Availability	Restricted to a Single Manufacturer	Freely Available World Over & Accepted in All Industries World Over	Freely Available World Over & Accepted in All Industries World Over
Performance	Very Poor Performance in Actual Usage, Several customers having used Copper Titanium are unwilling to use the same & moved to other alloys.	Best Mechanical Properties for a Non Sparking hand Tool	Works for its intended Purpose, but wear and tear of AlBr is higher than that of BeCu
Pricing	Exorbitantly Priced	Priced Marginally Higher when compared with AlBr Alloy – Much lower than CuTi	Most Reasonably Priced

 

 Prevent Fire Hazards/Explosions use Sparkless Non Sparking Tools - Engg Safety 

Safety is no longer an afterthought in Industries across India. In fact most companies have designed their SOPs with health, safety and environment in the forefront. One of the challenges faced in industry is maintenance and operations in hazardous locations which may contain flammable atmosphere of gas and/or dust. There are various classifications of hazardous zones – ATEX being one of the most commonly used classifications. 

Within your plant if you have any hazardous locations that fall under Zone 0/20, 1/21, or 2/22 many considerations have to be made while operating in these areas. It is mandatory to use intrinsically safe equipment. Hand tools such as wrenches and hammers used for regular maintenance and operations have to be non-sparking, as per OSHA/NFPA/FDA/OISD Guidelines.

Non-sparking tools have the property that they do not produce sparks that can ignite gas or dust and hence used in these hazardous locations. Incident reports are full of case studies where regular steel tools have either caused near misses or resulted in fatal accidents. 

Further many users understand the importance of using non-sparking tools but shy away from embracing it because they may not have chosen the correct tool for the job. Since these tools are made from Copper alloys they do not have the same strength as a regular steel tool. Unfortunately it is very pervasive in India to incorrectly use hand tools in a manner for which it is not designed for. Since operators misuse non-sparking tools they do not perform and in some cases snap during usage. This demotivates personnel from using them and they revert to steel tools compromising on safety. 

While the above situation may sound all too familiar the real issue lies in selecting the correct tool for the application. Reputed non-sparking tools are designed and tested so that they will always perform for its intended application.
