1) Guide of welding blanket chosen.

Light duty welding blanket (13OZ to 18OZ): general purpose welding, light sparks, minimal spatter

Medium duty welding blanket (20OZ to 30OZ): heavier welding, sparks, light slag

Heavy duty welding blanket (32OZ to 50OZ): heavy sparks, spatter, lag, possibility of molten metal

2) Difference between coated welding blankets and uncoated welding blankets:

-Coated fabrics offer better abrasion and burn through resistance. They are stiffer which allow spatter and slag to roll off more easily.

-Uncoated fabrics are more pliable and are easier to drape over and wrap around objects.

3) What welding blanket weight and thickness to use:

The performance of welding blankets depends on many factors. However, generally heavier and thicker welding blankets provide better protection and take longer to burn though.

4) Welding blanket for horizontal or vertical welding application:

For vertical welding blanket application, thinner fabrics may be used. For horizontal or flat welding blanket application, heavier fabrics and higher melting temperature fabrics should be used.
