Definition
Safety practice in which two metal containers are connected with a current-conducting wire. Used specifically when transferring a flammable liquid from one container to another, its purpose is to equalize electrical potential between the containers and thus prevent a static discharge that may cause a spark to ignite the liquid or its vapors. See also grounding.
