Criteria for Grounding Conductive Floors in Naval Hospitals and Ordnance Facilities

Abstract

An investigation of the criteria for grounding conductive floors in Naval hospitals and ordnance facilities has been completed. First, current publications concerned with conductive floor installations were reviewed. Then manufacturers of conductive flooring materials were contacted for the latest technical information available on grounding systems for conductive floors. Finally, a survey was made of existing grounding systems at selected Naval hospitals and ordnance facilities. From this information, design and installation criteria, acceptance testing procedures, and maintenance requirements for conductive flooring installations were developed.
