Non Sparking Tools for Explosive atmosphere

Industrial Health and Safety blogs.

What are non Sparking Tools?


“Non-sparking”,
“spark-resistant” or “spark-proof” tools are names given to tools made of metals such as copper-beryllium alloys (beryllium bronze), Aluminium bronze and Copper Titanium.




Non Sparking Tools Advantage Vs Disadvantage?




Copper Beryllium-Toxicity

Aluminium Bronze- Very Weak material


Copper Titanium- Non Toxic and Strong material

Copper Beryllium?

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.

Beryllium copper combines high strength with non-magnetic and non-sparking qualities. 

Beryllium alloys present a toxic inhalation hazard during manufacture.  It has many specialized applications in tools for hazardous environments.

Aluminum Bronze?

Aluminium bronze (Al-Br) is a very weak material having strength of about 60% of Cu-Be. So Al-Br tools break very frequently leading to high consumption and risk of injury to user.

Copper Titanium?

Copper Titanium is free from Beryllium and Strong material and tested as per IS 4595-1969. 


Non-sparking tools also generate sparks sometimes referred to as “cold sparks”. These cold sparks have a low heat level and do not ignite carbon disulfide, which has the lowest ignition point of any substance known to man. Therefore while “non-sparking” tools may lower the risk of a spark, they do not eliminate the possibility of sparks. The name “non-sparking” is misleading because these tools are capable of producing a spark: the term “reduced-sparking tools” better describes these tools.
Non-metals like wood, leather, and plastic are suitable for some tools like shovels, scrapers or scoops and do not pose a friction spark hazard.
Non-sparking tools provide protection against fires and explosions in environments where there is a concern about sparks igniting flammable solvents, vapors, liquids, dusts or residues.

What are the reasons for managing Health and Safety?

Image
Equally important three reasons are behind managing health and safety at workplace. These are as below: 1  -         Moral, 2  -        Financial and 3  -       Legal reasons Moral reasons: Every individual has right to work in safe workplace while performing his assigned task. He comes to a workplace in happy mode and expects to return in a same manner. Same time individual has a duty to follow all health and safety norms so as to save him as well as prevent injury to others by his acts. Here come two things “Duty of Care” and “Negligent act”. Duty of care is an obligation to exercise a level of care towards an individual that is reasonable in all circumstances to avoid injury to that individual and to his belongings. Negligent act is not intentionally but careless act which results into loss. Only Negligent act is regarded as a breach of “duty of care”. Liability for “duty of care” depends on policy of that area.
