This really depends. What exactly are you trying to do? If you're running an electric current though something then rubber is going to be your best insulator/grounder.  As for a bonding material, this depends. You should be able to use almost any metal depending on its availability and the going rate of the metal. Just keep in mind the melting points and your safety.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] grounding and bonding of metal solvent containers

Hi ,

I am looking for guidance on the appropriate method for grounding and bonding metal solvent containers such as 55 gallon drums or 5 gallon cans?

 

Thanks

Keane
