Steiner 317-4X6 Carbon Fiber Welding Blanket 4x6 Ft

Product Description

The STEINER 317-4X6 is a carbonized fiber welding blanket designed to protect personnel, equipment, and work surfaces from weld spatter, sparks, and radiant heat. Measuring 4 feet wide by 6 feet tall and weighing 4 pounds, this blanket handles peak heat exposure up to 1800 degrees F while maintaining a continuous service rating of 200 degrees F. The uncoated carbonized fiber construction offers a fabric weight of 24 oz per square yard, providing substantial thermal mass in a drape-and-hang form factor. Welders, fabricators, and pipe fitters rely on it to isolate hot work zones in metal fabrication shops and on job sites.

The 317-4X6 is suited for residential and commercial welding and hot work applications where a portable, flexible heat barrier is required. Common install scenarios include shielding adjacent surfaces during MIG, TIG, and stick welding operations, as well as protecting nearby pipe runs, wiring, and structural members during torch cutting. Its black, uncoated finish resists surface contamination from typical shop environments. The blanket carries FM Approval, making it an accepted specification in many industrial and commercial facility safety programs.

Key Features

• Carbonized fiber construction rated to 1800 degrees F peak heat exposure
• Continuous service temperature of 200 degrees F for sustained proximity to heat sources
• Fabric weight of 24 oz per square yard for dense, durable thermal protection
• FM Approved — meets factory mutual fire safety standards
• Uncoated black finish — no surface treatment to crack, flake, or delaminate
• 4 x 6 foot size covers a broad work zone without requiring multiple pieces

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose welding and hot work blanket suitable for metal fabrication, pipeline, mechanical, and industrial maintenance applications where a flexible carbonized fiber heat barrier is specified.

Installation Notes

Welders and hot work personnel position this blanket by draping or hanging it adjacent to the work area before initiating any arc or flame operation. No grommet hardware is included on this model, so secure with clamps, stands, or wire ties rated for high-temperature use. Inspect the blanket before each use for tears, thinning, or contamination that could compromise thermal performance. Follow applicable OSHA hot work permit requirements and site fire watch procedures when deploying welding blankets in occupied facilities.
