Throughout Russia, from Sochi to Vladivostok, tanker grounding devices (UZA) are mandatory at gas stations. Fire safety rules require this, for non-compliance with which supervisory authorities impose large fines.
What is a bond?
The grounding device of tankers is a device that eliminates the occurrence of sparks when working with flammable substances. In the process of filling or draining any combustible oil products or liquefied gases, there is a risk of the formation of a static electric charge. After all, fuel, flowing under high pressure through a hose to or from a tank truck, creates the effect of friction of surfaces. The result, as is known from the school physics course, is the formation of a static charge. And this is fraught with the appearance of a spark, which can lead to fire and even explosion. The grounding device of tankers provides resistance control in the grounding circuit and guarantees the discharge of static charge.
The principle of operation of the device
The principle of operation of the device is simple. The grounding devices for tank trucks are connected via a conductor to a tank installed on the trailer of an approaching car. Clips from a special antistatic material are firmly fixed so that during the operation there is no accidental disconnection of the fasteners. When turned on, the device will notify the employee of the presence or absence of circuit resistance. The signal can be supplied both by light - by switching on the LEDs, and by sound.
Which UZA modification to choose, is decided by the owner of the gas station. At the same time, he is guided by the technical equipment of the gas station or gas station, as well as the features of the operation of the facility.
All are made strictly according to GOST standards. They are necessarily equipped with both an explosion-proof shell and a device that controls the intrinsic safety of the circuit.
Universal kit UZA 4A
The grounding device of tankers UZA 4A does not require a constant power source. It runs on batteries that can be charged from the mains using the included adapter.
Grounding device for tank trucks UZA 4A Is a kit including:
- BZS. This is a unit that combines the functions of signaling and grounding control of the unit.
- Battery pack and charger for it.
- A kit that allows the use of UZA including the owners of tankers.
This is one of the most practical models that are in demand among consumers. After all It can be used not only at gas stations, but also directly by vehicle owners. The truck owner’s kit includes a special key that allows you to connect to the BZS, a clamp and a grounding conductor.
Of course, high-quality ultrasound from a reliable manufacturer can not be attributed to cheap. But is it worth saving on security? By acquiring a poor-quality ultrasound test, the owner of a gas station risks losing property. And this is in the best case - after all, human sacrifices are possible. The price of the grounding device for tank trucks is much lower than the possible losses that a fire will entail. It is even lower than the total amount of several fines for violating TB. Do not risk your property and people's lives. Reliable UZA, such as 4A or 4K, guarantee the security of your business.
