    108mm x 83mm Lenses FAQs

    Practical answers on choosing, fitting and looking after the taller-format shaded, cover and backing lenses used in many fixed-shade helmets.

    Does a bigger lens need a darker shade than a smaller one?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    No. The shade you need is decided by the process and the welding current, not by the size of the lens window. Published shade charts list shade by process, current and, for gas work, plate thickness.

    A taller lens simply gives you a larger view of the work. Use a recognised shade chart for your process, start with a shade that is dark enough, and step lighter only within the recommended range. Check the helmet maker's instructions and your risk assessment.

    Do people watching or helping me need eye protection too?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Yes. Arc radiation can reach anyone nearby. People near an arc should not be exposed without adequate protection, using screens or personal eye protection, and helpers working near an arc need anti-flash glasses. Shade requirements also apply to observers such as a fire watch or an assistant.

    A helmet lens protects only the person wearing it. Use screens, or give helpers suitable eye protection, and cover this in your risk assessment.

    What are the signs of arc eye, and what should I do?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Arc eye is an inflammation of the cornea caused by ultraviolet radiation from the arc. It is an acute injury to the front of the eye. Symptoms usually appear several hours later: red, watery, painful, gritty eyes that are sensitive to light.

    The effects are usually temporary and clear up within a day or so, but get medical advice if you are worried or symptoms are severe. Prevent it by using the right shade, keeping the lens undamaged and light-tight, and screening other people.

    Can I use the same lens for plasma cutting as for MIG?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Not automatically. The shade should be chosen for the process and the cutting current, and plasma cutting is listed separately from arc welding in shade tables. Published plasma cutting values apply where the arc is clearly seen, and lighter filters may be used when the arc is hidden by the workpiece.

    Because the figures differ between sources, use the shade guidance in the plasma equipment's instructions as your starting point. Do not drop below the minimum for your current, and check with the helmet and lens maker.
