ABSTRACT:
A safety shield for capturing corrosive fluids escaping from a joint formed in a piping system consists of first and second shroud members releasably joined to form an enclosured chamber in assembled position about the pipe joint. The chamber includes at least one aperture which is sized and shaped to form a vapor-tight seal around the pipe. Preferably, the safety shield includes an outlet for discharging any fluid which may accumulate in the chamber. Optionally, devices may be attached in communication with the interior of the chamber for determining the physical conditions therein.
