This film demonstrates how static charges are built up between solids and liquids, and liquids and liquids--and how bulk tank fires/explosions can be minimized through grounding and anti-static additives. film also shows dramatic increases in built-up charges when water is introduced into petroleum products which are bing pumped or ciruclated. Primary value of film would be in showing c.1950 experimentation in understanding how charges are built up in vessels and the collary protection that is warranted.
