I've been web searching your idea of adding a deionizer in the form of filter as you suggested. I will also have to study how these devices will affect my flow and system pressure requirements (very hi pressure = 3500 psi and flow is 25-30 gpm). Your original idea of an active deionizer is also...

Sigma- Thanks for your quick reply. I am certain the hydraulic fluid we are using is non-conductive although I cannot “quantify” how non-conductive it is. It is a synthetic oil (polyalphaolephin-based oil). If charge is building up on the inside surface of the glass tube, I imagine it...

I think my situation below can only be explained by a physicist, so I hope I came to the right place! On our hydraulic test bench we use a glass tube, float type flowmeter (also called a rotameter?); fluid is hydraulic fluid and non-flammable; the float is anodized aluminum. We occasionally...
