The Weldcote Metals S450-11 is a high-quality passive glass filter plate designed for industrial welding applications requiring reliable, fixed-shade protection. Measuring 4-1/2 inches by 5-1/4 inches, this lens fits standard large-window welding helmets and pipeline hoods, offering a broad field of view that is essential for positional welding and complex fabrication tasks. As a Shade 11 filter, it provides a slightly darker view than the standard Shade 10, making it ideal for medium-to-high amperage Stick (SMAW) and MIG (GMAW) welding processes where arc brightness is significant.
Constructed from heat-treated glass, this filter plate offers distinct advantages over plastic alternatives. Glass is naturally more resistant to pitting from spatter and scratching from cleaning, ensuring a longer service life in harsh shop environments. The optical quality of the Weldcote S450-11 is precision-engineered to minimize distortion, reducing eye fatigue during long shifts. The lens effectively blocks harmful Ultraviolet (UV) and Infrared (IR) radiation generated by the welding arc, meeting strict ANSI Z87.1 safety standards for occupational eye protection.
Professionals appreciate the consistency of a passive lens. Unlike auto-darkening filters (ADFs) which can occasionally flash or run out of battery, a passive glass plate like the S450-11 is fail-safe. It is always on, always protecting. This makes it a preferred choice for welders working in extreme temperatures or obstructed environments where sensors might be blocked. The "Singles" packaging ensures that each lens arrives in pristine condition, free from dust or scratches, ready for immediate installation into your welding helmet's retaining system.
Whether used as a primary lens or a backup for critical work, the Weldcote S450-11 delivers the clarity and durability required by the metalworking industry. Its precision-cut edges ensure a snug fit in the gasket, preventing light leakage and ensuring maximum safety.
