FAQs of PTFE Flange Guard:
Q: How do I install the PTFE Flange Guard?
A: Installation is straightforward: wrap the guard around the flange ensuring full coverage, then secure it in place using the integrated tie-cord or Velcro closure. Its flexible construction allows fast application, even in tight or complex setups.
Q: What chemicals is the PTFE Flange Guard resistant to?
A: The guard is crafted from virgin PTFE, offering resistance to most chemicals and acids encountered in industrial environments, making it suitable for chemical, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, and food processing applications.
Q: When should I use a PTFE Flange Guard?
A: PTFE Flange Guards should be used whenever there is a risk of hazardous spray-out leakage from pipe flanges, especially in processes involving corrosive chemicals, high pressure (up to 40 Bar), or high/low temperatures (-200C to +260C).
Q: Where can these guards be applied?
A: They are ideal for use in chemical plants, pharmaceutical manufacturing, petrochemical facilities, and food processing plantsanywhere flange leak containment and personnel protection are required.
Q: What is the benefit of the guard being reusable?
A: Being reusable, the PTFE Flange Guard can be quickly removed for flange inspection or maintenance and easily refitted, which saves time and material costs over single-use alternatives.
Q: What level of protection does the guard provide against fire and UV exposure?
A: The guard is both flame retardant and UV resistant, allowing it to function reliably and retain its integrity even in outdoor or high-temperature installations.
Q: Is custom sizing available for non-standard flanges?
A: Yes, custom sizes and lengths are available to ensure a perfect fit for non-standard or oversized flange connections, maximizing splash containment and enhancing site safety.
