A spray shield for a pipe flange joint for preventing spraying of fluid, flowing through the pipe flange joint, in case of gasket failure, comprising a band (2), which covers the gap (5) which is present between two flanges (7) in the pipe flange joint and a gasket (6) provided in between the flanges (7) and at least a portion of each flange (7) that adjoin the gap (5). A porous material (3), is loosely or fixedly arranged on the side of the band that faces the flanges (7), at least of a width covering the gap (5), to slow down and spread out fluid which sprays outwards in case of gasket failure. The material (3) has a capacity of partly take up fluid. Also the fluid taken up by the material (3) slows down the spraying fluid. The spraying fluid trickles from the porous material (3) outwards between the flanges (7) and the band (2).
