Safety Spray Shields

Prevent Hazardous Sprayouts with the Utmost in Protection.

Protect the work environment from hazardous sprayouts with Safety Spray Shields, offered by Fiberman. Spray shields consist of a fiberglass, cloth or metal piece which is easily installed on pipe flanges, valves and joints to prevent any harmful fluid from injuring employees while at the same time providing a signal through a color-changing pad to notify personnel so that the leak can be contained quickly.

Saving Money

Safety spray shields protect employees and contribute to worker health and safety by minimizing absenteeism due to accidents caused by contact with leaking chemicals. They also keep costs down because there is no need to train replacement workers. Because they prevent sprayouts from harming personnel, safety spray shields help maintain stable health insurance rates and contain workmen's compensation claims.

How Safety Shields Protect

Safety spray shields prevent sprayouts at critical flanges, joints and valves by interposing an impregnable barrier between the chemical flowing through the piping system and the external environment.

They are made from special materials that are unaffected by chemicals and can tolerate exposure to various temperatures and pressures. In the event of a leak, the escaping fluid is controlled within the shield, and the pressure is dissipated, allowing the leaking chemical to drip harmlessly to the ground.

Safety shields are not designed to stop leaks permanently, but to indicate, contain and temporarily deflect escaping fluid, thereby preventing a sprayout. When shields have been installed, workers can approach a leaking pipe joint safely, shut off the system and make the necessary repairs.

Applications

RAMCO® manufactures different types of safety shields to accommodate the hundreds of liquid chemicals that are used in processing industries at varying temperatures and pressures. By selecting the appropriate shield for a specific application, virtually all situations can be safeguarded. Shields are suitable for liquids, including hazardous and corrosive chemicals, as well as water and steam. Shields should not be used with gases or solids.

Characteristics

Fiberman's Safety Shields deliver the safety and dependability that current technology can provide. Each model of safety shield has been subjected to laboratory and field testing. When the product successfully passes field testing, the shield is put into production, and rigid quality control assures no deviation from the standard.

When considering the specification or purchase of safety shields, the characteristics that should be explored include:

• Mullen Burst Strength
• Adequate Heat Resistance
• Tensile Strength
• Chemical Compatibility
• Adequate Hem
• Adequate Tie-Down Cord
• Resistance to Ultra-Violet Light
