Abstract: The phenomenon which we call static electricity has been observed, studied, reported on and often misunderstood, since 600 B.C. It is considered by most people to be a nuisance which causes shocks, unruly hair, clinging clothes and other annoyances. To those of us in the gas industry, static electricity is also recognized as a potential ignition source and hence a potential hazard. Plastic pipe, with its excellent electrical insulating properties, when exposed to the high velocity flow of natural gas, can cause a very large static charge build up. A purpose of this paper is to identify ihe problem of static electricity with plastic pipe and to present current gas industry methods for dealing with the problem.
