KP1981-3 - Lincoln Electric Shade 10 Glass Filter Plate 2x4.25 KP1981-3

Lincoln Electric KP1981-3 Filter Plate Super Visibility No 10 Shade

The Lincoln Electric KP1981-3 Filter Plate is a premium passive welding lens designed for professional welders who demand superior optical quality. Manufactured from high-grade glass, this "Super Visibility" filter plate provides a level of clarity that plastic alternatives often cannot match. The glass construction ensures a stable, distortion-free view of the weld puddle, which is critical for high-precision applications such as pipeline welding and structural fabrication. With a fixed Shade 10 rating, it offers standard protection for a wide variety of amperage ranges and welding processes, including Stick, MIG, and TIG welding.

Measuring a standard 2 inches by 4.25 inches, this filter plate is engineered to fit a broad range of traditional welding hoods, including the popular "pipeliner" style helmets and "pancake" shields favored in the oil and gas industry. The use of glass not only improves visual acuity but also offers superior resistance to scratching and pitting from spatter, provided it is properly protected by clear cover lenses. This durability makes the KP1981-3 a cost-effective choice for industrial environments where equipment is subjected to harsh conditions.

Professionals in the field understand that visibility is key to weld quality. The Lincoln Electric Super Visibility series is designed to reduce eye strain by filtering the arc light effectively while maintaining high contrast. This allows the operator to see the joint seam and electrode manipulation with greater ease. Whether you are working in a fabrication shop or out in the field on a pipeline, the KP1981-3 delivers the consistent performance expected from Lincoln Electric products.
