The dictionary explains around 2,300 electrostatic terms with 340 illustrations and approximately 5,400 cross-references. These cross-references to facts, standards, and 270 references provide a basic understanding of electrostatic phenomena.The encyclopedia lists the evaluation criteria and metrological possibilities, methods, devices and systems and their applications. It also covers electrostatic charges as a cause of fires and explosions in many areas of industry, as well as environmental phenomena. You will also find the most important mathematical formulas, 170 data on flammable gases and vapors with details of CAS number up to their LEL/UEL, ignition temperature and conductivities, as well as data on about 50 common plastics. A table of permittivities of commonly used materials completes the encyclopedia.
