The Shade 5 Glass Filter Plate is an essential component for welders and fabricators engaged in oxy-fuel cutting, brazing, and soldering operations. Manufactured from high-quality, heat-treated glass, this passive filter plate provides the necessary protection against the intense brightness and harmful radiation generated during gas welding processes. Unlike auto-darkening filters which react to the arc, this fixed shade lens offers a constant level of protection, ensuring that your eyes are shielded the moment you strike your torch.
Measuring a standard 2 inches by 4-1/4 inches, this filter plate is designed to fit universally into most fixed-front welding helmets, flip-front hoods, and compatible welding goggles. The use of glass as the base material offers distinct advantages in industrial environments. Glass is naturally more resistant to scratching and pitting from hot sparks compared to standard plastic lenses, ensuring a longer service life and maintaining optical clarity over time. The heat treatment process further enhances the durability of the lens, making it resistant to thermal shock and impact, although it should always be used in conjunction with a clear safety cover lens for maximum impact protection.
Optical quality is paramount when performing precision cutting or brazing. This Shade 5 lens delivers a crisp, distortion-free view of the work area, allowing the operator to accurately monitor the molten pool and flame characteristics. By filtering out harmful Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) radiation, it prevents eye fatigue and long-term damage associated with occupational exposure to welding light. Whether you are working in a heavy industrial fabrication shop or a small maintenance garage, this reliable glass filter plate is a fundamental piece of personal protective equipment (PPE) that meets the rigorous demands of the trade.
