Indispensable Welding Tools Include Helmets And Clothing

by Kenny Marcum

Without the correct welding tools, the process can be hazardous for both professional and amateur welders. Items such as jackets, gloves, aprons and helmets make such work much safer. Helmets in particular are indispensable. The brilliance of sparks from the arcing can lead to blindness if the eyes are unprotected.

Arc eye is the name given to a condition which affects the cornea, causing pain and inflammation. The retina can also be burned by flashes from the highly concentrated infra-red and ultra-violet lights given off by welding arcs. A condition similar to sunburn can occur after a relatively short period spent working without some sort of covering. Protective clothing also protects against sparks and radiated heat.

Early face shields were designed to be held in one hand whilst trying to work with the other. Next came helmets which were worn on the head. The window in these was made from tinted glass or plastic. Because the window was so dark, the welder had to prepare his work then nod his head to drop the visor over the face.

The latest in helmets have an electronic LCD shutter. The worker can see his work through the window. When he starts to weld the window automatically darkens. This takes less than 0.2 milliseconds. Such a rapid response time gives good protection to the eyes. Batteries or solar power activate the auto-darkening. Solar-power models usually have battery backup.

A wide range of adjustments is standard on modern helmets. The head strap is easily adjusted. The level of darkness can also be varied to suit the wearer and the conditions. Whereas helmets were once cumbersome and heavy, the latest weigh a mere 460 grams.

Capes and leather skull caps deflect sparks and heat when welds are being applied overhead. Sleeves and gloves protect the hands and arms when working in enclosed spaces. Aprons or full jackets also give protection from heat, sparks and the intense rays. When looking for welding tools, safety equipment should be your first concern.
