Non Sparking Edging Spade
The Non-Sparking Edging Spade is a robust hand tool designed for use in environments where fire or explosion hazards are present. Built for precision and strength, this spade is primarily used for digging along edges, cutting through sod, or shaping soil in controlled or confined areas. Its sturdy construction and safety-focused design make it a valuable tool in industries like petrochemicals, refineries, military storage, and emergency services.
Material Composition
Crafted from Beryllium Copper (Be-Cu) and Aluminum Bronze (Al-Br), the Non-Sparking Edging Spade is specifically engineered to eliminate the risk of sparking during use. These materials are non-magnetic, corrosion-resistant, and incredibly durable, providing long-lasting performance in hazardous work environments. They also help ensure user safety where flammable gases or materials may be present.
Manufacturing Process
The spade is die forged to ensure structural integrity and consistent quality. This process involves shaping the metal under high pressure, resulting in a dense, uniform tool with superior strength and reliability. Die forging minimizes internal flaws and produces a spade capable of withstanding repeated stress in industrial applications.
Certifications and Standards
Manufactured according to the Q/ZBF-201A standard, this spade meets critical safety and quality benchmarks for non-sparking tools. This certification provides assurance that the tool is suitable for use in environments requiring strict adherence to safety protocols and standards.
Applications
This edging spade is ideal for tasks that require clean, defined cuts in soil, especially near structures or in tight spaces. It is commonly used for trenching, edging lawns or beds, and digging narrow paths. Thanks to its non-sparking composition, it is particularly useful in areas where traditional metal tools could pose a fire risk.
Product Specifications
Two variants are available. Model 201A-1002 has dimensions of 1390 mm in length, 195 mm in breadth, and 290 mm in height, with weights of 3500 grams for Be-Cu and 3200 grams for Al-Br. Model 201A-1004 measures 1440 mm in length, 175 mm in breadth, and 340 mm in height, with weights of 3700 grams for Be-Cu and 3480 grams for Al-Br. Both versions offer a strong, ergonomic design suitable for heavy-duty industrial work.
