What are Spray Safety Shields? Spray safety shields, are installed on pipe joints, these being the ‘weak points’ where leaks typically occur. For critical pressurised applications, they are the vital first line of defence to prevent fire, explosion and toxic release which would otherwise endanger plant and personnel. Prevent Spray-outs - Generally the most important requirement is to control the leak, create a safe release and thus avoid a dangerous spray-out, which would otherwise happen even at low pressure. Avoid oil mist formation - For certain oil & fuel applications, oil mist formation is just as hazardous as a spray-out. Furthermore, ill-fitting safety shields can actually create mist formation. Provide leak indication - It is important to identify leaks as quickly as possible, though the process will determine the urgency. For certain acid lines, some customers require that flanges must not be concealed. This is achieved using transparent shielding. Alternatively leak-indic...
