  • Specialty Anti-Static Materials
    Anti-Static Filtration Fabrics 16oz Polyester felt with Stainless Steel Scrim Statistical data regarding industrial accidents point out that 1 out of every 10 explosions is due to static electricity. In dust collectors, the electrostatic load can grow both on filter media and on the dust cake, and it is facilitated by low moisture levels, high temperatures, high contact velocities and small particles. Materials like wood powder, grains, sugar, aluminum, magnesium, fiberglass & carbon fiber could generate explosive conditions: particularly if particle dimensions and other characteristics meet the criteria established in the CEI 31-5-6 classification. Main • Temperature limit for gas stream 275°/135° C Characteristics: • Metallic fibers: mainly made from very fine stainless steel • Guaranteed high level of conductivity & antistatic properties • Resistance is generally lower than 10³ ohm • Excellent dust cake release of static charged dust • Available with singed and PTFE Membrane finish End Uses: Antistatic filter media are used in a wide range of industrial, chemical, metallurgical, mineral and agricultural applications where the dust and process tend to build static and where a potential ignition source is present Sugar Grains Wood Dust American Fabric Filter Co.

  • Identifying Woven Textiles 1750-1950 Identification
    Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 DATS in partnership with the V&A 1 Identifying Woven Textiles 1750–1950 This information pack has been produced to accompany two one-day workshops taught by Katy Wigley (Director, School of Textiles) and Mary Schoeser (Hon. V&A Senior Research Fellow), held at the V&A Clothworkers’ Centre on 19 April and 17 May 2018. The workshops are produced in collaboration between DATS and the V&A. The purpose of the workshops is to enable participants to improve the documentation and interpretation of collections and make them accessible to the widest audience. Participants will have the chance to study objects at first hand to help increase their confidence in identifying woven textile materials and techniques. This information pack is intended as a means of sharing the knowledge communicated in the workshops with colleagues and the wider public and is also intended as a stand-alone guide for basic weave identification.
