Flame-retardant welding blankets are a boon for welders working in all types of weather but can be particularly useful in the freezing cold climates found during the Canadian winters. Made from a range of materials including fiberglass fabric, silicate, vermiculite, or clay, the blanket materials provide different technical features to help protect against massive temperature changes. Maintaining a more consistent temperature while welded objects are cooling helps reduce the possibility of breakage at the weld site, allowing the bond to set more slowly and producing a stronger final product.
Benefits and Applications of Welding Blankets
Welding blankets, also known as cooling blankets, have a canvas exterior with a 1″ flat elastic strap and metal “S” hooks to help keep blankets in place on a pipe. With a full inch of fibreglass insulation inside each welding blanket, you can be confident that they will meet the rating requirements of 538C – 815C with ease. Proline Pipe Equipment offers welding blankets in a variety of sizes from 9″ to 12″ and in lengths of 28″ to 50″ — with larger diameters available upon request. These cooling blankets come in a standard beige colour and meet military specifications as follows: MIL C 20079H Type 1 Class 9. If you need larger welding blankets, the team of professionals at Proline Pipe Equipment will work with you to create a custom size that meets the unique needs of your project.
