PTST4505X5 - Steiner Protect-O-Screen 5x5 Modular Welding Curtain System

Modular Safety & Compliance Solution

The Steiner PTST450 5' x 5' Program System Welding Screen is a professional-grade safety barrier designed to assist industrial facilities in meeting OSHA requirements for arc flash and spark containment. This modular system features a robust tubular steel frame measuring 5 feet by 5 feet, providing a substantial protective area for isolating welding operations from general shop traffic. The included curtain is manufactured from high-quality tinted vinyl, engineered to filter harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation emitted during the welding process, thereby preventing 'arc eye' and other radiation-related injuries to nearby personnel.

The 'Program System' designation refers to the screen's modular capability. Unlike static barriers, this unit is designed with connectivity in mind. The frame includes hardware and connection points that allow multiple screens to be joined together in straight lines, corners, or cubicles. This flexibility is essential for dynamic manufacturing environments where cell layouts may change based on production needs. The frame itself is constructed from durable square steel tubing, finished with a rust-resistant coating to withstand the harsh conditions of industrial MRO environments. The platform legs are designed to minimize tripping hazards while providing excellent stability against drafts and accidental bumps.

In terms of thermal performance, the curtain material is rated for exposure up to approximately 450°F, making it suitable for general welding applications where direct contact with molten slag is minimal but radiant heat and sparks are a concern. This system is an integral component of any comprehensive welding safety program, ensuring that hazardous zones are clearly demarcated and contained.
