Flange guards
FLANGE PROTECTION, SAFETY, PREVENTION
Safety, an important factor to take into account
Don’t wait until it’s too late, passive protection is active when lives are at stake.
Flange guards
An economical solution, stable over time.
Protecting staff from projections is a legal obligation
As a MANAGER or Site Manager, you are responsible for the safety of your staff and the operations on site.
Leaks can happen at any time, and not just to other people.
A controlled leak also means savings, because you avoid damaging related installations. You concentrate discharges and eliminate splashes.

Operating pressure
The first criterion to take into account is the operating pressure of your installation.
If your pressure is very high, you must choose stainless steel protectors that are specially designed for these high stresses.
For lower pressures, the textile flange cover option is available.
Operating temperature
The second selection criterion is the operating temperature. The upper threshold for textile protectors is 260°C.
Above this temperature, only metal covers are possible.
Type of fluid
The third criterion is the nature of the fluid passing through your installation. Its level of danger – acid, base, concentration – determines the material with the best chemical resistance.
Labour regulations
Labour regulations require operators to assess the risks associated with the operation of their facilities.
It has to be said that the notion of leakage and the potential seriousness of the resulting injuries is often not taken into account to the full.
We all think that this type of accident never happens.
The installation of flange covers is strongly recommended when :
– installations are close to high-traffic areas
– the products used are highly dangerous, with chemical and/or thermal burns,
– the installations are next to electrical cabinets or sensitive installations.

Ensuring the safety of industrial installations through flange protection
In the field of industrial safety, flange protection plays a crucial role in guaranteeing the safety of equipment and preventing risks. Industrial safety components, such as flange safety systems, are designed to secure industrial equipment and reduce the risk of leaks of hazardous liquids.
Tailor-made flange protectors are specially adapted to the specific needs of each installation, in compliance with industrial safety standards. These devices are essential for preventing leaks and spills, minimising risks to the environment and worker safety.
As well as providing protection against leaks, flange security systems enhance the safety of industrial equipment by preventing unauthorised access and minimising the risk of sabotage or tampering.
Securing industrial equipment with flange covers helps to maintain a safe working environment that complies with current regulations. By investing in measures to prevent the risk of leaks and deploying appropriate safety devices, companies can prevent incidents and ensure the protection of people, installations and the environment.
In conclusion, the implementation of safety systems for flanges, valves and fittings, and the adoption of measures to prevent leaks, are essential elements of industrial risk management.
These initiatives demonstrate companies’ commitment to safety and environmental responsibility, while guaranteeing the continuity of industrial operations in a safe and protected environment.
