BSTFLEX Stainless Steel Flange Guards are removable metal protection covers designed to fit around industrial flanged connections. The guard uses a formed stainless steel body with annular side panels around the pipe openings, together with a hinged opening section and stainless steel latch closure for installation and maintenance access.
This construction provides broader external coverage than an open-sided band guard and is suitable for projects requiring a more enclosed metal cover around the flange assembly. Each guard is sized according to the actual flange geometry, pipe diameter and available installation space.
These products are part of the BSTFLEX Flange & Valve Protection Covers range.
The guard body surrounds the outside of the flange connection, while annular side panels extend inward around the pipe openings. This geometry helps cover both the flange perimeter and side areas of the assembly.
The product is split so that it can be opened around the installed connection. A hinge on one side allows the body to open, while a stainless steel latch secures the guard after positioning.
The final dimensions and coverage depend on the flange outside diameter, assembled connection width, pipe outside diameter, bolt projection and surrounding equipment clearance.

Flange guards should not be selected by nominal pipe size alone. Different flange standards and pressure designations can have different outside diameters, thicknesses and bolt arrangements.
For quotation, provide the flange standard, nominal size, pressure designation and actual connection dimensions. Where the flange does not follow HG/T 20592, send the applicable ANSI, ASME, DIN, EN, JIS or other standard together with the relevant dimensional drawing.
Useful dimensions include flange outside diameter, total assembled width, pipe outside diameter, bolt and nut projection and nearby installation restrictions.
Stainless steel flange guards are used in industrial piping environments where durable external flange protection is required. Typical project inquiries come from chemical processing plants, pharmaceutical facilities, power generation systems and other process piping installations.
For steam, molten salt or other demanding service conditions, provide the process medium, operating temperature and pressure with the inquiry. Material selection and guard construction must be reviewed against the actual service conditions rather than assumed from the product name alone.
BSTFLEX also supplies Stainless Steel Band-Type Flange Guards. The band-type design surrounds the flange perimeter while leaving the sides more open.
The product described on this page includes side panels around the pipe openings and therefore provides a more enclosed cover geometry. These products should be selected according to the required coverage, available installation space and project specification.
Installation should be carried out only when the piping connection is in a safe condition and according to the site's approved work procedures.
The cover should not be forced onto an incorrectly sized flange. During scheduled inspection, check the body, hinge and latch for deformation, damage or corrosion before reuse.
A stainless steel flange guard is an external protective cover. It is not a pressure-retaining repair clamp and does not replace the flange gasket, bolting or piping maintenance procedures.
If the application specifically requires spray diffusion, mist suppression, internal mesh construction or verified spray-shield performance, these requirements must be stated in the inquiry. A separate mesh-lined flange guard configuration may be more appropriate depending on the project specification.
Provide the flange standard, nominal size, pressure designation, flange outside diameter, assembled width, pipe outside diameter and required quantity. Drawings and photographs are recommended for non-standard installations.
Yes, custom sizing can be reviewed when the correct flange standard and dimensions are supplied. The guard dimensions should be confirmed from the actual connection or approved flange drawing.
No. This product is defined by its formed full-cover metal housing. Mesh-lined spray shields include an additional internal mesh structure and should be treated as a separate product configuration.
Yes. The hinged body and latch closure allow the guard to be opened and removed during planned inspection and maintenance.
Valve protection normally requires separate consideration of the valve body, flange connections, handle or actuator. Individual flange guards may be used on valve connections, while complete valve protection requires a dedicated design.
Send BSTFLEX your flange drawing, standard, size, pressure designation and measured dimensions. Include the process medium, operating temperature, pressure, required quantity and any material or documentation requirements.
For non-standard installations, attach front and side photographs showing the complete connection and surrounding equipment.
