Leading Manufacturer, Supplier & Retailer of AIR ROD, TAPER POINTED AIR RODS, Copper Bonded Earth Rod, Stainless Steel Earth Rod and Solid Copper Earth Rod.
These are used for fixing air rods Horizontally or Vertically and to accommodate circular conductors and Cables to the protection system. The threads are suitable for air rods. Materials: Body - Gunmetal Bolts - Aluminum Bronze, Silicon Bronze, SS Torch: BS EN 50164-1:2000 (15 Nm.)
Air termination Network is the point of connection of Lightning Strike to the Protection System and Speedwell Taper Pointed Air Rods are used for this application. These can be used with or without multipoint, however researches conducted in this regard suggest use of multiple points with taper air rods are more effective than only taper air rods.
Manufactured from high tensile low carbon steel by molecularly bonding 99.9% pure electrolytic copper, these earth rods conform to BS 4360 grade 43A. Each rod is treated with Benzol triozole derivatives to prevent oxidation of copper bonding. The threads are formed by roll threading process which ensure strength and maintain the molecularly bonded copper along the full length of the threads. The rods can be deep driven manually or by using power hammer.
SPEEDWELL offers pure copper earth rods for use where extreme soil condition such as high salt or moisture content demands high corrosion resistance and exceptionally long life of rods. SPEEDWELL Solid Copper Earth Rods are made from high conductivity hard drawn copper to BS2874 C101. Threads are formed by roll threading process to ensure extra strength and avoid the risk of chipping while driving the rods in the ground.
Stainless Steel Earth Rods are used where galvanic corrosion is likely to affect earth rods due to dissimilar metals buried in close proximity as copper earth rods are more vulnerable to galvanic corrosion. Stainless Steel rods are more anodic than copper and are more effective against corrosion problem. These rods are manufactured from austenitic stainless steel to BS 970, GRADE 304 316 S12.
