Steiner 316-6X8 Carbon Fiber Welding Blanket 6x8 Ft

Product Description

The STEINER 316-6X8 is a carbonized fiber welding blanket designed to protect personnel, equipment, and surrounding work areas from welding spatter, sparks, and radiant heat. Measuring 6 feet wide by 8 feet tall and ranging from 0.15 to 0.2 inches thick, this blanket is built for demanding fabrication and maintenance environments. The carbonized fiber construction weighs 16 ounces per square yard, delivering a balance of flexibility and thermal mass. It is rated for a maximum heat exposure of 1800 degrees F, with a continuous service temperature of 200 degrees F. Welders, pipefitters, ironworkers, and maintenance technicians use this blanket as a standard weld curtain or drop blanket on the job site.

This welding blanket is suited for use in industrial fabrication shops, construction sites, and facility maintenance applications where hot work permits are required. Its 6 by 8 foot coverage area makes it practical for shielding adjacent equipment, flooring, and structural elements during arc welding, cutting, and grinding operations. The blanket meets FM standards, making it appropriate for use in environments with strict fire protection requirements. It is used as a barrier blanket, a heat shield draped over nearby materials, or laid flat as a ground cover beneath overhead welding work.

Key Features

• Carbonized fiber construction rated to 1800 degrees F maximum heat exposure
• Continuous service temperature of 200 degrees F for repeated thermal cycling
• 16 oz per square yard material weight for durable, flexible coverage
• Dimensions of 6 feet wide by 8 feet tall with 0.15 to 0.2 inch thickness
• FM-rated construction meets fire protection standards for hot work environments
• Black carbonized fiber resists burn-through from weld spatter and sparks

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose carbonized fiber welding blanket suitable for arc welding, cutting, and grinding applications in industrial and commercial settings where FM-compliant fire protection barriers are required.

Installation Notes

Deployment of this welding blanket should follow the requirements of the applicable hot work permit and facility fire protection plan. Ensure all ignition sources are identified and the blanket is fully positioned before welding or cutting begins. Inspect the blanket for burn-through damage or thinning before each use and remove from service if structural integrity is compromised. No special tools are required for positioning, but securing edges with clamps or magnets is common practice to prevent shifting during overhead or vertical work.
