Static Electric and your powed measure
Quote from Reloader on February 17, 2008, 6:02 pmI have noticed that when I empty my power back into the power can that static holds some of the power in the power measure. I was told to use dryer sheets and rub the measure to remove the static. This did some good.
I have found that if you ground your press and bond your power measure that this will remove the static. Use a bonding strap from the press to the measure when puting the power back into the container. Make the strap about three feet long. If you have carpet on the floor, Place a antistatic pad in front of your press. This can be found at your local computer store. My fear as been that a spark near the power measure could happen. To my knowledge this has never happened.

Materials that are non conductors? Glass is a insulator or nonconductor while plastic is as I recall. So my solution would call for a revision of materials used to be changed from a plastic powder measure tube to a GLASS POWDER MEASURE TUBE. Yes it is a breakable material but this machine is being ran in a controlled environment and should fair well under normal operating conditions.
