Standard FME Tarps | Foreign Material Exclusion Tarps for Equipment & Work Areas
Alphasource Standard FME Tarps provide a simple and effective method for protecting equipment, components, tools, and work areas from foreign material intrusion during maintenance, outages, turnarounds, and construction activities. Designed for Foreign Material Exclusion (FME) programs, these tarps help create a protective barrier that reduces the risk of debris, dust, loose hardware, and other contaminants entering critical systems.
Constructed from durable 200-denier material, Standard FME Tarps can be used to cover individual components, large equipment assemblies, or entire work benches containing parts and tooling. Optional brass, stainless steel, or plastic grommets allow secure installation, while reinforced buttonholes provide additional attachment options for demanding applications. Document pockets are available for traceability and work package control. Custom sizes are manufactured in Alphasource's Philadelphia facility to meet unique site requirements.
These tarps are widely used in nuclear power generation, fossil generation, manufacturing facilities, aerospace maintenance operations, and industrial construction projects where strict FME controls are required to protect equipment reliability and operational safety.
