Beryllium Non Sparking Tools

Berylco safety tools are certified nonsparking by the factory mutual research corporation.

Beryllium non sparking tools.

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

Different zones require certain alloys. 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. It s important to keep a few key properties in mind. We carry the.

Beryllium copper combines high strength with non magnetic and non sparking qualities. The alloy can be heat treated to hardness ranges of rockwell c35 45 with tensile strengths up to 190 000 p s i. In order to increase work place safety safety experts recommend that you store your non sparking tools separately from your standard tools. Ampco meets this need by offering a variety of standard or custom kits to meet your specific needs.

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. When selecting the right alloy for your non sparking non magnetic safety tools you have two choices. Non sparking tools for every need. Instead we use specially formulated alloys for safety and strength.

Zone compatibility hardness durability magnetic properties and composition. 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. At safetytools we carry all the non sparking beryllium free tools you need to perform any job regardless of how large or small. 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.

It has excellent metalworking forming and machining properties it has many specialized applications in tools for hazardous environments.
