No. The electric current must be able to pass through, so if the insole is made of a material that is non-conductive it defeats the purpose.

What does the term static mean when referring to static electricity?

The term "Static electricity" has several different meanings:1. A field of science also known as "electrostatics"2. Electrical phenomena involving high voltage at low or zero current.3. Any Electric charge4. An imbalance of electric charge occurring on the surface of objects5. Charge-imbalances created by contact between dissimilar insulatorsWhat is static electricity? Well, in order to answer this question, first you have to pick which one you mean.ANSWER 1"Electrostatics" is a field of science where we study electric charge, electric fields, and the electric part of the electromagnetic force. Under this definition, "Static electricity" is a science like biology or chemistry, and we find static electricity inside textbooks and classrooms. Note that Static Electricity is not the study of unmoving charges, since flowing charges still involve e-fields and forces. And a frozen snapshot of electric current is certainly an electrostatic situation.ANSWER 2"Static electricity" is a group of electrical events which humans have grouped together. It's a "phenomena class" rather than a substance or energy. Whenever high voltage is involved, we will expect to see electrostatic attraction and repulsion as well as sparking. The attraction and repulsion are electrostatic phenomena, so they are the static electricity. Is this confusing? Analogy: in the same way that rocks and floods and volcanos are "geology," lightning bolts, fur-rubbed plastic, and attracted lint are "static electricity." So if we break open a rock, we won't find any geology inside, since the rocks ARE geology. In the same way, lightning bolts don't have any static electricity inside. Scuffing your shoes on the rug IS the static electricity. There are no divisions in nature between different kinds of events, so in the same way that humans have created the idea called "geology," humans created "static electricity."ANSWER 3Historically in science, the term "electricity" was used to mean "any electric charge." In later decades after electrical currents were discovered, scientists added the word "static" to differentiate between charge versus charge-flow.ANSWER 4If a metal conductor is connected to a source of high voltage, then the surface of that conductor aquires a region of strong charge-imbalance. This imbalance is often called "static electricity," although a better name for it would be "surface charge" or simply "charge."ANSWER 5There are several ways to create imbalances of charge: batteries, generators, and contact between dissimilar insulators. Traditionally we call the charges produced by batteries and generators by the name "charge." But also traditionally we call the surface charges produced by contact (or by 'friction,') by the name "static electricity." Note the imbalances created by contact are not different than those created by high-voltage power supplies. Charge is charge. Michael Faraday discovered this fact in 1832.MYTHSOur understanding of simple electrical science is hindered by widespread myths, some of which appear in children's science books. Here's one myth: "There are only two kinds of electricity, 'Static' and 'Current.'" This statement is wrong. It's probably a corruption of Electrodynamics science versus Electrostatics science. While there certainly are two fields of Electrical Science involving Statics and Dynamics, there is no such substance or energy called "static electricity." Another myth: "When electricity stops moving and becomes static, then it makes hair rise, causes sparks, ozone stink, and crackling sounds." Wrong. When charges exist at HIGH VOLTAGE, then we see sparks and rising hair, etc. Crackling sounds and ozone stinks are caused by charges existing at high voltage, not by charges which have stopped moving.AnswerSimply put, static electricity is a "flavor" of contact electrification. It is usually tucked into a phenomenon called triboelectric effect, which is the primary cause of most of it. Let's have just a quick look. Anyone who has pulled some kitchen plastic wrap off the roll has participated in an experiment with contact electrification. The simple act of separating the plastic from the roll causes electrons to move. It gives them enough energy to do so, and they are "redistributed" across the plastic. The plastic is an insulator, and it will not permit these separated charges to return to where they came from. And those electrons now attract the "positive places" where they came from. That's why the plastic wants to "fold up" on itself. It's just that simple.Shuffling across the rug on an arid day and reaching for the door knob sometimes gives us a jolt. We've again shifted some charges with the friction of our feet, and those charges want to neutralize themselves when we get near that knob. There are a few thousand volts there, by the way. Really. Not much current, but lots of volts. How else could the air atoms and molecules be ionized to create the arc that becomes the conduction path to neutralize that charge? High voltage.Lightning is a dramatic form of static electricity that occurs in nature. Moving air separates charges, and they collect here and there until the difference of potential (the voltage, or electromagnetic force) becomes so high that there is no way to insulate the charges from each other. Zap! They act to neutralize themselves.We done some explaining and cited some examples. All we need to do is add some links. You'll find them below.

How do you destroy static charge in Glass line reactor?

To remove static charge in a glass line reactor, you can use antistatic chemicals or coatings on the surface of the reactor. Additionally, installing static dissipative materials like grounding straps or rods can help in discharging static electricity. Regularly cleaning the reactor to remove any buildup of dust or contaminants can also prevent static charge from accumulating.

What is the difference between Static Dissipative Shoes and Conductive Shoes?

My interpretation of the text below is that conductive is the safest option for electronics and explosives, while ESD provides some protection for the wearer from being shocked by high voltage equipment, but because of this, it allows the wearer build up a higher charge then the conductive style (due to the difference in resistivity). from ASTM F2413... 5.4 Conductive Protective Footwear: 5.4.1 Conductive footwear shall also meet the requirements of 5.1 for impact resistant footwear and 5.2 for compression resistant footwear. 5.4.2 Footwear shall be designed, constructed, and manufactured to provide protection for the wearer against hazards that may result from static electricity buildup and to reduce the possibility of ignition of explosives or volatile chemicals. 5.4.2.1 Footwear shall dissipate static electricity from the body to reduce the possibility of ignition of volatile compounds. 5.4.2.2 Footwear shall be of a construction that facilitates a stable electrically conductive path. All external components shall be made of nonferrous materials. 5.4.2.3 Conductive footwear is not designed to be worn by personnel working near open electrical circuits. 5.4.3 The workmanship in the production and assembly of the footwear shall ensure that the footwear provides functionality to the wearer. 5.4.3.1 The uppers shall be made of materials that facilitate the dissipation of static electricity. 5.4.3.2 The insoles, linings, outsoles, and heels of the footwear shall be made of any combination of materials and compounds which will facilitate electrical conductivity and the transfer of static electricity build up from the body to the ground. 5.4.3.3 The recommended design of the outsole and heel is a single unit. Where the outsole and heel are separate components, the following practices shall be used. (1) Heel shall be attached to outsole to ensure no disruption in electrical conductivity. (2) Non-ferrous heel nails shall be used to attach the heels when heel nails are used. These nails shall be recessed within the tread surface and then covered with conductive material. These nails shall not be either exposed or visible. 5.4.4 Electrical resistance shall be determined by evaluating the minimum number of specimens per lot size in accordance with Test Methods F 2412. 5.4.4.1 The specimens shall demonstrate resistance between 0 to 500 000 ohms. 5.4.4.2 Any specimen or sample of conductive footwear that does not meet the performance requirement constitutes a failure for the lot. 5.6 Static Dissipative (SD) Footwear: 5.6.1 Static dissipative footwear shall also meet the requirements of 5.1 for impact resistant footwear and 5.2 for compression resistant footwear. 5.6.2 Static dissipative footwear shall be designed, constructed, and manufactured to provide protection to the wearer against hazards which may exist due to excessively low footwear resistance in a work environment, as well as maintain a sufficiently high level of resistance to reduce the possibility of electrical shock in work areas where SD footwear is worn. 5.6.2.1 Footwear shall reduce the excess static electricity by conducting the charge (from body) to ground while simultaneously maintaining a sufficiently high level of resistance (106 ohms) (1 megohm) to protect the wearer when exposed to hazards from incidental contact with live electric circuits. 5.6.2.2 Using human subjects, a pair of footwear shall have a lower limit of electrical resistance of 106 ohms (1 megohm) and have an upper limit electrical resistance of 108 ohms (100 megohms). 5.6.3 The workmanship in the production and assembly of the footwear shall ensure that the footwear provides functionality to the wearer. 5.6.3.1 The footwear shall use any combination of materials that facilitate static dissipation by a consistent path of resistance. 5.6.3.2 The inconsistency of certain hygroscopic materials can result in footwear not being able to consistently meet the performance requirements of static dissipative footwear. 5.6.3.3 Heels shall be attached using non-ferrous heel nails. These nails shall be recessed within the tread surface and then covered with conductive material. These nails shall be neither exposed nor visible. 5.6.4 Static dissipation shall be determined by evaluating the minimum number of specimens per lot size in accordance with Test Methods F 2412. 5.6.4.1 Any specimen that does not meet the performance requirement constitutes a failure for the lot.
