261480 - Miller ProHeat Induction Blanket Sleeve for 56-Inch Pipe

Industrial Grade Protection for Induction Heating Systems

The Miller 261480 Induction Blanket Sleeve is a specialized accessory engineered for the rigorous demands of industrial preheating and stress relieving applications. Designed to integrate seamlessly with Miller's ProHeat 35 Induction Heating Systems, this sleeve serves as a primary line of defense for your induction blankets. By shielding the sensitive heating elements from direct contact with the workpiece and environmental hazards, it ensures consistent performance and longevity of the equipment.

This specific model is the "Narrow" configuration, measuring 5.5 inches in width and 187 inches in length. These dimensions are calculated to fit perfectly around a 56-inch diameter pipe, providing a snug and secure fit that prevents slippage during the heating cycle. The sleeve is constructed from high-temperature resistant materials capable of withstanding the thermal cycles associated with induction heating without degrading or losing structural integrity.

In MRO (Maintenance, Repair, and Operations) environments, protecting capital equipment is paramount. Induction blankets are significant investments; damage from abrasion, weld spatter, or rough handling can lead to costly replacements and downtime. The Miller 261480 sleeve mitigates these risks by absorbing the mechanical wear that would otherwise impact the blanket directly. It is an essential component for operations involving large-bore pipe welding, petrochemical maintenance, and power generation facility repairs where induction heating is utilized for code-compliant heat treatment.

Installation is straightforward, allowing technicians to quickly secure the heating blanket to the pipe fixture. The sleeve's design accommodates the expansion and contraction inherent in heating processes, ensuring that the setup remains stable throughout the temperature ramp and soak times. For procurement specialists and facility managers, stocking these sleeves ensures that your heating crews can operate continuously without risking damage to their primary heating tools.
