  • Mesh for Screening a User from Direct Impact of a High Pressure Fluid by Diffusing the Fluid Stream
    Publication number: 20160265719
    Abstract: A mesh for use in screening a user from direct impact of a high pressure fluid J is adapted for receiving and diffusing S the high pressure fluid therethrough when positioned in relation to a location P from which the high pressure fluid issues. The mesh can form part of a screening apparatus that comprises a frame for supporting the mesh in a spaced relationship to the location P from which the high pressure fluid issues. The mesh and apparatus can be employed in a method in which the high pressure fluid is diffused at a first location that is spaced with respect to a second location from which the high pressure fluid issues.

  • Mesh for Screening a User from Direct Impact of a High Pressure Fluid by Diffusing the Fluid Stream
    Publication number: 20120145259
    Abstract: A mesh (10) for use in screening a user from direct impact of a high pressure fluid J is adapted for receiving and diffusing S the high pressure fluid therethrough when positioned in relation to a location P from which the high pressure fluid issues. The mesh (10) can form part of a screening apparatus that comprises a frame (72) for supporting the mesh in a spaced relationship to the location P from which the high pressure fluid issues. The mesh and apparatus can be employed in a method in which the high pressure fluid is diffused at a first location that is spaced with respect to a second location from which the high pressure fluid issues.
