How to protect eyes when welding?
2021-10-22


The welding industry is not only hard, but also dangerous. It is very necessary for welders to pay attention to the protection of eye health.Well, do you know how welders protect their eyes?

1. Welders must wear welding masks to protect their eyes when working
Welders must wear welding masks or filters.
At the same time, the mask used must be in good condition, without cracks or cracks, to prevent arc light from entering.Masks with curved faces should also be used, rather than straight ones, because they reduce the amount of welding smoke entering the welder's breathing zone.While lightweight fiberglass masks are usually recommended, new nylon welding masks are lighter and increasingly popular with welders.Welding masks can also be attached to hard helmets for dangerous applications in industry and construction.
2. Welders must wear filters to protect their eyes when working
The welding mask has a filter lens clamp for mounting the protection plate and filter glass or filter plate.
All filters or plates can penetrate a certain intensity of light and filter out part of the arc.

Filter coefficient of mask filter should be selected according to welding current.A protective plate should be installed on the outside of the filter glass to protect the filter glass from being damaged by splashing particles.The protective plate is generally made of glass or plastic.A magnifying glass can also be mounted behind the filter plate for a clearer view of the molten pool, and the filter glass should be tough enough to prevent it from breaking after being hit by flying objects.
3, welders must wear protective clothing when working
The main purpose of wearing protective clothing is to prevent welding sparks from burning the skin of the face and to reduce eye irritation caused by bright light.Spectral analysis of arc light shows that its ultraviolet intensity is very large, and this ray has very great damage to human skin, especially eyes. For eyes, it can burn the fundus and cause blindness.It is also necessary to wear protective clothing, because its penetration and thermal effect is very strong and can burn the skin through ordinary clothes. Therefore, it is necessary to wear protective clothing as well as masks.

What if the welder's eyes are burned
1.Welders can apply cold water to their eyes with a towel after they are burned
Also can use towel dip cold water apply eye, closed eyes rest.
The arc light of electric welding and gas welding, ultraviolet lamp, the sunshine reflection of the beach of burning sun and plateau, snow mountain can produce a lot of ultraviolet light and cause electro-optic ophthalmitis, especially for welders.When watching arc welding light without wearing protective eyes for a long time, the eyes will be stimulated by strong ultraviolet rays in arc light, resulting in electro-optic ophthalmitis, which is commonly referred to as arc light "hitting" the eyes.If the burn is not properly treated, there is no end to it.

2.Welders should take care to reduce light stimulation after their eyes are burned
After emergency treatment, in addition to rest, but also pay attention to reduce light stimulation, and minimize eye movement and friction.It can be cured in one or two days.
