The new Newson Gale Truck Mounted Static Ground Verification System is here
Newson Gale has released the new Earth-Rite Mobile Ground Verification System (MGV). The Earth-Rite MGV is a unique technology
that allows for confirmation of a positive ground connection for vehicles collecting and transferring combustible products. The MGV system performs two checks which ensure the vehicle can safely dissipate static electricity throughout the transfer process.
- Static Ground Verification: Ensures that the object identified as the ground source has a low enough resistance to safely dissipate static electricity.
- Continuous Ground Loop Monitoring: After the static ground source is confirmed, the system continually monitors the resistance of the truck to ground. The resistance must be at or lower than 10 ohms (in accordance with API RP 2219) throughout the transfer process.
The Earth-Rite MGV also features 2 output contacts that can be interlocked to a pump or another piece of control equipment in order to prevent operation if a positive static ground connection has not been made prior to the process, or is compromised during the transfer process.
The Earth-Rite MGV is Certified Intrinsically Safe for use in global petroleum markets by IECEX, ATEX, CSA/US, and NEPSI.
