FlangeGuards is the Leading Manufacturer and Supplier of Pipe Safety Shields
Pipe safety shields, also known as flange guards or "flange diapers," are used in a variety of industries. Their primary application is the prevention of harmful spray-outs and mist formation from failing pipe joints. Oftentimes, these mists are composed of toxic, corrosive, and dangerous liquids such as acid, oil or steam.

Original Fabric Shields - How They Work
There are two pull-cords which run parallel along the length of the outside of flange. Two Velcro tabs are also situated at each end of the shield, which are only used to keep the shield in place while the cords are being tightened. Firstly, wrap the shield tightly around the flange. The two Velcro tabs fasten together to close the shield and hold it in place, ready for tightening of the cords.
