Abstract
We present a new device for evaluating the efficiency of antistatic
floors. To evaluate their antistatic effects, we generally use two
methods up to the present. One is the measurement of electrical resistance
and the other is the measurement of triboelectrification. However,
with the progress of technologies of the antistatic floors and floor
coverings, the methods have not been always suitable for evaluating
correctly their antistatic effects. We, therefore, developed a new
device to evaluate quantitatively the antistatic effects. The device
consists of motor-controlled rollers for rubbing on floor and instruments
for measuring its triboelectrification and charge decay time. Experiments
with many kinds of floor coverings were carried out to examine the
performance of the device. The experimental results showed that it
could evaluate the effects truly. In this paper we describe a method
using the new device for evaluating any antistatic effect as well
as its specifications and application.
