Demystify:
I have to jump on this one (smiling)...
I would tend to think that NFPA would
be the first stop for guidance.
In my lab, we ALWAYS had our metal cans
grounded.
But make sure that the source itself is
also grounded. A volt meter should tell you if you can ground effectively.
Also, if there is any oxidation at the
posts or cable connections, have these cleared off (a razor blade works
sometimes) as you need a clean connection.
Best!

Hi ,
I am looking for guidance on the appropriate
method for grounding and bonding metal solvent containers such as 55 gallon
drums or 5 gallon cans?
Thanks
Keane
