ESAB welding blankets are colour coded

An ESAB product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Sep 30, 2009

ESAB has introduced a range of welding blankets in heat and flame-resistant fabrics.

The colour-coded (dependent on application) blankets provide protection from grinding/welding sparks, slag and drops of molten metal.

ESAB advise that when selecting the most suitable blanket for the application, the following factors should be considered: Positioning of the blanket: sparks hitting a blanket that is positioned horizontally will put extra stress on the material and a stronger and more heat resistant blanket should be used.

Work application: for light-duty welding or cutting, a thinner and less heat-resistant blanket can be used.

For heavy-duty welding or cutting when the blanket is exposed to drops of molten metal then a more durable blanket should be used.

Flexibility: the weight of the blanket indicates how flexible the fabric is.

A lighter blanket makes it easier to protect small pipes and components where it's necessary to wrap the blanket.
