Welding Helmet

A welding helmet is a type of personal protective equipment (PPE) that is worn by welders to protect their face and eyes from the intense light and heat generated by welding. Welding helmets have a dark visor that covers the face and are designed to protect the welder from ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, as well as from sparks and other flying debris.

Welding helmets typically consist of a hard shell that covers the head and a visor that can be adjusted to different angles. The visor is made of a dark-tinted material, such as polycarbonate or glass, that protects the welder's eyes from the bright light of the welding arc.

Modern welding helmets come with an auto-darkening feature, which automatically adjust the shade level according to the intensity of the welding arc. This feature allows the welder to see clearly while not welding and then quickly switch to the appropriate level of shade when the welding process starts.

Welding helmets are essential for protecting the welder from the intense light and heat generated during welding, as well as protecting their eyes from the UV and IR radiation emitted during the process. They are used in a variety of settings, including construction, manufacturing, and repair work.
