Abstract
A conductive elastomeric flexible coupling for a pneumatic duct system is provided. The coupling includes a tube section. An electrically conductive coating is applied to at least an exterior surface of the tube section. The coating acts as an electrically conductive compliant material configured to conduct electrical charges transferred from a substance carried by and flowing through the duct system and accommodate large deflections.
