NEWSON GALE, Mobile Grounding Solutions - OhmGuard
Intrinsically Safe Hose Continuity Tester

The OhmGuard electrical continuity tester is designed to test hoses used on vacuum trucks, road tankers and plant equipment prior to the transfer of flammable or combustible products. It can also be used as an effective method of checking static bonding assemblies and conductors relative to verified grounding points.

The OhmGuard indicates if the resistance through the metal components of hoses (e.g. internal wire helixes, metal couplings) are below specified resistance thresholds.

The OhmGuard is easy to operate however operator training is essential and is the responsibility of the customer / end user facility.

Applications:
• Testing vacuum truck hoses prior to spill cleanup or material recovery operations
• Testing bulk road tanker hoses prior to the delivery of flammable products (e.g. solvents) to storagetank farms
• General resistance testing of chemical and petrochemically compatible hoses
• Spot testing of bonding assemblies and conductors in the field

OhmGuard Benefits:
• Proves the hoses have good electrical continuity with the grounded truck
• Ensures potentially isolated components of plant equipment are identified and remedied
• One time test with visual GO / NO GO indication
• Enables early detection of faults without the need to wait for scheduled periodic testing
• Easy to operate. Drivers and operators do not need electrical training
• Intrinsically Safe certification for EX / HAZLOC requirements
• Lower cost than equivalent EX / HAZLOC approved multimeters
• Robust Stainless Steel construction and more robust than multimeters in the field
• Tungsten carbide teeth help penetrate any slurries or deposits caked onto the hose end fitting
