FLANGEGUARDS

About Flangeguards

FLANGEGUARDS leading manufacturer and supplier of pipe safety shields Pipe safety shields also known as flange guards are used in a variety of industries, where their primary application is the prevention of harmful spray-outs and mist formation from failing pipe joints, of toxic, corrosive and dangerous liquids such as acid, oil or steam.

Safety or spray shields offer the last line of defence. They are not designed to contain the leak indefinitely, but to prevent the harmful spray outs resulting in fire or explosions causing considerable plant down time, capital expenditure and even loss of life.

SUREBAND Steel Shields

SUREBAND – STEEL SHIELDS

Our SUREBAND Steel Shield uses only the highest quality materials. This robust and simple design outperforms all other shield types and materials in our in-house pressure testing.

The multi-layered internal steel mesh effectively diffuses pressure releases, preventing dangerous spray or mist formation. Beware of low-quality copies that lack proper mesh layers or safety testing.

Manufactured using 316 stainless steel, these guards are ideal for Steam, Fuel Oil, Lube Oil, Diesel, and more. All designs are tested in our hydrostatic pressure facility, and test certificates are available upon request.

01 Multi-layered steel mesh
02 Quick-connection latch
03 All 316 stainless steel as standard
SUREBAND Clear Shields

SUREBAND Clear Shields

Manufactured from All-PTFE materials (no fibreglass) comprising clear ECTFE outer and multi-layered PTFE mesh inner. This material provides unparalleled chemical resistance.

PDT Pressure Diffusion Technology
Multi-layered PTFE mesh specially formulated to diffuse pressure release, preventing spray and mist formation. The liquid simply drops vertically, removing all hazards.

Quick-Connection
Industrialised & strengthened Velcro provides simple but highly effective means of fitting & removal.

Litmus indicator patch
Immediate visual leak indication for acids & alkali applications. Easily replaced, so the shield doesn’t have to be.

Teflon (PTFE) Shields

Teflon (PTFE) Shields

The PTFE guard is manufactured from three layers of woven Teflon coated fibreglass fabric with a central Teflon scrim for strength. This material is inherently resistant to Ultra-Violet radiation & is ideally suited to concentrated acid & caustic duty as well Fuel / Lube oil.

01 Central Thick Scrim material
02 Permeable Teflon material
03 100% Teflon Pull cord
04 Teflon Thread
05 Litmus paper indicator patch
Clear Teflon (ECTFE) Shields

Clear Teflon (ECTFE) Shields

The Clear ECTFE guard is manufactured from a central section of clear teflon & side sections of teflon coated fibreglass. This material is inherently resistant to Ultra-Violet radiation & enables a visual inspection of the flange joint.

Clear ECTFE is well suited to concentrated acid & caustic duty as well as Fuel / Lube oil. All our designs are tested on our hydrostatic pressure test facility, test certificates are available on request.

01 Central Clear ECTFE material
02 100% Teflon Pull cord
03 Teflon Thread
04 Highly visible Orange PTFE Teflon material
PVC Shields

PVC Shields

The PVC guard is manufactured from two layers of Polyvinyl chloride laminate and includes a "litmus" leak indicator patch contained within a clear window. Thus, any leaks will be visually detected.

The easy to fit lock tight fastening system comprises a Velcro strip, coupled with a braided 100% PVC draw string. When tightened the fabric is drawn over the flange bolts to the pipe wall thus eliminating a lateral spray out.

The design enables leaks to be released without danger, avoiding pressure-build up within the shield.
