How much do you know about welding fire blankets?

What is a fire blanket? A fire blanket is made of new high-temperature resistant glass fiber cloth after special treatment, the product has excellent characteristics such as fireproof and high-temperature resistance. The fire blanket is soft compared with ordinary products, fireproof, heat insulation, insulation, non-stinging, and better fire extinguishing effect. The conventional colors are yellow, white, and orange. It can not only resist welding sparks, welding slag, and other splashes, etc. in welding and cutting but also block the arc light and establish a safe, clean, and standardized working space for the operator.

The protection level of welding fire blanket

A fire extinguishing blanket is suitable for homes, cars, schools, kitchens, hotels, entertainment places, shopping malls, gas stations, government units, factories, enterprise units, etc. It is a simple and quick-fire extinguishing tool, which can effectively prevent the spread of fire and fire fighting escape. In this category, there is a kind of fire blanket dedicated to welding work, we call it a welding fire blanket. According to the degree of protection and the need to protect the space form, we divided the welding blanket into three levels of protection, respectively, economic series, general series, and special series.

• Economic series: economical and practical, suitable for light welding protection or vertical welding protection, can resist welding flowers, sparks, arc light, etc.

• General series: universal, suitable for medium welding protection or vertical welding protection, can resist small welding slag.

• Special series: Suitable for heavy welding protection or vertical welding protection, can resist large welding slag and slag.

Two types of welding fire blanket protection

l Vertical protection: mainly suitable for light sparks, spatter, and ordinary high-temperature insulation protection. Generally recommended using the economic or general series of protective agent welding blankets.

l Covering protection: mainly applicable to fire insulation protection perpendicular to the ground, especially suitable for covering the protection object. Generally recommended using the general or special series of protective agent welding blankets.

The use of fire extinguishing blanket

• Put the fire blanket on the wall or in the drawer where it is more conspicuous and can be taken out quickly.

•  When a fire occurs, quickly remove the fire blanket and hold the two black pull straps in two colors.

• Shake out the fire blanket and hold it in your hand as a shield.

• Cover the fire extinguishing blanket on the flame while cutting off the power or air supply.

• Continuously cover the fire blanket over the object on fire and take active fire fighting measures until the object on fire is extinguished.

• After the object is extinguished and the blanket has cooled, wrap the blanket into a ball and dispose of it as non-combustible waste.

• If a person is on fire, shake out the blanket, drape the blanket over your own body or wrap it around the body of the person being rescued, and quickly escape the fire. If you can wear the fire extinguishing blanket after a real fire accident, then you can greatly reduce the risk of being burned.
