Heavy-Duty Carbon Fibre Welding Shield
The STEINER 317-6X8 is a carbon fibre welding blanket measuring 8 ft by 6 ft. It weighs 24 oz per square yard and is 0.25 in thick. The material is uncoated and coloured black. It is rated for continuous exposure up to 1,800 Degrees F and carries FM Approved certification. This heavy-duty shield protects work areas from heat, slag, sparks, spatter and abrasion during welding and cutting tasks.
Who Benefits and Who Should Look Elsewhere
Professional welders and fabricators who need a large, high-temperature barrier for flatwork will find the dimensions and 1,800 Degrees F rating suitable. The heavy-duty construction resists repeated slag and spatter impact. Buyers who require grommets for hanging or tying down the blanket cannot use this model as supplied. Shops needing a lighter drape for vertical curtain use or a smaller size for confined spaces should consider alternative protective materials.
Critical Specification — Temperature Rating
The decisive figure is the 1,800 Degrees F maximum temperature rating combined with the 24 oz/sq yd carbon fibre construction. This pairing determines whether the blanket survives the specific heat load and mechanical abuse of your welding process. If your application exceeds this thermal limit or demands a lighter weight for frequent repositioning, this blanket will not perform as required.

Questions about this item
How can I verify the blanket is performing correctly after hanging it for the first time?
After setup, confirm the carbon fiber material lies flat at its full 8 ft by 6 ft dimensions with no curling edges. During welding, the surface should repel sparks and spatter without glowing or charring, and the 0.25 in thickness should feel firm and consistent across the sheet.
What comes with the blanket and what must I supply myself?
The package contains the single 24 oz/sq yd carbon fiber welding blanket measuring 8 ft wide by 6 ft high. It has no grommet holes, so you must provide your own hanging hardware such as chains, hooks, or a frame to suspend it safely.
Which version of this blanket should I choose for heavy-duty shop use?
The 317 model rated for 1,800 °F with a heavy duty rating and FM Approved listing is the version supplied. Its 24 oz/sq yd carbon fiber construction delivers the abrasion, heat, slag, spark and spatter resistance needed for continuous industrial welding.
