Successful Stainless steel creation goes back to 1913 when Harry Brearley created a steel with 12.8% chromium and a carbon percentage of merely 24 percent. Stainless steel was made with the sole purpose of creating a weather and acid resistant steel. One peculiar characteristics of Stainless steel is it cannot be hardened by heating. Adding Molybdenum to steel increases its corrosion resistance , heat resistance and overall strength. Stainless steel 316 is a chromium-Nickel-Molybdenum alloy.
Flanges are joiners or connectors used in connecting pipes and equipment manually.
These flanges are bolted together by a torque wrench. Though it sounds simple but are very critical. Critical because of dangerous, high temperature and volatile liquids continuously passing through them. Flanges are present everywhere from nuclear powered submarines to your neighbourhood water pipelines.There are many reasons for a flange leak like improper alignment of flanges, loosening of bolts, improper gasket material, vibrations, lack of maintenance etc.
Real Life Accidents Because Of Flange Leaks:1. Marine Insight-CargoShip2. Total Refinery Antwerp, Belgium3. The Piper Alpha Disaster, North Sea, United Kingdom
Most of the time accidents can be avoided by taking proper safety measures. The cost of these measures are negligible compared to the overall liabilities arising out of an accident leading to death of manpower or damage to a critical equipment. Flange guards are also an insurance requirement now. As a Procurement personnel buying a proper guard which can handle the pressure requirement is very critical.A safety guard blowing out and causing an accident is the last thing you'd never expect.

Why Us?SS316 Flange guardsmanufactured by us have been specially designed to handle the most critical pressure requirement. It comes with a double safety lock which keeps the guard securely tightened to the flange.Stainless steel Grade-316gives the Flange shield high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
The most critical part ofa flange guardis to diffuse the pressure of the liquid so that it in case of a spray out safety of manpower is not compromised. Multiple layers ofStainless steelmesh has been welded to the flange guard to diffuse the pressure both horizontally and vertically. The design of a guard is very critical to the safety. Most of theStainless steel Flange guardshave no mechanism to diffuse the pressure.
Our flange guards have been designed to handle pressure upto 2500 PSI and comes with a two year replacement Guarantee. These Shields have multiple slots for easy fitment to the flanges and takes less then a minute to fit. During maintenance flange guards can be removed as per requirement and on completion can be refitted. Can be used on both square and round flanges.

A Pure Teflon Flange Guard Is A Very Unique Flange Guard created for very specific use where contamination has to be avoided. These Pure Teflon Flange Guards have 100% Teflon Body(No Fiberglass) & 100% PTFE DRAWSTRINGS. These Spray Guards are used in the clean room of pharma industries & on joints of dairy & food processing industries.
These guards are resistant to all the chemicals even at high concentration and can be used freely without any fear of material degradation.
The translucency of the Teflon allows an visual inspection of the flange or valves. This helps in early detection of leaks & averting accidents.
These guards have a very long service life and can be used over & over again. These pure Teflon safety spray shields are very easy to install and no specialized manpower is required.
Spray outs are a common incident in most of the industries. For the purpose of safety, spray shields & flange guards are installed on flanges, valves & joints. However there are some industries where immediate visual detection of spray outs is very important. For such applications, Indana has a unique line of Transparent Flange Shield which allow for visual inspection of the joint.
Clear Type PTFE Spray Shields are made from PTFE Fiber Glass Cloth with a clear transparent window in the centre. PTFE is highly resistant to the onslaught of acids, solvents & other corrosive service liquids. These Flange shields have been designed in accordance to the fluid dynamics. This empowers Indana Flange Guards to completely contain the spray out & completely diffuse the pressure of the splash thus providing a safe discharge.
Clear Type PTFE Safety Spray Shields or See Through Flange Guards are available for Flanges (Flange Guards), Valves (Valve Spray Shields), Threaded Joints & Fitting (Safety Spray Shields).
Trusted:We are the only manufacturer in the world to provide Pure Teflon Scrim inside.
Fact:PTFE is officially designated by Guinness World Records as worlds most slippery substance.
TIP:Do not tighten the gasket beyond its elastic point to cover lack of symmetry between flanges.
What was discovered by accident is now used to prevent accidents? Doctor Plunkett was working on non-toxic alternatives on refrigerant in DuPont. In one of his experiments, he stored around 100 pounds of TFE-tetrafluoroethylene gas in a cylinder. After few days when he tried to use the TFE-gas, nothing came out of the cylinder. He decided to cut the cylinder with the help of his assistant. To his surprise, the TFE-gas has polymerized into a waxy white powder. Which was eventually called PTFE and patented by DuPont? Today, PTFE is sold by different manufacturers under several brand names.
Dale Kleist a researcher was trying to weld to two glass blocks to form an airtight seal. The accidentally molten glass was hit by compressed air which resulted in an easy way of creating fiberglass.
PTFE Coated Fibreglass Fabric - Comprising the coat which is PTFE and the substrate-Fibreglass Fabric adhered together through a coating system.PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene), when coated on fiberglass fabric, makes it a high tensile membrane. PTFE makes the fabric thermally stable, resistant to chemicals, insoluble in almost all solvents, UV resistant, flexible and does not break when subject to stress, high resilience characteristics, lowest friction coefficients, dielectric constant, nonflammable, waterproof and excellent insulator. Whereas Fibreglass maintains the structural function of the fabric. Fiberglass has high modulus elasticity and high tensile strength.
We take utmost care in choosing the fabric for the flange guards so that there are no pin holes which eventually may lead to accidents. Coating thickness is checked so that guard can perform in extreme conditions for extended periods. We use Kevlar threads which are strongest and decomposes at 800 degrees Fahrenheit or 426 degrees Celsius. Kevlar threads have very little stretch and are 2-3 times stronger than nylon or polyester. Kevlar threads are only available in Yellow colour and are very expensive.
All our flange guards are made of multiple layers of PTFE Coated fiberglass fabric with an inner scrim.
The inner scrim helps the guard in holding on to the flanges. Braided PTFE coated ropes are used on the guard which are fire retardant and do not decompose in extreme conditions. Cotton or nylon ropes will not last under these extreme conditions and eventually compromise the safety of the guard. Velcro is provided on the extreme ends giving it the second fastening system.
1.Permeable and Non-Permeable ShieldsThese guards are available in both permeable and non-permeable shields as per customer or process fluid requirements.
2.KevlarWe use only the strongest and very high heat resistant threads.In case of process temperature going beyond the PTFE threshold the teflon threads will disintegrate and the shield will come out.Kevlar threads will still hold the fibreglass shield intact.NO GO Threads - Cotton / Nylon / Wool.
3.Limtus PaperThis will identify bothAcid and Bases.This helps in easy identification of process fluid leaks.
4.Central ScrimThis helps in holding the Teflon or PTFE shield securely to the Flanges /Valves.Also providing support to the entire structure of the flange shield or Guards.
5.Kevlar/Teflon Tie CordsThis helps in securely fastening the teflon or PTFE flange shield.Very Critical in case of a Spray out.NO GO Ropes -Cotton/Nylon.
