Specialized RAMCO® Safety Shields: "See-Thru" Spra-Gard® Safety Shields

Among the Spra-Gard® Shields are the innovative “See-Thru” Safety Shields that permit easy identification and inspection of all pipe joints, including flanges, valves and expansion joints.

Constructed of a clear film (ECTFE) bordered by either TFE coated fiberglass that is burnt orange in color or PPL, the Vue-Gard® and the PPL (Vue)-Gard® Safety Shields permit visual inspection of pipe joints by personnel so leaks can be detected rapidly. These “See-Thru” Shields clearly contribute to a safe processing plant environment.

RAMCO®’s unique viewing shields withstand temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) and pressures to 1000 psi (69 bar) for the Vue-Gard® Shield and 225°F (107°C) and 1000 psi (69 bar) for the PPL (Vue)-Gard® Shield. They demontrate a broad spectrum of chemical resistance, especially to most corrosive chemicals and organic solvents.

Similar in construction to the other Spra-Gard® Shields, the overlap design of “See-Thru” Shields completely encompasses the pipe connection down to the outside diameter of the pipe. Accordingly, both frontal and lateral sprayouts in systems carrying hazardous or toxic chemicals, even under high pressure conditions, are contained.

Because of their novel characteristics, these shields demonstrate a wide scope of applications in the chemical processing industries. In addition to chemical and pharmaceutical uses, they are appropriate in refineries as well as pulp and paper operations.
