Steiner 316-18X18 Carbon Fiber Welding Blanket 18x18

Product Description

The STEINER 316-18X18 is a carbonized fiber welding blanket rated for intermittent heat exposure up to 1800 degrees F and continuous service up to 200 degrees F. Measuring 18 inches high by 18 inches wide, this compact blanket is sized for tight work areas where standard large-format blankets are impractical. At 0.25 pounds and a material weight of 16 ounces per square yard, it delivers meaningful thermal protection without adding bulk to a tool kit. The uncoated black carbonized fiber construction is FM-rated and is installed by welders, pipefitters, and ironworkers in both shop and field environments.

This blanket is suited for use in residential and commercial welding applications where a lightweight heat barrier is needed to protect adjacent surfaces, wiring, insulation, or combustible materials during hot work operations. Its 18-by-18-inch footprint makes it a practical choice for confined spaces, inline pipe work, and small-scale fabrication tasks. The absence of grommets keeps the profile clean for flat-lay or drape applications where tie-off points are not required.

Key Features

• Carbonized fiber construction rated to 1800 degrees F intermittent heat exposure
• Continuous service rating of 200 degrees F for sustained heat shield applications
• Material weight of 16 oz per square yard for durable thermal protection
• Uncoated finish maintains flexibility across a range of working temperatures
• FM-rated construction meets recognized fire protection standards
• Compact 18-inch by 18-inch size fits tight work zones and confined spaces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose carbonized fiber welding blanket for hot work applications requiring an FM-rated heat barrier in compact form factor installations.

Installation Notes

Welding blankets of this type are typically placed or draped by the welding technician or pipefitter performing hot work. Ensure all ignition sources are cleared from the work area before positioning the blanket. Inspect the blanket for damage or degradation before each use, as carbonized fiber can lose integrity after prolonged exposure near the upper temperature threshold. Follow applicable NFPA hot work permit requirements when working in occupied or regulated structures.
