Static Measuring Equipment for Static Electricity Levels and Polarities

If you’re dealing with static electricity, it’s usually necessary to know how high this charge is and its polarity with the help of effecient static measuring equipment. Measuring instruments can help make the invisible phenomenon of “static electricity” visible.

How to measure static electricity and when is it useful?

• For locating static charges.
• After a neutralization system to measure effectiveness or to actively control ionization.
• As quality control to provide assurance to your customer.
• As a check following static charging equipment.

Measuring levels of static electricity may be necessary to determine if there are issues related to static electricity. Often, undesirable phenomena such as sticking materials or the rejection of finished products occur due to various production contexts and environments.

The real cause of these unwanted issues may not be visible, hence the need to measure levels of static electricity. This can be done with a static meter both in-line inside the machine or via a handheld device.

Measuring levels of static electricity with a static meter provides insight into both the amount of static electricity (kV) and the polarity of the static charge. This knowledge is fundamental to finding a solution to the problem.

Simco-Ion offers, among others, two options for measuring static electricity in kV.

• Handheld, battery-powered static meter – FMX-004
• In-line machine configuration, IQ Sensor Bar (EX)
• High voltage detection – TensION
