Fluid circuit with integrated electrostatic discharge mitigation

A fluid circuit defining a flow path for a fluid from a fluid supply toward a process stage, the fluid circuit comprising:

• a plurality of operative components, each operative component comprising a body portion with a fluid flow passageway therethrough and
• a plurality of tubing connector fittings, the operative components connected by a plurality of tubing segments connecting to the components at their respective tubing connector fittings,
• the plurality of tubing segments and operative components providing the flow path through the fluid circuit;
• wherein each body portion comprises a non-conductive fluoropolymer portion, the non-conductive fluoropolymer portion defining the fluid passageway and extending to ends of each of the respective plurality of tubing connector fittings, each body portion further comprising an outer conductor that extends between each of the plurality of tubing connector fittings and that is unitary with the non-conductive fluoropolymer portion, the plurality of tubing segments each comprising a non-conductive fluoropolymer tubing portion and a strip of conductive polymer extending axially on and unitary with the non-conductive fluoropolymer tubing portion;
• wherein each of the connectors having a bridging component for conductively connecting the respective outer conductor of the body portion to the strip of conductive polymer of the tubing portion connected to the connector.
