194951 - Miller 10-Inch Pipe Induction Insulation Blanket

Miller 194951 Insulation Blanket for 10-Inch Pipe PWHT

The Miller 194951 is a specialized insulation blanket designed for use with induction heating systems, specifically tailored for 10-inch pipe applications. In the realm of industrial welding and Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT), maintaining precise temperature control and protecting equipment is paramount. This blanket serves a dual purpose: it provides the necessary thermal barrier to maintain the workpiece temperature during the heating cycle, and it acts as a protective layer between the hot pipe and the liquid-cooled induction coils (or air-cooled blankets).

Measuring 18 inches by 43 inches, this blanket is pre-cut to wrap perfectly around standard 10-inch pipes, streamlining the setup process for operators. Unlike bulk ceramic fiber or wool that requires manual cutting and often results in waste or inconsistent coverage, the Miller 194951 ensures a uniform fit every time. This uniformity is critical for achieving consistent heating profiles, which is a strict requirement for many code-quality welds in industries such as petrochemical, power generation, and pipeline construction.

The material construction is engineered to withstand the high temperatures associated with stress relieving and preheating processes. By effectively insulating the pipe, the system requires less energy to maintain the target soak temperature, thereby increasing the efficiency of the ProHeat power source. Furthermore, the blanket protects the induction cables from direct conductive heat transfer and physical abrasion against the rough surface of the pipe or weld seam. This extends the lifespan of the expensive induction cables and ensures safe operation.

This accessory is an essential component for any fleet utilizing Miller ProHeat 35 systems for pipe fabrication. It represents a professional solution to heat management, replacing ad-hoc insulation methods with a reliable, reusable, and purpose-built product. Whether used for preheating to prevent hydrogen cracking or for PWHT to reduce residual stresses, the Miller 194951 insulation blanket delivers the performance and durability required in harsh field environments.
