Grounding for Solvent Handling Systems

[Machiavelli999]

I know that solvent handling systems have special requirements for bonding all tanks and pipes that handle the solvent to ground to avoid static electricity build up. However, I never knew what actually required this. I don't think it's in the NEC. Is it in some other publication?

I don't know if there is any special building code rule about this. It might be in a specification somewhere or an ISA type publication.

The thing is that if you are using metal pipe it may well be effectively bonded anyway.

Might want to check NFPA 77 Recommended Practice on Static Electricity.
