Clear lenses for welding helmets are used to protect the welder's eyes from the bright light of the welding arc, but they do not darken like the traditional welding lens. This allows the welder to see their workpiece clearly, without having to constantly flip up the helmet. Clear lenses are typically made of polycarbonate or tempered glass, and they are impact-resistant to protect the welder's eyes from flying sparks and debris.
Clear lenses are not suitable for all welding applications. They should only be used for low-amperage welding, such as MIG welding or stick welding. For high-amperage welding, such as arc welding, a darker lens is required to protect the welder's eyes from the harmful rays emitted by the arc.
Here are some of the benefits of using clear lenses for welding helmets:
- They allow the welder to see their workpiece clearly, without having to constantly flip up the helmet.
- They are impact-resistant to protect the welder's eyes from flying sparks and debris.
- They are lighter and more comfortable to wear than traditional welding lenses.
- They are less expensive than traditional welding lenses.
Here are some of the limitations of using clear lenses for welding helmets:
- They are not suitable for all welding applications.
- They do not provide as much protection from the harmful rays emitted by the welding arc as traditional welding lenses.
Overall, clear lenses for welding helmets can be a good option for welders who need to see their workpiece clearly, but they should be used with caution and only for low-amperage welding applications.
