198670 - Miller Induction Blanket Protective Sleeve for 48-Inch Pipe

Protective Sleeve for Industrial Induction Heating

The Miller 198670 Induction Blanket Sleeve is a specialized accessory engineered to safeguard induction heating blankets during preheating and stress-relieving operations. Designed specifically for use on 48-inch diameter pipes, this sleeve provides a durable barrier between the heating blanket and the workpiece. In industrial welding environments, heating equipment is frequently exposed to rough surfaces, sharp edges, and molten spatter, all of which can degrade the insulation and integrity of induction coils.

Measuring 7.5 inches in width and 166 inches in length, this sleeve covers the standard induction blanket utilized in Miller's induction heating systems (such as the ProHeat 35). By acting as a sacrificial layer, the sleeve absorbs the friction and abrasion that would otherwise damage the expensive blanket itself. This not only extends the service life of your heating consumables but also ensures consistent thermal transfer and system reliability during critical pipe fabrication tasks.

Regular use of protective sleeves is a best practice in MRO and heavy fabrication sectors, minimizing downtime caused by equipment failure and reducing long-term replacement costs. The Miller 198670 is manufactured to meet the high standards of Miller Electric, ensuring a proper fit and robust performance in demanding field conditions.
