How to select the right helmet
-
How much of your time consists of direct welding?
When performing many non-welding tasks, you might like a helmet that combine a protective visor with a flip-up welding filter, especially when needing respiratory protection as you don’t need to remove your respiratory protection.
-
What other PPE is needed?
When working in areas with overhead hazards you might benefit from a welding helmet with flexible head protection. There are ear plugs available for most situations, however if there is a need of ear-muffs you might need to consider a helmet that has a design that does not interfere when using ear muffs.
-
Optical performance?
With an auto-darkening filter (ADF) you keep the helmet down and the filter consistently auto-switch from clear to dark, within 0.1 ms of the arc strike.
