194812 - Miller Induction Heating Sleeve for 34-Inch Pipe

Optimize Your Heat Treatment with the Miller 194812 Sleeve

For professional welders and heat treatment technicians working on large-scale piping projects, the Miller 194812 Induction Blanket Sleeve is an essential tool for ensuring a smooth and effective preheat or stress relief process. Designed to fit 34-inch pipes, this sleeve takes the hassle out of setting up induction blankets on large diameter workpieces. With dimensions of 9.0 inches by 120 inches, it provides the perfect fit for your heating elements, keeping them secure and protected against the rough surfaces of industrial pipe.

Built for the Job Site

Field environments are tough on equipment. Dragging heating blankets across rusted, scaled, or rough pipe surfaces can lead to premature wear, insulation damage, and potential failure of the heating coil. This sleeve serves as a rugged sacrificial layer, absorbing the friction and abrasion so your expensive induction blankets don't have to. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop or out on a pipeline right-of-way, using the 194812 sleeve helps maintain the condition of your gear, ensuring it is ready for the next joint every time.

Consistent Heating Results

Achieving a uniform temperature profile is the goal of any induction heating setup. A loose or poorly fitted blanket can result in cold spots or uneven heating, which can compromise the weld quality and lead to inspection failures. The Miller 194812 sleeve helps hold the blanket in the correct position around the 34-inch pipe, ensuring consistent coupling distance and thermal transfer. This reliability allows you to focus on the weld puddle rather than worrying about whether your preheat temperature is fluctuating due to equipment shifting.

Easy Installation and Setup

Time is money on any welding project. The Miller 194812 is designed for straightforward application. Its dimensions are calculated to wrap around standard 34-inch pipes with ease, allowing for quick setup and teardown of the induction system. This efficiency is vital when moving from joint to joint on a tight schedule. By using the correct accessory for the pipe size, you eliminate the struggle of trying to make ill-fitting gear work, reducing operator fatigue and improving overall productivity. Trust in Miller's engineering to provide the accessories that make the welder's job easier and the final product better.
