0700000506 - ESAB G30 Replacement Outer Flip Lens - Shade 8

Technical Overview of the ESAB 0700000506 Outer Flip Visor

The ESAB 0700000506 is a specialized replacement component designed exclusively for the ESAB G30 and G30 Air welding helmet systems. This product consists of a single outer flip visor featuring a fixed DIN 8 shade level. The G30 helmet series is renowned for its versatility, combining a clear inner grinding visor with a flip-up outer welding visor. This specific SKU serves as the shaded outer layer, providing the necessary filtration against harmful ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) radiation generated during welding and cutting processes.

Constructed from high-grade optical polycarbonate, this lens is engineered to meet rigorous industrial safety standards. The inclusion of an Anti-Scratch (AS) coating is a critical technical feature, significantly enhancing the durability of the lens against pitting from spatter and abrasion from handling. For procurement and safety officers, ensuring that welding personnel utilize OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) lenses is vital for maintaining the CE and ANSI certification validity of the protective equipment. Using third-party or ill-fitting lenses can compromise the helmet's structural integrity and the welder's protection.

The DIN 8 shade rating of this visor makes it particularly suitable for specific industrial applications. While standard heavy-duty arc welding often requires shades 10 through 13, a Shade 8 lens is technically appropriate for lower amperage processes, such as low-current TIG welding, plasma cutting, and heavy-duty oxy-fuel welding or cutting. It bridges the gap between gas welding goggles (typically shade 5) and standard arc welding shades. Facilities managers should verify the amperage ranges and processes used on the shop floor to ensure Shade 8 is the correct specification for their operators. This part is supplied as a single unit, allowing for precise inventory control and on-demand replacement.
