Welding Glass
A welding glass, also known as a welding lens or welding filter, is a specialized protective eyewear designed for use by welders to shield their eyes from intense light and harmful radiation produced during welding processes. Typically made of a tinted or shaded glass, welding glasses filter out ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation, as well as visible light, to provide adequate protection for the welder's eyes. The level of shading in welding glass is specified by a shade number, with higher numbers indicating greater protection against intense light. Welding glasses are a crucial safety measure to prevent eye injuries and conditions such as arc eye or welder's flash, which can result from exposure to the intense light generated during welding.
