Oil Mist – Spray Shields for Explosion Hazard

Fuel oil, lubrication oil, thermal oil, even diesel when under pressure, can represent an explosion hazard in the case of leakage forming a 'Mist' or 'Vapour cloud' that later ignites. Flange and Valve Guards can reduce this risk by controlling the spray out, condensing the vapour into a liquid and producing a safe drip. Customers often use our Guards to reduce/re-classify ATEX hazardous area as a part of a DSEAR review.

Please contact us for more information on our unique high pressure "Secondary Grade" leak tests on "Fixed Part" Sealing Elements, in accordance with BS EN 60079-10-1:2015

For oil mist applications we recommend the following spray shields:

Sureband Clear

All PTFE shield with Pressure Diffusion Technology (PDT) incorporating multi-layered PTFE mesh.

No pull-cords, quick connection strips. Litmus indicator patch included.

RECOMMENDED

Sureband Steel

316 STEEL shield with Pressure Diffusion Technology (PDT) incorporating multi-layered steel mesh.

Simple design and quick-connection latch for easy installation.

RECOMMENDED

Teflon (PTFE)

The PTFE guard  is manufactured from three layers of woven Teflon coated fibreglass fabric with a central Teflon scrim for strength. This material is inherently resistant to Ultra-Violet radiation. There is a litmus leak indicator patch contained within a clear Teflon window.
