300075 - Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket 10.1" x 60" for 16" Pipe

Precision Preheating for Critical Welding Applications

Achieving the correct preheat temperature is critical for preventing cracking and ensuring the metallurgical integrity of welds in high-stress applications. The Miller ProHeat Air-Cooled Induction Blanket #300075 is engineered to deliver precise, uniform heating for 16-inch pipes. With dimensions of 10.1 inches by 60 inches, this blanket wraps securely around the workpiece, utilizing induction technology to generate heat directly within the metal. This method is far superior to flame heating, offering consistency that helps welders meet strict code requirements.

Rated for temperatures up to 400°F, this blanket is ideal for preheating mild steel and low-alloy steels often found in pipeline and refinery applications. The air-cooled architecture is a major benefit for the welder in the field. It eliminates the tethering effect of water-cooled cables, providing greater freedom of movement and reducing the clutter around the weld zone. This design not only enhances safety by removing water from the electrical environment but also drastically cuts down on setup and teardown time, allowing the welding crew to focus on the arc time.

The blanket is constructed to withstand the rigors of the job site. It comes equipped with a Kevlar® sleeve, a material renowned for its high tensile strength and heat resistance. This sleeve acts as a shield against the rough surfaces of pipes and accidental contact with sharp edges, protecting the induction coils inside. Should the sleeve eventually wear out, it is replaceable, further prolonging the life of the blanket itself.

Compatible with Miller ProHeat induction heating systems, this accessory is a vital component for high-quality structural and pressure vessel welding. Its high efficiency (over 90%) means the power source runs cooler and more effectively, even on heavy-wall part applications. For welders who demand reliability and performance, the Miller 300075 induction blanket is the professional choice for maintaining interpass temperatures and ensuring weld quality.
