PWHL3 - Powerweld PWH9855 Replacement Inner Cover Lens

Technical Overview of the Powerweld PWHL-3 Inner Lens

The Powerweld PWHL-3 is a specialized replacement component designed for the maintenance of the Powerweld PWH9855 series of auto-darkening welding helmets. This inner cover lens serves a critical function in the protective assembly of the helmet's optical system. Positioned on the interior side of the Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) cartridge, it acts as the final barrier between the welder's face and the sensitive electronic filter glass. While the outer lens protects against high-velocity spatter and direct heat, the inner lens is engineered to shield the ADF from environmental factors within the helmet, such as perspiration, condensation, and fine particulate matter that may bypass the outer seal.

Manufactured from high-grade polycarbonate, the PWHL-3 offers superior impact resistance and optical clarity. Polycarbonate is the material of choice for welding lenses due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to filter UV radiation, although its primary role here is physical protection. The lens is precision-cut to exact tolerances to fit the PWH9855 retention system, ensuring a gap-free seal that prevents dust ingress which could otherwise obscure the sensors or damage the liquid crystal display of the ADF. Regular replacement of this component is mandated by maintenance protocols whenever the surface becomes pitted, scratched, or clouded, as compromised optics can lead to eye strain and reduced weld quality.

Industrial safety standards emphasize the importance of maintaining clear vision for safe welding operations. The PWHL-3 meets the necessary dimensional and optical requirements to function seamlessly with the PWH9855, ensuring that the helmet retains its safety rating and performance characteristics. It is a direct OEM-quality replacement part distributed by Techniweld, ensuring compatibility and reliability for professional fabrication environments.
