Advantages
over Conventional Tools
- greater safety for personnel and installations
- strong and long lasting
- comprehensive standard range
- non-magnetic
- corrosion resistant
- special tools made to customers own designs
When conventional steel tools are used in potentially
combustible or explosive atmospheres, dangerous sparks
may be accidentally created by tools slipping or being
struck against hard surfaces.
The only safe way to eliminate fires and explosions
in hazardous environments is to make sure that NO inflammable
materials are present when using metal handtools.
In practice this is rarely possible and therefore plant
managers and safety officers insist that SPARK
RESISTANT tools are used for low-cost
protection.
These
tools are used extensively throughout the World in the
following industries:
Oil and gas, off-shore and on-shore
Petro-chemical
Explosives manufacturing
Flammable material manufacturing
Chemical manufacturing
Distilleries
Grain handling
Paint manufacturing
Pipeline construction
Public utilities - Gas, Electric
Armed forces
Pharmaceuticals
Shipyards
Tankers
Aircraft and Missile Factories
