Please consider the following when choosing a welding blanket:
- 1. What type of work will you be doing?
- Light Duty-general welding, light sparks and spatter
- Medium Duty-heavier welding applications, sparks, spatter, light slag
- Heavy Duty-heavy sparks, spatter, slag, molten metal
- Extreme Duty-extra heavy spatter, slag, molten metal
- 0 to 1000ºF-non-coated fiberglass materials
- 1000ºF or more-silica and vermiculite products
WELDING
STRESS RELIEF-NON-COATED MATERIALS ONLY
- 2. Is your welding application vertical or flat?
- Vertical application materials can be lighter weight and lower melt temperatures
- Flat application materials need to be heavier weight and higher melt temperatures
- 3. Which material stiffness and thickness is appropriate?
- Stiff Materials are coated to allow spatter and slag to roll off easier, softer materials work well for wrapping objects for stress relief
- Thicker materials take longer to burn through
- 4. Does your application involve abrasion?"
- If so, consider stiffer, coated materials
