Socket Wrenches (Explosion-Proof)

A socket wrench (explosion-proof) is a tool used to tighten and loosen bolts and nuts, and is an explosion-proof tool made of material that does not generate sparks even when subjected to friction or strong impact. Cast aluminum bronze is generally used as the explosion-proof material, but higher performance beryllium copper alloy can also be used. In particular, beryllium copper alloy boasts not only explosion-proof properties which prevent sparks that cause explosions, but also non-magnetic properties, corrosion resistance and high strength. It is therefore used in various fields such as the oil, gas, and thermal power industries where there is a danger of explosion and fire, in the precision equipment industry where magnetism is undesirable, and in the food and liquor industries that require clean work. Because there are various types of socket and handle, it is necessary to select the one that is most suitable for the operating environment and application.
