Safety shields protect from dangerous spray-outs
The need for compliance with the latest regulations, such as ATEX137 and DSEAR, has prompted many process operators, especially in the offshore industry, to invest in flange guards and safety shields
In so doing, a growing number of Allison clients are often able to reduce the size of zoned hazardous areas, thus also ultimately saving money.
Allison Teflon Spray-Guard is a multi-layered, Teflon coated, fibreglass safety shield which can be made to exactly fit any pipe fitting.
Typically, this is for flanges and valves, though shields are often made to fit couplings, pumps, tee pieces, flexible hoses and various non-standard joints.
The Spray-Guard is suitable for the most corrosive and aggressive chemical streams.
Stainless steel shields are also available for particularly high pressure and/or temperature applications.
With the ATEX137 and DSEAR regulations coming into force on 1st July 2006, Allison are offering free site surveys to evaluate shielding requirements. Request a free brochure from Allison Engineering ...
