DRI LIGHTING® Product Information

Think Safety First

The first patented Dry Bucket Liner Testing Kit

The DRI LIGHTNING® method utilizes a proprietary conductive material best described as inner and outer conductive socks that completely and safely provide a conductive surface. The “sock” sits six (6) inches from the top, inside and outside the bucket liner allowing for safe and accurate testing with the use of AC or DC for Dielectric strength of the liners. This is the most effective and safe process to date. The advantage of this method for maintenance and periodic testing is that it can be done in the field or in a controlled environment without any liquid. Experience shows that you can complete six (6) Dri Lightning® liner tests in the same amount of time it takes to fill the portable tank.

HKH Dielectric, LLC, with its attention to aerial lift bucket truck liners, is using our DRI LIGHTNING® products to bring attention to cost savings, added safety and environmental issues that are addressed with the use of our patented dry process.   The initial cost of a Dri Lightning® kit will pay for itself inside of the first year of use (if you do several tests per month).  Our conductive cloth sock sets will fit all standard size aerial bucket liners; single, double, with or without a step.   Each conductive sock set overlaps sizes and we can find one to fit your bucket liner.  They are adjustable.

COMPARE OURS TO THE ANEQUATED PROCESS CURRENTLY BEING USED

COMPARISON:  A typical water tank is 5’x 5’x 4’ and takes 600 - 650 gallons of water which weighs over 40,000 lbs at 50°F.  Just one of these tanks uses enough water to supply a family for a day and a half. [1] Storage and transporting is bulky.  Need a water hose, ladder and something to hang the leads into the liner sitting in the tank.

Dri Lightning

Dri Lightning’s® conductive sock sets get refolded.  Once the rods, couplings and hub assembly are dismantled it can all be stored and carried in a duffel bag, allowing testing in the field.  The use of other substances for testing allows for gaps in testing, thus never completely giving you a true picture of the liners safety.

CONCLUSIONS:  We can save testing companies and liner owners money each year in travel and man hours as well as contributing to the conservation of water and eliminating the disposal of that water with industrial residue from the liners into the ground or sewage system.  Using a Dri Lightning’s® conductive sock set allows you the flexibility to do a dielectric field test in a quarter less time than it takes to set up the tank and fill it.  Not to mention the possibility of having to transport water to the site.  Disposal of that much water can cause all kinds of problems and in some areas the township and the EPA may have a problem with where all that “gray” water goes.  The removal of the use of water in the process with and near electricity is an additional safety feature provided by the Dri Lightning® process and their conductive socks.  Industry standards; ANSI/OSHA A92.2.8.2.2requires (along with manufacturer recommendations) that all bucket liners should be tested at least once a year for safety and more depending on use.
