How to Choose Anti Static Carpet Tile for 911 Call Centers and FAA Applications
By
Static dissipative carpet tile is preferred over static conductive carpet tile for installations in end user mission critical environments like call centers and dispatch areas. Grounding standards like Motorola R56, FAA STD 019e and ATIS 0600321 require a carpet’s resistance to exceed 1.0 X 10 E6 or 1 million ohms. We generically call this acceptable type of carpet “operational grade carpet” due its suitability for use around operational or energized electronic equipment. Conductive carpet is viewed as unsafe for these operational equipment environments because conductive carpeting could increase the risk of an electrical hazard. A conductive carpet tile is easily recognized due to its unique black colored carbon loaded backing. It is generally described as having a resistance to ground range between 2.5 X 10E4 (25000) and 1.0 X 10 E8 ohms. 2.5 X 10 E4 is 100 times more conductive than most end user grounding standards allow.
