195502 - Miller Induction Insulation Blanket for 26-Inch Pipe PWHT

Optimized Thermal Control for Critical Pipe Welding

The Miller 195502 Insulation Blanket is a critical component for professionals utilizing induction heating systems for Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) and preheating applications. Specifically engineered to fit 26-inch diameter pipes, this blanket measures 24 inches in width and 91 inches in length, providing the exact coverage necessary to maintain thermal uniformity across the heat-affected zone. In the realm of industrial welding, maintaining precise temperature gradients is essential for code compliance and structural integrity; this insulation layer plays a pivotal role by minimizing heat loss to the environment and maximizing energy transfer to the workpiece.

Beyond thermal efficiency, the blanket serves a dual purpose as a protective barrier. Induction heating cables and coils are significant investments, and direct contact with high-temperature piping can lead to premature degradation or failure. The Miller 195502 acts as a robust thermal shield, sitting between the hot pipe surface and the induction coils. This sewn construction is designed for durability, allowing for repeated use in harsh field environments such as refineries, power plants, and pipeline construction sites. By ensuring that the heat remains concentrated within the pipe wall, the system operates more efficiently, reducing power consumption and cycle times.

Integration with Miller ProHeat 35 systems is seamless. The blanket's flexibility allows it to wrap snugly around the pipe circumference, creating a stable base for coil placement. Whether performing hydrogen bake-outs, preheating for high-alloy welding, or conducting stress relief on heavy-wall piping, this accessory ensures that your thermal processing meets the highest standards of quality and safety. It is an indispensable tool for welding engineers and technicians demanding reliability in their heat treatment procedures.
