Flanged joints on pipeline are a huge source of danger and wherever it used to transport poisonous, flammable, or caustic liquids. In case of seal breakage, the result is a danger zone with a diameter of up to 40 meters. To reduce this flanged joints must be provided with a suitable form of spray protection.
Safety Shields also known as Splash 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.
Pipe joint disasters have been accountable for a huge number of high-profile industrial occurrences around the world. Acid, oil, and steam jet spray-outs have resulted in many severe personal injuries, either directly or through consequent fires and explosions. Industry regulators have recognized the importance of shielding pipe joints (flanges, valves, couplings, hoses) to prevent jet leaks or the formation of explosive mist. Such spray-outs can have catastrophic effects, in many cases resulting in fire or explosions causing considerable plant downtime, capital expenditure, and even loss of life.

The medium being subjected to high pressure is relieved of pressure at the breaking point of the seal. This results in direct conversion into kinetic energy. Due to the special shape of the SAFE-RING, this kinetic energy is reliably reduced in stages so that the medium can flow off completely without spraying out.
The c-shaped diffuser is clamped directly between the flange shells and serves as rebounding and deflecting surface. The emerging medium is deflected several times on the rebounding surfaces into partial currents that flow against and cross one another. The flow rate is reduced accordingly
The c-shaped diffuser divides the space enclosed between the flange shells and the ring jacket into partial spaces and only allows the medium to escape through the broken-through sections/holes in the diffuser. The division into further partial currents results in an additional reduction of the flow rate of the emerging material.
The ring jacket with its slits/grooves ensures that the medium flowing out from the inner relief area into the outside area is deflected or swirled up even further so that a complete reduction of the kinetic energy is achieved. The medium escapes without being sprayed out.
