Safety & Protection
Spray Shields
Flange Safety Spray Guards
Spray shields wrap around flanged connections and contain whatever comes out if a gasket lets go: acids, steam, hydrocarbons. In most chemical plants we see these on any Class 150 and above flange running acid or caustic, and they're not optional. They're a personnel safety measure first, but they also protect cable trays and adjacent equipment. PTFE-coated fabric is the default; stainless steel for high-pressure or high-temperature duties.
Types & Variants
PTFE Fabric Shields
Flexible PTFE-coated fibreglass shields with Velcro or buckle closure. Chemical-resistant and reusable across most flange sizes.
Stainless Steel Shields
Rigid stainless steel shields for high-pressure or high-temperature applications where fabric may not withstand the conditions.
Transparent Shields
Clear polycarbonate or polypropylene shields that allow visual inspection of the flange while fitted.
Common Applications
Chemical Plants
Acid, caustic, and solvent lines where spray contact with personnel would cause chemical burns.
Steam Systems
High-pressure steam flanges where a gasket failure would release superheated steam.
Oil & Gas Piping
Hydrocarbon lines in process areas where spray containment reduces fire and safety risk.
