HI TEMP
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about HI TEMP from 3G Electric.
What materials are used in HI TEMP welding blankets and pads?
HI TEMP welding blankets and pads are primarily constructed from silicone-coated fiberglass or silica cloth. The silicone-coated fiberglass provides a durable, flexible barrier that resists sparks and molten metal splatter. Silica cloth variants offer higher temperature resistance, suitable for prolonged exposure to intense heat. Both materials are designed to withstand the thermal demands of welding and cutting operations without degrading quickly.
What sizes are available for HI TEMP welding pads?
HI TEMP welding pads are available in several standard dimensions. Common sizes include 2 ft wide by 6 ft long, 5 ft wide by 6 ft long, and 5 ft wide by 7 ft long. These pads are typically 1 inch thick and come without fasteners, allowing users to secure them as needed. For larger coverage, HI TEMP also offers blanket rolls in widths such as 39.25 inches and 5 ft, with lengths up to 150 ft.
Are HI TEMP welding blankets suitable for outdoor use?
HI TEMP welding blankets made from silicone-coated fiberglass are generally suitable for outdoor use, as the silicone coating provides some resistance to moisture and UV exposure. However, prolonged exposure to rain or direct sunlight may degrade the material over time. Silica-cloth blankets are more sensitive to moisture and should be stored dry. For outdoor applications, consider using the silicone-coated variants and inspect them regularly for wear.
Do HI TEMP welding pads come with fasteners or attachment hardware?
No, HI TEMP welding pads are typically supplied without fasteners or attachment hardware. The pads are designed to be placed or secured using the user's own methods, such as clamps, magnets, or weights. This allows flexibility in how the pad is positioned on different surfaces or structures. If integrated fasteners are required, users may need to add them separately based on the specific job site requirements.
What is the temperature rating of HI TEMP silicone-coated fiberglass blankets?
HI TEMP silicone-coated fiberglass blankets are generally rated for continuous use up to approximately 1000°F (538°C), with intermittent exposure to higher temperatures possible depending on the duration and conditions. The exact temperature tolerance can vary based on the specific product model and thickness. For applications exceeding this range, HI TEMP silica-cloth blankets offer higher heat resistance, typically up to 1800°F (982°C) or more.
