Safety Spray Shields / Flange Guards
Spray safety shields, are installed on pipe joints, these being the ‘weak points’ where leaks typically occur. For critical pressurized applications, they are the vital first line of defense to prevent fire, explosion and toxic release which would otherwise endanger plant and personnel.
Flanges are the most common application for safety shields. They’re used to connect pipelines, valves, pumps, strainers & various other pipe joints. But these joints are considered the weak point from a leakage point of view.
Whilst the vast majority of pipe joint seals operate perfectly through correct material selection and routine maintenance, many high profile incidents and accidents have occurred around the world, specifically caused by flange leaks.
Why do I need them and what drives the requirements?
There are a variety of other reasons to fit shields, other than the main purpose of providing safety to employee. These could include pollution control, general site cleanliness and protection of nearby electrical equipment, asset integrity.

Scope of Usage
Shields are like insurance policies: Once in place, you think you are covered
Only after an incident you find out: Some give full protection, others are worthless
