Copper C Clamp

A Copper C Clamp is a clamping tool shaped like the letter “C" and made primarily from copper or copper-alloy materials. These are designed for specialized applications where standard steel clamps might not be suitable. Here’s a detailed breakdown.

• Shape: “C"-shaped frame with a threaded screw for tightening.

• Material: Usually made from solid copper or copper alloys (e.g., beryllium copper).

• Function: Provides secure holding or grounding in electrical and mechanical applications.

• Non-sparking: Copper is non-ferrous, reducing the risk of sparking in explosive or flammable environments.

• Corrosion resistance: Suitable for marine, chemical, and outdoor environments.

• Conductivity: Copper’s high electrical conductivity makes it ideal for grounding and welding tasks.

• Electrical Grounding

  • Often used to attach grounding wires to pipes, rods, or structural steel.

  • Ensures a low-resistance path to earth.

• Welding

  • Copper C-clamps are used as welding ground clamps because they conduct electricity efficiently.

  • Less likely to stick to the workpiece compared to steel clamps.

• Non-sparking Environments

  • In oil refineries, grain silos, chemical plants, or fuel storage areas where sparks could cause explosions.

• Marine and Outdoor Work

  • Copper resists rust and degradation from moisture or salt.

• Frame Material: Pure copper or copper alloy.

• Screw Type: Copper or brass-threaded screw; sometimes stainless steel for strength.

• Jaw Opening: Ranges from 1 inch to 12 inches, depending on size.

• Clamping Force: Lower than hardened steel clamps due to copper’s softness, but sufficient for specialized tasks.

• Standards:

  • UL Listed or CSA Certified for electrical grounding applications.

  • Compliant with OSHA safety guidelines in non-sparking tool use.

• High electrical conductivity.

• Non-sparking for hazardous environments.

• Corrosion resistant.

• Gentle on softer metals and surfaces.

• Softer metal → lower clamping force than steel clamps.

• More expensive than steel equivalents.

• Not suitable for heavy mechanical loads requiring maximum strength.
