Beryllium Non Sparking Tools

Non sparking tools for every need.

Beryllium non sparking tools.

Cs unitec s non sparking tools and non magnetic hand tools are manufactured from special aluminum bronze albr or copper beryllium cube alloys for safe use in ex zones and where hazardous flammable or combustible vapors liquids dusts or residues may be present. Ampco meets this need by offering a variety of standard or custom kits to meet your specific needs. Copper beryllium tools or aluminum bronze tools. In order to increase work place safety safety experts recommend that you store your non sparking tools separately from your standard tools.

It s important to keep a few key properties in mind. Non sparking tools are made of materials that do not contain iron non ferrous metals such as brass bronze monel metal copper nickel alloy copper aluminum alloys aluminum bronze or copper beryllium alloys beryllium bronze and therefore the risk of a spark being created while the tool is. Mix match there is no catch. We carry the.

At safetytools we carry all the non sparking beryllium free tools you need to perform any job regardless of how large or small. When selecting the right alloy for your non sparking non magnetic safety tools you have two choices. Beryllium copper becu also known as copper beryllium cube beryllium bronze and spring copper is a copper alloy with 0 5 3 beryllium and sometimes other elements. Non sparking spark reduced spark resistant or spark proof tools are names given to tools made of metals such as brass bronze monel metal copper nickel alloy copper aluminum alloys aluminum bronze or copper beryllium alloys beryllium bronze.

Non sparking beryllium copper screwdrivers pliers wrenches cold chisels knives hammers and more are ideal for environments with explosive hazards such as oil rigs coal mines and grain elevators. The non sparking tool industry is sensitive to the potential toxicity of beryllium dust mist and fumes that may occur while working with the softer metals in a non sparking tool other non sparking metals do not carry that same concern. It has excellent metalworking forming and machining properties it has many specialized applications in tools for hazardous environments. Zone compatibility hardness durability magnetic properties and composition.

Instead we use specially formulated alloys for safety and strength. Why does a non sparking tool specify that it is beryllium free. Berylco safety tools are made of high strength beryllium copper which is a copper based alloy containing approximately 1 8 beryllium. Our tools don t contain beryllium making them a healthier alternative to beryllium copper tools.

The alloy can be heat treated to hardness ranges of rockwell c35 45 with tensile strengths up to 190 000 p s i.
