AEMC® - Static Ground and Test Kit (3640 Discontinued Replaced by 6424)

Introducing the AEMC Static Ground and Test Kit
One spark - that’s all it takes to turn a fuel tanker spill into a fiery disaster. To minimize the risk of electrostatic discharge during the offloading of hazardous liquid from a disabled truck, standards such as NFPA 472 mandate that first responders set up, and bond the tankers to, a temporary grounding system to serve as an equipotential plain between the vehicles and all pumping equipment.
To help make this process as safe and easy as possible, AEMC has introduced the Static Ground and Test Kit. This portable system contains all the necessary equipment for creating and testing a temporary grounding system for the transfer of hazardous materials, including a test instrument and accessories to ensure the system is fully functional and in compliance with relevant standards.
This video explains how to use the Static Ground and Test Kit. We begin by describing the kit’s components. We then demonstrate how to use the kit to set up a temporary grounding system, and then test this system to ensure it provides the grounding performance required for your location. Finally, we show how to connect the grounding system to the damaged and receiving tankers and other equipment.
