  • The Eye
DEF

An eye protection device that fits tightly against the face to provide an airtight seal.

CONT

Safety goggles are intended to shield the wearer's eyes from impact hazards such as flying fragments, objects, large chips, and particles. Goggles fit the face immediately surrounding the eyes and form a protective seal around the eyes. This prevents objects from entering under or around the goggles.

Record 2 2016-03-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Rolling Stock (Railroads)
CONT

The majority of the tank cars exhibited impact damage... on the top portion of at least [one] head. This is not unexpected, as most of these cars came to rest on their sides, thereby bringing the top portion of the heads closer to the ground and increasing the probability of impacts with objects such as rail, couplers, and body bolsters. A full-head shield would have been beneficial, as half-head shields protect only the bottom portion of the head.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel roulant (Chemins de fer)
CONT

La majorité des wagons-citernes montraient des signes de dommages attribuables aux chocs [...] à la partie supérieure d’au moins [une] tête. Cela n’a rien d’inattendu puisque la plupart de ces wagons s’étaient immobilisés sur le côté, ce qui a rapproché la partie supérieure des têtes du sol et a augmenté la probabilité de heurts avec des objets tels que des rails, des attelages et des traverses pivots. Un bouclier protecteur complet se serait avéré utile, puisque les demi-boucliers ne protègent que la partie inférieure de la tête.

Record 3 2000-06-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
  • Transport of Oil and Natural Gas
  • Petroleum Technology - Safety
DEF

... protection where pipeline coatings are subjected to rocky terrain, mountain handling, excessive abrasion and damaging backfills.

CONT

Pipe Saver Rock Shield helps maintain cathodic flow in natural gas and oil pipelines. The durable plastic mesh is wrapped around the pipe to protect against debris and rock damage during back filling and against problems that certain soil conditions can cause after pipe is installed.

CONT

Rockshield Testing. Description. Tuff-N-Nuff is a non-woven mat consisting of small diameter(approximately 0. 050") strands of PVC. The strands are bonded to each other in a controlled random pattern. The rock shield protects pipe coatings from direct impact during backfilling operations. It also provides long term protection by keeping hard objects in the backfill away from the pipe coating during operation of the line. Pipe may move laterally as well as longitudinally, and the rock shield is the first line of defense against damage to the coating and the pipe.

CONT

Rock shield for pipeline construction.
