Welding masks

Welding masks
Ensuring the safety of workers in production is the most important task, and the profession of a welder belongs to the category of dangerous, so work equipment and welding masks must be of the highest quality. Safety during welding works is expensive - as well as incorrectly selected protective equipment. Therefore, before choosing and buying a welding mask in Ukraine, you need to find out in what temperature range the work will take place, and depending on the type of welding, determine the appropriate type of light filters.
How to choose a welding mask
The correct choice of welding shield affects the efficiency of the welder's work, helps to avoid retinal burns and other injuries. Filters that are used in modern welding shields are coated with a special coating that protects welders from ultraviolet and infrared rays, as well as protects against scratches, cracks and abrasions.

The material from which the welding mask is made must be heat-resistant, as sparks and metal splashes will constantly fall on it.

According to the type of blackout, protective equipment is divided into:

Traditional inexpensive helmets with a lifting light filter. The filter is raised to check the quality of the seam, and to return to the welding, it is lowered manually or simply nodded.
A welder's helmet with auto-darkening, it is more convenient if the welder himself has to carry out auxiliary work, and is considered safer.

If you have to work in the cold, you need to buy a mask for fighting, which can be used at a large disadvantage, since not all products can withstand severe cold for a long time.
Dimensions and weight

The weight and size of the welding mask is important, because during a long period of work, a heavy helmet will cause discomfort to the worker, which can slow down the reaction or distract attention.
At the same time, the large dimensions of the welding mask allow you to protect not only the face, but also the neck and upper chest.
High-quality modern welding helmets can be precisely adjusted to fit any head size, the fit depth can be changed - in this case, it will be easier for the welder to work and maintain maneuverability. The external adjustment allows you to adjust the helmet during operation without removing the protection.

Welding mask with automatic light filter
Shields with an automatic light filter, for example, the Chameleon welding helmet, are in great demand among welders. The filter is instantly darkened when the working arc is ignited, and controls the degree of darkening of the shield depending on the brightness of the arc. Protective helmets with such filters perfectly cope with their duties during semi-automatic or manual welding. The level of darkness is regulated, and with minimal darkness it is possible to prepare before the fight without removing the mask or raising the shield.

The price of Chameleon welding masks and other auto-darkening products is higher than that of traditional masks. But they are convenient in that the worker does not have to ignite the arc at random, since the light filter darkens only after it is lit. The proximity of other welding works also affects the degree of darkening.
How to buy a mask for a fight in Kiev
The prices of welding masks and helmets depend on the manufacturer, on the material from which the body is made, on the quality of the fastening and the features of the lenses. But this is not the item of equipment on which it is worth saving, because an incorrectly selected light filter is fraught with rapid deterioration of vision.

To decide which welder's mask to buy, you need to take into account the type of work that the welder will do, the duration of the welding. It is worth taking into account even the size of the room where the work is carried out, so as not to buy a helmet that is too bulky, in which it will be difficult for the worker to get to the place of the quarrel.
