QTI Copper Titanium Non Sparking Tools
Prevent Fire Hazards use QTi Copper Titanium Non Sparking Safety Tools:
As you are aware that use of Non-sparking tools is mandatory to provide protection against fires and explosions in environments where there is a possibility of sparks igniting flammable solvents, gases, vapors, liquids, dusts or residues.
Copper Beryllium
(Cu-Be) is an extremely hazardous alloy due to the toxicity associated with
Beryllium. Use of Cu-Be hand tools or other parts, constantly exposes employees
and contractors to a severe and often fatal lung disease caused by exposure to
Beryllium. Many countries are thus severely curtailing use of Cu-Be or
completely banning it. Due to the above reasons, some users have adopted
Aluminium Bronze (Al-Br) as the preferred alternative for non-sparking tools.
However, Al-Br is a very weak material having strength of about 60% of Cu-Be.
These tools thus break very frequently leading to high consumption and risk of
injury to the user. Cu-Ti
alloys – being introduced by us as QTi® is an excellent replacement
for Copper Beryllium, and Pahwa MetalTech are manufacturing the alloy
for several applications in which Copper Beryllium is currently used.
