Abstract: A protector and a method are for protecting a fitting by a protector. The protector includes a substantially round body being closed at its outer wall and its bottom, having an opening, and being suitable to be imposed with its opening on an exposed fitting in the form of a substantially round, flange-like disk. The body includes a device for a pre-fixation of the cap on the disk.

Abstract: The invention relates to a spray protection ring for pipe flanges consisting of a clamping wall, which covers the flange crack when placed on the peripheral surfaces of the flange. An annular connector (9) protrudes radially inwards from the clamping band. A radial and axial element (11) is joined to this connector, and serves as a spacer for an annular screen-like element (12) which extends around the periphery and acts as a valve. The connector (9) and the connected element (11) have a plurality of slits (50) distributed around the periphery. These slits (50) are out-of-line in peripheral direction in relation to a plurality of slits (40) distributed around the periphery of the screen (12). Before mounting, the axial extension of the screen (12) is slightly greater than the distance between the facing flange surfaces (20, 21).
