While most static issues in the converting industry involve solving static problems, in other industrial applications, static charge plays an important and beneficial role.

Static Jargon and Standards
- Published: January 27, 2011
As with may technical areas, static has jargon that can be a barrier to understanding. A good place to start is NFPA 77, Recommended Practice on Static Electricity. There are many US and international standards on static electricity. There are many are overlapping standards and they are not alway consistent. Still, there is a common thread of understanding that is important to follow … it is just that the common thread can easily be lost in the forest of standards!

Fieldmeter or Voltmeter?
- Published: December 24, 2009
I received an interesting email question. What is the difference between an electrostatic fieldmeter and a non-contacting electrostatic voltmeter? And, if I had to pick either one or the other, which one is more useful for solving static problems?
How Much Static?
- Published: December 18, 2009
Static is only one of many challenges in commercializing new products and in running production processes. How can we organize our information and prioritize our work so that each issue gets the attention it deserves, and no more? Analysis tools to drive data driven decisions and project prioritization concepts that have proven so valuable in managing operations should also be applied to static issues. To move ahead with on this, we need to establish a performance baseline that is acceptable, and identify maximum levels of static that are satisfactory.

Welcome to the world of STATIC!
- Published: July 29, 2009
Thank-you for visiting ‘Kelly on Static.’ Here, I will share some fundamental concepts of static electricity, apply these concepts to real-world roll-to-roll manufacturing operations, and answer questions on electrostatic theories and applications. I’ll be sharing my thoughts on how webs become charged, how static charge causes problems, and how to dissipate charge to prevent problems.
