Equipment / Pipe Covers

Recommended construction
Fibreglass, silicone-coated or aluminized construction
Key selection factors
Surface temperature, geometry, fastening

Material, coating and construction should be selected against actual operating conditions. Temperature performance, flame resistance and service life depend on the specific fabric, coating, thickness and exposure. BGF can support application-specific selection.

Custom engineering

BGF can manufacture blankets and covers to customer-specified length, width, thickness, material, coating, edge reinforcement, eyelets, grommets, straps, hooks and other fastening arrangements. Custom constructions can be developed for welding bays, equipment, pipes, vessels, furnace areas and other industrial hot-work zones.
