Beryllium Non Sparking Tools

Our tools don t contain beryllium making them a healthier alternative to beryllium copper tools.

Beryllium non sparking tools.

Berylco safety tools are certified nonsparking by the factory mutual research corporation. At safetytools we carry all the non sparking beryllium free tools you need to perform any job regardless of how large or small. 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. 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 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. 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. 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.

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. Why does a non sparking tool specify that it is beryllium free. Ampco meets this need by offering a variety of standard or custom kits to meet your specific needs. Non sparking tools for every need.

The alloy can be heat treated to hardness ranges of rockwell c35 45 with tensile strengths up to 190 000 p s i. Berylco safety tools are made of high strength beryllium copper which is a copper based alloy containing approximately 1 8 beryllium. 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. Different zones require certain alloys.

Instead we use specially formulated alloys for safety and strength. Mix match there is no catch. We carry the. When selecting the right alloy for your non sparking non magnetic safety tools you have two choices.

Copper beryllium tools or aluminum bronze tools.
