Although the air powered diaphragm pump eliminates ignition from electrical motors and internal combustion engines when pushing flammable fluids there is still the possibility of static electrical charge build up on the outside of the unit. The pump now provides a solution through the use of conductive thermoplastic compounds in combination with proper grounding techniques. Conductivity of the outside wetted parts is gained through the blending of micro filaments of stainless steel within the thermoplastic. The volume resistance from any metallic clamp or fastener to the grounding lug (provided on the band clamp) on the diaphragm pump has been factory tested to be less than 1000 Ohms.
