PS10-24 - Walter 2x4.25 Passive Shade 10 Welding Filter Plate

Reliable Passive Eye Protection

The Walter PS10-24 is a high-quality passive welding lens designed to provide consistent and reliable eye protection for professional welders. Featuring a fixed Shade 10 filter, this lens is engineered to block harmful Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) radiation generated during the welding process. As a passive filter plate, it utilizes darkened glass or polycarbonate technology to maintain a constant shade level, eliminating the variables associated with auto-darkening filters, such as sensor blockage or battery failure. This makes it an essential component for industrial safety programs that prioritize fail-safe equipment.

Standard Compatibility and Optical Clarity

Measuring at the industry-standard dimensions of 2 inches by 4-1/4 inches, this lens is compatible with a wide array of welding helmets, including traditional pipeline hoods, pancake hoods, and standard passive flip-front helmets. The manufacturing process ensures high optical clarity, allowing the welder to see the weld puddle clearly without distortion. This clarity is crucial for maintaining weld quality and reducing operator fatigue over long shifts. The lens is robust enough to withstand the thermal and physical demands of heavy-duty industrial environments, making it a cost-effective replacement for damaged or pitted lenses.

Application Suitability

The Shade 10 rating is specifically calibrated for general-purpose welding applications. It is particularly well-suited for Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW/Stick) and Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW/MIG) within standard amperage ranges. By providing a constant dark state, the lens allows the welder's eyes to adjust to the specific brightness of the arc, offering a stable viewing experience. Whether used as a primary lens or a backup for auto-darkening units, the Walter PS10-24 delivers the performance and safety required in fabrication shops, construction sites, and maintenance facilities.
