RAMCO-Safety shields

RAMCO-Safety shields ส่วนมากจะถูกติดตั้งใช้งานกับหน้าแปลนของวาล์วและ รอยต่อในระบบท่อส่งสารเคมีต่างๆ ที่อาจเกิดการรั่วได้กับทุกจุด ซึ่งไม่สามารถคาดการณ์ได้อันเนื่องมาจากสภาพการกัดกร่อนจากสารเคมีและ ความดันภายในท่อที่มีการใช้งานอยู่ตลอดเวลา ทำให้เกิดอันตรายกับผู้ที่ปฏิบัติงานในบริเวณนั้น และยังส่งผลทำให้เกิดความเสียหายกับเครื่องจักรที่สัมผัสกับละอองสารเคมีนั้นอีกด้วย

RAMCO-Safety shields History เริ่มต้นจากปี 1958 ผู้ผลิตสารเคมีในสหรัฐอเมริกาได้นำเอาโลหะเคลือบสังกะสีมาทำเป็นการ์ดป้องกันตามหน้าแปลนต่างๆ และพัฒนาเป็นสแตนเลส ในปี 1961 หลังจากนั้นได้มีการใช้วัสดุที่ทำจากพลาสติกมากขึ้นจนถึงปัจจุบัน ซึ่งมีข้อดีหลายอย่าง เช่นทำให้เข้ากับรูปทรงต่างๆ ได้ง่าย, น้ำหนักเบา, ทนสารเคมีได้หลายชนิดมากขึ้น

RAMCO® Safety Shields are manufactured for all pipe connections such as: Flanges ,Couplings,Valves of All Kinds ,Unions ,Expansion Joints ,Elbows ,Flow Meters ,Tees,Hose Couplings ,Clamps ,Heat Exchangers ,Pumps ,Pressure Vessels ,Instruments ,Customized Connections ,Tube Fittings

RAMCO® Safety Shields can be divided into three groups:
Spra-Gard® Safety Shields
Econo-Gard® Safety Shields
Metal Safety Safety Shields

Because of the apparent need for an economical but dependable safety shield, RAMCO® developed the Econo-Gard® Safety Shield. Great attention has been paid to its design to ensure that its economic features have not been achieved at the expense of safety. The modest price of this shield is possible because its fabrication utilizes non-labor intensive heat sealing methods.

Econo-Gard® Safety Shields are available in two thermoplastic materials:

– polyethylene (PE)

– polyvinyl chloride (PVC) (white, red and clear)

While each of the Econo-Gard® Safety Shields has slightly different characteristics, depending on the materials from which they are fabricated, both are manufactured with the same design and feature identical configurations.

The RAMCOTE Polyolefin Coated U-Bolts are an excellent choice for preventing corrosion and damage caused to piping systems by metal to metal contact, vibration and lateral movement. The RAMCOTE system helps to prevent premature failure of piping systems, ultimately reducing maintenance cost.

Available in Galvanized, Stainless Steel or PTFE coated, sizes 1/2″ – 36″, standard with 4 nuts and a rubber support pad.

Optional half or full round thermoplastic support pad​

Acid Detecting Paints – Solvent

Specifications

ON GUARD™ Acid Detecting Paint is a durable, industrial coating with a unique acid-sensitive component, which changes color (golden yellow to brilliant red) when exposed to acid or acid vapors pH 3 or lower. ON GUARD™ provides an immediate visual indication of a spill or leak, often at quantities that are too small to trigger an exposure with conventional detection devices. This is a lead-free, all-organic, acrylic modified, alkyd enamel. Use on potentially hazardous surfaces such as valves, pipes, pumps, flanges, tanks, sample ports, flow indicators, expansion joints, weld sites, clamps, hose connections, truck tanker or tanker car domes, threaded connections, or any place where an accidental leak or spill may occur. The reaction of ON GUARD™ to acids pH 3 or lower is instantaneous.

shields Safety shields for flanges are most frequently specified, followed by shields for valves. From the standpoint of safety, all pipe joints are critical, since a sprayout can occur at any connection. However, the likelihood of a sprayout is greatest from flanges because their use outnumbers all other connections. Should a leak become uncontrolled, the consequences can be devastating. In 1958,

RAMCO® Manufacturing Company, Inc. was approached by a New Jersey chemical manufacturer to develop a cost-effective safety device for the control of sprayouts from pipe flanges. While using a make-shift wrap-around steel guard that attached to pipe joints with wire, this company wanted a standardized product that could be manufactured in quantity. RAMCO® considered this

challenge and the RAMCO® Metal Safety Shield evolved.

A division of RAMCO® Manufacturing Company Inc., manufactures Flange Isolation Gasket Kits and Coated U-Bolts, for cathodic protection, used in industries such as Oil & Gas, Petrochemical, Pipeline, Water & Wastewater, LNG, Marine, Shipbuilding and Offshore Drilling.

Our manufacturing facility is located in Lafayette, LA which enables us to serve local Oil & Gas customers quickly. We also have some inventory stocked in Kenilworth, NJ and Austin, TX so we have the ability to provide delivery throughout North America and Internationally.

RAMCO® SpraGard® Safety Shields, the work horse of safety shields, are most frequently specified because of their wide range of physical characteristics.

RAMCO® Spra-Gard® Safety Shields are fabricated in three proprietary thermoplastic textiles:

– Teflon* (tetrafluoroethylene or TFE coated fiberglass)

– Polypropylene (PPL)

– ECTFE

The two woven cloths — TFE and PPL —are developed exclusively for RAMCO® according to specifications. These fabrics are produced to a patented design and a “porosity concept’’ that has been very carefully engineered. Rather than using impenetrable fabrics, Spra-Gard® Safety Shields are made of slightly porous textiles — too slight to permit a sprayout but sufficient to allow fluid to seep through to the indicating patch in the event of a leak.

ECTFE, a fluoropolymer clear film, is the material that forms the wide center band of the Spra-Gard® “See-Thru” Shields. This non-flammable film withstands temperatures up to 300°F (150°C) and has very high tensile strength. It also demonstrates excellent chemical resistance.

All Spra-Gard® Shields have been subjected to ultraviolet (UV) testing and have performed without degradation for approximately 500 hours.

Ramco® Sealing Solutions Flange Isolation Gasket kits provide electrical isolation to eliminate the flow of static electricity for safety and corrosion prevention on piping systems.

Manufactured to ANSI B16.5 standards, in various materials to meet application requirements. Products are available in sizes from 1/2″ thru 144″ or equivalent international sizes. We also manufacture to meet other standards such as AWWA, MSS SP44, API605, DIN and JIS
