CEP932-107-13 - Shade 13 Glass Welding Lens Filter Plate 4.5x5.25

Industrial Grade Shade 13 Welding Filter Plate

For industrial operations and MRO supplies requiring reliable, standard-compliant eye protection, the Shade 13 Heat Treated Glass Filter Plate is an essential consumable. Designed to fit standard large-window welding helmets with a 4-1/2" x 5-1/4" opening, this passive lens provides a fixed level of darkness suitable for heavy-duty welding applications. Unlike auto-darkening filters which contain electronics and batteries, this passive glass plate offers a fail-safe solution for welders who prefer the consistent optical qualities of traditional glass.

The lens is manufactured from high-quality heat-treated glass. This processing significantly increases the material's thermal resistance, preventing warping or cracking when exposed to the intense radiant heat generated during high-amperage welding processes. In an industrial setting where equipment longevity and cost-effectiveness are paramount, glass lenses often outlast plastic alternatives due to their inherent resistance to scratching and pitting from fine particulate matter. While a clear cover lens is always recommended to protect the filter from direct spatter, the underlying glass filter remains a durable barrier against UV and IR radiation.

Stocking these standard-sized filter plates ensures that your welding team experiences minimal downtime. The Shade 13 opacity is specifically calibrated for higher amperage Stick (SMAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding, where the arc intensity requires substantial light filtration to prevent eye fatigue and arc flash. By maintaining a supply of these robust, heat-treated lenses, facility managers can ensure compliance with safety standards while providing welders with the high-clarity optics necessary for precision work.

Key Industrial Benefits:

• Standard Fitment: Universal 4x5 size fits a wide range of passive hoods.
• Thermal Durability: Heat-treated to withstand industrial welding environments.
• Cost-Effective: A reliable, long-lasting alternative to expensive electronic lenses.
