Indana Steel unveils advanced Flange Guard to boost industrial safety
Indana Steel has introduced its latest industrial safety solution - the Flange Guard - aimed at enhancing workplace safety by preventing hazardous spray-outs resulting from pipeline failures. With over 35 years of experience in delivering industrial solutions, Indana Steel has built a solid reputation as a trusted manufacturer serving both global giants and regional distributors.
Flange Guards, also referred to as Flange Spray Shields, are specially engineered to contain dangerous splashes of corrosive liquids such as acids, oils and steam. They are critical in environments where pipe joints are exposed to mechanical stress, vibration and extreme pressures. By effectively preventing mist formation - a key factor in corrosion - Flange Guards enhance the longevity of industrial equipment and reduce downtime caused by maintenance issues.
"Workplace safety is a fundamental responsibility for industries handling high-risk fluids," said the CEO of Indana Steel. "Our Flange Guards are developed to mitigate risks associated with pipe joint failures and to protect both personnel and equipment from catastrophic incidents. We are committed to delivering high-quality safety solutions that adhere to global standards."
Indana Steel's range of Flange Guards includes PTFE-coated fibreglass shields, stainless steel (SS316) guards, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) variants - each tailored to meet specific industry needs. PTFE shields are reinforced with military-grade Kevlar stitching for maximum durability and chemical resistance. SS316 guards, suited to highly corrosive environments like offshore rigs, incorporate a multi-layer stainless steel mesh to decelerate high-pressure sprays. Meanwhile, HDPE and PVC variants offer cost-effective protection with easy visual inspection options.
Beyond their role in accident prevention, the use of Flange Guards is also mandated by various government and industry safety regulations. Indana Steel's shields are fully compliant with these standards, enabling businesses to meet legal safety obligations without compromising on performance. All Flange Guards are backed by a 24-month replacement guarantee, underscoring the company's commitment to quality and customer assurance.
A key innovation in the newly launched Flange Guards is the integration of a Litmus Leak Indicating Patch - a feature that enables early leak detection and helps avert unnoticed failures. The guards also come with secure fastening mechanisms, such as Velcro cut-outs and drawstring locks, ensuring a tight fit and easy installation by a single technician. This user-friendly feature is particularly beneficial for industries where quick maintenance turnaround is crucial.
Indana Steel exports its safety solutions to markets across the United States, Europe, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Australia. With a strong focus on high-performance materials and stringent quality testing, the company continues to lead the way in industrial safety equipment. The launch of Flange Guards strengthens its portfolio, offering businesses a reliable solution to safeguard their operations against hazardous leaks and accidental sprays.
By addressing the evolving challenges of industrial safety through innovation and engineering excellence, Indana Steel continues to strengthen its standing as a trusted manufacturer of protective solutions. The Flange Guard launch represents a significant step forward in safeguarding both personnel and infrastructure across diverse industries.
