Chisel Hexagonal, Non-Sparking, Aluminium Bronze, OAL Length 18 x 160mm, Diameter 16mm, EGA MASTER (73816)

Chisel Hexagonal, Non-Sparking, Aluminium Bronze, OAL Length 18 x 160mm, Diameter 16mm, EGA MASTER (73816), Features EGA MASTER, S.A. Non-Sparking Tools are the best alternative for non-sparking application purposes in potentially explosive environments. 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. All EGA MASTER Tools are manufactured according to the strict control of ISO 9001-200, certified by the most prestigious institution for hand tool manufacturing, TUV-Rheindland/Germany. 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, except with acetylene that can create explosive acetylite gases. Tools made of Al-Bronze 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). SAFE WORK IN ACETHYLENE ENVIRONMENT Items with copper compositions higher than 65% should not be used in acetylene environment. Both aluminum-bronze and copper-beryllium allows do have higher copper compositions than 65%. Reason is not that copper-beryllium can create a spark with the enough energy to create the ignition of acetylene, but that copper can react with acetylene creating highly explosive acetylates. For this reason, copper-beryllium or aluminum-bronze alloys should not be used in acetylene environments. EGMASTER, S.A is working in a newly developed non-sparking alloy that may be 100% safe to be employed in acetylene environments. If that is your
