The static charges in a conductive system are 1 million times lower than those in a non-conductive system. Read more.
Static electricity in biofuels
New biofuels may generate so much static electricity that safety margins in non-conductive systems are gone. Read more.
Non-conductive piping is the exception
In the fuel chain from well-to-wheel the filling station is the only place where non-conductive pipes are allowed to be used. Read more.
IEC recommendations
The IEC has issued clear recommendations for filling station piping. Read what precautions the world's most renowned experts recommend when non-conductive piping is used. Read more.
ATEX Directives
The EU has issued two directives that relate to explosive atmospheres: ATEX 95 and ATEX 137. Both are binding for the member states. Read more.
Incorrect conclusions of the Wolfson tests
The reports and certificates issued by Graham Hearn at Wolfson electrostatics have been quoted with vigor by opponents to conductive piping. Review shows that Hearn's conclusions have been incorrect. Read more.
Factual errors by UPP/Franklin
On their UPP web site Franklin Fueling has published documents about static electricity and piping that contain many severe factual errors. Read more.
Mixed systems are safer than non-conductive systems
Mixed systems exist beause of the introduction of non-conductive piping. The more conductive piping there is on a filling station, the safer it will be. Read more.
Suppliers of conductive piping
There are more suppliers of conductive piping than KPS. Many more have discovered a need on the market for conductive pipes and hoses. Read more.
KPS conductive sales
Contrary to what you may have heard from others, conductive piping now make up more than 95% of KPS's total pipe sales and very few markets still cling to non-conductive. Read more.
Basics about static electricity and filling station piping
