Resistance Variables
It’s a well-known fact that a floor’s resistance can measure completely differently on a bare concrete substrate or a raised access panel than that same floor system measures when tested in a qualification lab. Let’s face it: lab testing a floor you’re evaluating, based on standard test methods, is the bare minimum. You need to know what’s going on in your own space: for example, your concrete could be making your tiles more conductive due to vapor emissions.
You need to know if your raised access panels are providing a high-resistance ground connection and, as a result, your conductive floor is actually a static-dissipative floor. Or vice versa: the static-dissipative floor you specified is integrated into a grounding system that reads in the dissipative range, but under high-voltage equipment becomes highly conductive.
The Solution Is Easy
StaticWorx will help you perform simple tests, based on industry standards (STM). The tests will enable you to confirm that the floor you got is the floor you expected. The only cost to you is the cost of shipping some lightweight meters. We’ll provide the meters. We’ll provide on the spot – or Zoom – instructions and oversight. All you need to do is take us up on this offer.
Why Groundsafe®?
There’s an old myth in the electrical world: electricity flows to ground through the path of least resistance. In fact, electricity flows to ground through all paths regardless of the resistance of each path.
Using our easy-to-operate equipment, following our GroundSafe® instructions, you will be able to check all of those other grounds – with live instructions from the StaticWorx technical team.
Bullet Cutter
For professionals as well as DIY installers
We now offer a professional-grade bullet cutter you can borrow to cut your tiles to size during your installation. Like our ESD test equipment, the bullet cutter loaner is free of charge.
All you pay for is shipping, to and from your installation site.
What Clients are Saying
…the floor is awesome! It’s very durable and it’s very convenient that we can lift tiles up to remove debris from underneath, and even replace tiles if they are damaged. So from a functional perspective, this is the best floor for our manufacturing operation.
You would never know it was ESD, WHICH IS AMAZING! Your product rocks and I’m so glad we were able to find an attractive solution that didn’t leave us with some run-of-the-mill ugly disaster in the middle of our workspaces!
Your product is impervious to most/all conditions. It’s impressive. Happy to be working with StaticWorx.
