Conductive Bags Type C

About Type C:

Type C FIBC are made from conductive fabric or plastic sheet, or interwoven with conductive threads or filaments and designed to prevent the occurrence of incendiary sparks, brush discharges and propagating brush discharges. Type C FIBC are designed to be connected to earth during filling and emptying operations.

Common Uses:

A type C FIBC intended for use in the presence of flammable vapours or gases, or combustible dusts with ignition energies of 3 mJ or less shall have a resistance to any groundable point of less than 1.0×107Ω.

Additionally the FIBC shall be constructed entirely from conductive material or at least shall contain inter-connected conductive threads or tapes with a maximum spacing  of 20 mm if the threads or tapes are in a stripe pattern, or 50mm if they are in a grid pattern.
