Grounding Clamps, Controls and Assemblies     

Wherever flammables are used, the accumulation of static charges on drums or containers can cause a dangerous spark. This spark can touch off instant fires or explosions. Proper grounding and bonding help eliminate the buildup of charges. Proper grounding or bonding starts with metal to metal contact for proper continuity. Stewart R. Browne offers a series of temporary, permanent and semi-permanent clamps to meet all applications.

A full range of C clamps and pipe clamps are used to provide semi-permanent connections. The EP series of C clamps are ideal for grounding or bonding drums and loading racks while the JR150 series of pipe clamps are ideal for connecting to water pipes.

The transferring of hazardous liquids can create an accumulation of static charges on safety cans. OSHA requires bonding and grounding on safety cans and safety cabinets containing hazardous liquids with a flashpoint below 140 F. We provide a variety of assemblies each including a 3 ft woven stainless steel cable which are flexible, spark-proof, durable and corrosion resistant. Length greater than 3 feet can be provided should the need arise. All clamps are REB2960 and can be substituted with 75 amp alligator clamps on request.

Personnel and Electronic Equipment

The personnel grounding clamp assemblies models 891 and 893 are designed to prevent static accumulation on workers. In the electronic industry, static charges can be detrimental in the production of circuit boards and computer chips. The use of grounding assemblies eliminates this static accumulation.

    * Model 891-12
    * Adjustable wrist strap with alligator clip and 12 ft cord

    * Model 893-6
    * Adjustable wrist strap with REB2960 clip and 6 ft cord

    * Model 893-12
    * Adjustable wrist strap with REB2960 clip and 12 ft cord

The GAT is a heavy duty aluminum pliar-type clamp for grounding tank cars and trucks. The clamp is equipped with 3 stainless steel points to assure proper grounding and strong grip contact to the vehicle. The model GAT-P is the same clamp as the GAT but equipped with a quick release mechanism. Should the vehicle be driven off before releasing the clamp, tension on the attached harness will force the clamp to release automatically. The model GAT-P-IP is a modified GAT-P clamp with isolated points for use on our model STS300G Positive Ground System or other ground indicating system.


    * GAT-P Aluminum Clamp
    * 3 Stainless Steel Points
    * Automatic Safety Release
    * Vehicular grounding
