NON-SPARKING TOOLS
Atexworkshop offers the widest range of non-sparking tools. These are manufactured in two main types of alloys: aluminium bronze (Al-Bron) and copper beryllium (Cu-Be).
The non-sparking tools are certified by the BAM Institute, approved by the European Union to be certified based on directive 94/9/EC.
Atexworkshop non-sparking tools are the best alternative for non sparking application purposes in potentially explosive enviroments. All tools are forged after casting to achieve the best quality in the market, both in mechanical properties and attractive finishing. We incorporate to our non-sparking tools all our knowledge of decades designing and manufacturing hand tools, making the most ergonomic, easy-to-be-used and nicest design for them.

|---|---|---|

Hardness |
283-365 Brinell. |
229-291 Brinell. |
|
Magnetism |
Non ferrous substance in the composition makes it safer when non-magnetic applications are required. |
Minimum ferrous component makes them not 100% non-magnetic, although its low magnetism make it appropiate for non critical non-magnetic applications. |
|
Durability |
Much higher due to the higher hardness and tensile strength. Higher efforts can be made. |
Not as much as Cu-Be. |
Tools made of Cu-Be alloy can be used in all groups (I, IIA, IIB, IIC) in a safe way, always respecting the maximum surface temperature allowed, with the only exception of acetylene, with which copper might react and create highly explosive acetylite gases.
Tools made of Al-Bron alloy can be used in a safe way, always respecting the maximum surface temperature allowed, except for the IIC group (hydrogen, gas of water, acetylene, bisulphide of carbon, ethyl nitrate).
All tools are manufactured according to the strict control of ISO 9001-200, certified by the most prestigious institution for hand tool manufacturing, TÜV-Rheindland/Germany.
