Dieses Buch, geschrieben von Autoren mit langjähriger Forschungs- und Beratungserfahrung, bietet den Leserinnen und Lesern einen Überblick über Gefahren - und Nutzen - statischer Elektrizität im industriellen Umfeld. Nach einer Diskussion der Grundlagen zum Verständnis insbesondere von Zündungen infolge elektrostatischer Entladungen untersucht das Buch die Ursachen derartiger Entladungen in der Industrie, wie sie etwa beim Transport von Schüttgütern, Flüssigkeiten oder Kunststoffbahnen auftreten. Der größte Teil des Buches behandelt die Messung statischer Elektrizität, die Vermeidung unerwünschter Entladungen und Gefahrenabwehr unter verschiedenen Bedingungen. Fallstudien aus der Praxis untermauern die Darlegungen, und zusätzliche Videos, erhältlich unter www.wiley-vch.de/ISBN9783527341283, illustrieren die teils drastischen Effekte statischer Entladungen. Die Interessenten: - Studenten aller Fachrichtungen, in denen Elektrostatik zu beachten ist - Konstrukteure und Betreiber von Anlagen im Bereich der Chemie und der Mineralölverarbeitung - Hersteller und Anwender von Kunststoffen - Alle, die mit empfindlichen elektronischen Geräten umgehen - Präsumtive Erfinder, die elektrostatische Möglichkeiten nutzen wollen - Lehrkräfte an Schulen und Hochschulen - Prüfstellen, aufsichtsführende Behörden, Berufsgenossenschaften, Sachversicherer

Excerpt from Elements of Static Electricity: With Full Description of the Holtz and Töpler Machines and Their Mode of Operating In this treatise the principles of electricity are presented untrammeled, as far as possible, by mathematical formulæ, so as to meet the requirements of a large class who have not the time or opportunity to master the intricacies of formulæ, which are usually so perplexing to all but expert mathematicians. This class includes those whose knowledge of electricity is limited to the practical details of telegraphy, telephony, and electric lighting; also those among the liberally educated, who desire to review electric science in the light of recent investigation; and those who wish to study its elementary principles, preparatory to a more extended course, which shall embrace all the details of electric measurement arid electric engineering.
