Get Yourself the Best Welding Safety Eyewear

Description: Discover the importance of welding safety eyewear and ensure your eyes are protected with reliable and high-quality welding safety goggles from trusted sources.

One cannot underestimate the significance of welders in the economy with more than half of manufacturing and metal fabrication products in the United States heavily depending on welding. However, without the appropriate protective eyewear, welding can present serious dangers. It is one of the leading causes of eye injuries in the workplace.

For more information, please visit welding safety goggles.

As welders carry on with their work, their eyes are exposed to "welder's flash" which includes Ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can induce conditions such as photokeratitis or ultraviolet keratitis. These symptoms might not appear immediately, taking about 6-12 hours to manifest, primarily causing pain. Although UV keratitis is a temporary condition, prolonged UV or IR exposure can lead to permanent eye damage or even total blindness.

Welders shouldn't have to abandon their careers due to eye issues caused by "welder's flash". Therefore, it's crucial to invest in high-quality and dependable welding safety equipment. Opting for welding safety equipment from VS Eyewear is a wise choice to ensure eye safety and job performance.

Marianne,

You need to try to find out what kind of glass is in your goggles. Typically, for arc #10 welding glass is needed. For kiln work, #5 welding glass is fine. Both protect your eyes from dangerous, long-wavelength, infrared light.

Glad you are protecting your eyesight!

I bought some welding goggles today to use to look at the cones in the kiln. They only cost $15.00 so I don't know how good they are but they look like the same thing in Tucker's catalog.

However, even though the package says Welding Goggles, the label inside says "do not use for arc welding, lasers, or other sources of intense radiant energy". Whatever that means.

Do they sound like they will be OK for peeking into the spyholes?

Marianne,

I am not sure if I can answer your question. Because I had difficulty "reading" cones in my electric kiln, Arnold Howard gave me specific instructions on what I needed to see and protect. I bought my glasses from Paragon for (I think) about $15.00; they work beautifully. Check with Arnold at Paragon.

Marianne,

I do not know how well your goggles will work to protect you, but just had to pass on again what works for me.

At any glass-blowers' supply house, and many welding supply houses, you can get Didymium safety lenses, which are nominally for glass-blowers' protection. These have just a light pink tint to them, so cones are easily seen, but they afford complete protection in the infra-red spectrum (the portion that hurts your eyes). You can have them mounted (they also come mounted) in a safety-frame. Used them for 35 years now, and glad of it.

Good Hunting, Hank

Which leads to my question. I couldn't find welding goggles per se here in Costa Rica the last couple of days so I bought a welding mask. Essentially, it seems to be very dark glass. There was a big choice of numbers that indicated how dark the glass was. I bought a 10 which was the number through which I could barely make out the store's burning electric lights. Does this sound safe for looking at cones through the peep hole?

Thanks,

Martin

Marianne,

Yes, they will be fine for peering into kilns. The warning on the box is very important because the arc-welding glare and lasers are FAR brighter than any studio kiln and can blind you in a very short time if you are not wearing proper protection. Arc welding helmets have glass which is MUCH darker than the gas welding/cutting goggles you purchased.

Best wishes,

Vince

I was told to get gas welding goggles that turn everything green, and not to use arc welding glasses. Not sure why, but I don't think you can see very much with the arc welding variety. The $15.00 price seems roughly in the ballpark.

There's welding, and then there's WELDING! Goggles which are fine for oxy-acetylene welding are utterly inadequate for arc welding. They will be fine for kiln-viewing, though.

Sounds like overkill, actually! Even at ^10, a kiln is nowhere near as bright as arc welding. A less-dark lens will be fine. If you can see your cones OK with it, keep it, but if you can't, you may want to exchange it for a lighter-colored lens.

Remember, the darkness is for your convenience in seeing. It's not what stops the harmful radiation, which isn't in the visible spectrum. That's why the almost-clear glassblowers' glasses are just as good for safety. (They're what I use.)

Marianne, you asked about using welding glasses that warn: "do not use for arc welding, lasers, or other sources of intense radiant energy". Whatever that means.

It means kilns at and above visible red heat emit intense radiant energy so these glasses may not be suitable. I'm sure others will weigh in with their opinion.

Does anyone have any experience with the auto-darkening welding goggles/helmet? The hardest part of welding for me is seeing what I am about to weld.

Complete overkill. You won't be able to see the cones at all. Pass this on to someone doing arc welding, and buy some gas welding goggles/glasses.
