New Industry ESD Standards Expose Need for Safer, Less Conductive Carpet Tile - ITRS
Factory Integration(doc file)
Device technology improvements assure that static charge problems will get worse - Managing Static
Static is the invisible threat to call centers. Learn how to manage it in this highly sensitive setting. - Inappropriate Use of VSDs
If you don't pay sufficient attention to motor and impeller details before you decide to invest in VSDs, you could be pumping up your costs and draining your efficiency. See how a careful evaluation and new system curve put one data center on track for a leaner budget. - Static Control Flooring in the Networked Office Enviroment
Today's modern office would have been a called a computer room years ago. The technology is extremely sensitive to static. Fortunately, many ESD flooring options are now available for the high tech office environment. - Facts about Kv static generation ratings of anti-static and ESD carpet
Confused about the difference between static generation and ohms of electrical resistance? Here's a good place to start. - ESD Flooring Sensitivity
Regular antistatic carpets suppress static so you won't get a shock. To protect today's high speed computer equipment, static charges must be removed. - Procedures For The Design, Analysis And Auditing Of Static Control Flooring/Footwear Systems
It is the purpose of this paper to show that the electrostatic performance of footwear/flooring systems, defined as the electrostatic potential of personnel arising out of the use of these systems, can be predicted with adequate precision based on component resistance data alone, and further to present resistance testing methodologies which are at once more relevant and more reproducible than most in common usage today. - Why Most Static Programs Fail
A well-designed, comprehensive, fully realized program is a must for manufacturers serious about ESD control. - N+1 Protection for Mission Critical Applications
You manage a networked office environment. One day, without warning, your system crashes, the result of a random static discharge. When the computers are finally operational again, you discover your data is gone. - ESD Floors: Taking Charge of ESD on the Manufacturing Floor
Control of ESD is an important part of the manufacturing process for any electronics company, but prevention of static is considered by many to be an even more effective method to protect products from ESD damage. Tellabs Operations, a manufacturer of telecommunications products, advocates static prevention. - Can ESD tile be installed over old vinyl tile? Vinyl floor removal
Most project managers lose sleep just thinking about floor preparation. And no wonder: Since you can't see what's under the existing floor, you never know the full extent of what needs to be done until the old floor has been removed. - ESD Floors 101 for Beginners
As static-sensitive electronic components grow more sophisticated, so do consumers of ESD flooring. Here are some key points to consider when helping your clients choose ESD/antistatic flooring and tile for labs, hospitals, electronics manufacturing and mission-critical spaces. - ESD Standards Discussed
According to the recommendations of ANSI/ESD S20.20, it is acceptable to install a floor with a resistance to ground (RTG) that is ≤1.0 X10E9. But, to comply with ESD standards, the floor must not allow body voltage generation over 100V. - Cleanroom ESD Flooring Installation
Options for installing ESD flooring in an existing operational facility with minimal impact on contamination and production Many facility planners, concerned about contamination or potential scheduling delays, once dismissed the thought of installing electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe tile in operational clean spaces. - Economics of Phasing out PVC
PVC aka poly-vinyl-chloride is the major compound in ESD vinyl tile. Most environmentalists consider PVC an eco-nightmare. This study, conducted by Tufts University in Maachusetts, comprehensively examines PVC and the potential replacement materials like rubber. - Digital Future Report
Published by The University of Southern California, this article explains where we fit and where we are going from the perspective of the "Digital Age". - Electrostatic Discharge Interference in the Clinical Environment
The ever-increasing concentration of microprocessor-controlled clinical instrumentation elevates the need to control environmental electromagnetic (EM) noise.
