RAMCO Vue-Gard - Safety Shields Valves
Another Spra-Gard product is the innovative “See-Thru” shield that permits easy identification and inspection of all pipe joints, including flanges, valves, threaded connections and expansion joints. Constructed of TFE coated fiberglass that is burnt orange in color with a wide center band of clear film (ECTFE), the Vue-Gard Safety Shield permits visual inspection of pipe joints by personnel so leaks can be detected rapidly.
This unique viewing shield withstands temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) and pressures to 1000 psi (69 bar). It demonstrates a broad spectrum of chemical resistance, especially to most corrosive chemicals and organic solvents.
Similar in construction to the other Spra-Gard Shields, the Vue-Gard’s overlap design completely encompasses a flange connection down to the outside diameter of the pipe; thus, containing both frontal and lateral sprayouts in systems carrying hazardous or toxic chemicals, even under high pressure conditions.
Because of its novel characteristics, this “See-Thru” shield demonstrates a wide scope of applications in the chemical processing industries. In addition to chemical and pharmaceutical uses, this shield is appropriate in refineries as well as pulp and paper operations.
An ideal application of the Vue-Gard Safety Shield is its custom fabrication for use with sight flow indicators. The clear design of the shield allows easy visualization of the sight window and sight window retainers, as well as the pipe connections.
Judged as a major contribution toward more efficient, effective plant operations in the chemical processing industries, the RAMCO Vue-Gard Safety Shield was honored with an award by CHEMICAL PROCESSING in Maintenance/Safety.
