answers are hard to find — ohm measurement on hoses and accessories, what EN 17348:2022 actually requires, and how technical regulation translates into safe operation in practice.
Abrasion Resistance in PU Hoses
Polyurethane hoses last 2.5–5 times longer than rubber and 3–4 times longer than soft PVC under abrasive loads. But there is polyurethane, and then there is polyurethane — and the difference shows up in 56 days.
The Invisible Weakest Link
A certified ATEX vacuum cleaner is only as safe as the accessories connected to it. This article is about the failures that happen every day, which nobody can see, but anyone can measure.
Know your Ohm
Electrical resistance determines whether static charge dissipates safely to ground or builds up until a spark ignites. A practical guide to ohm values, measurement methods and the mistakes we see time and again.
