Anti-Static Windsocks for Explosive Atmospheres
In oil, gas and petrochemical facilities, any equipment near classified hazardous areas must be assessed for electrostatic charge risk. Our Anti-Static Windsock range incorporates carbon fibre conductive thread throughout the fabric - providing continuous static dissipation and eliminating the risk of charge accumulation.
- ✓ Carbon fibre conductive thread woven through the entire fabric
- ✓ No metal spindle - completely spark-free in operation
- ✓ Compliant with AS/NZS 1171 for electrostatic discharge in hazardous areas
- ✓ Suitable for Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified areas
- ✓ Available in standard and high-visibility orange colourways
- ✓ 100% Australian made in Perth, WA
OIL GAS APPLICATIONS
Oil & Gas Applications We Supply
From massive LNG export terminals to compact gas compression stations - we supply HSSE-compliant Windsock assemblies across the full oil and gas value chain.
LNG Facilities & Export Terminals
Large LNG facilities require multiple Windsock assemblies across process areas, muster points and loading arms. Anti-static specification throughout classified zones.
View Case Studies ›Refinery & Tank Farm Operations
Fuel storage and refinery environments require careful assessment of each Windsock location. We supply both anti-static and standard assemblies matched to zone classifications.
Get a Quote ›Gas Compression & Processing Stations
Remote and semi-remote compression stations in the gas pipeline network. Heavy-duty assemblies with counter-weighted Poles for minimal-maintenance operation.
Contact Our Team ›Wind Direction at Emergency Muster Points
In an emergency, personnel at muster points need to know the current wind direction to understand whether they are upwind or downwind of a release. Windsock assemblies at muster points give an immediate, intuitive reading that requires no equipment or training to interpret.
- ✓ Immediately visible from muster point locations - no equipment needed
- ✓ Structure-mounted assemblies for elevated, unobstructed placement
- ✓ Large format Windsocks (3000-3650mm) for maximum visibility at distance
- ✓ Anti-static specification where required by zone classification
- ✓ Low maintenance - sealed bearings, Stainless Steel hardware
Structure-Mounted Assemblies for Elevated Positioning
Oil and gas facilities often have limited ground space due to process equipment, pipework and civil constraints. Structure-mounted Windsock assemblies allow elevated positioning on existing structures - giving unobstructed wind readings above surrounding equipment.
- ✓ Mounts to any structural member - beams, gantries, existing pipe racks
- ✓ Swivelling pivot frame ensures Windsock always streams freely
- ✓ Available in anti-static specification for classified areas
- ✓ 304 Stainless Steel construction - suitable for plant environments
- ✓ No ground penetration required - ideal for areas with underground services
