    Passive Welding Helmets FAQs

    Answers for buyers choosing a passive helmet or hand shield with a fixed-shade lens, and looking after it.

    How do I choose the right fixed shade for my welding?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A passive lens has one shade, so choose it carefully for the work you do. The right shade depends mainly on the welding process and the current, with higher current needing a darker lens. Use the shade table in the helmet manual or a recognised shade chart, and prefer the suggested shade rather than the minimum.

    If you weld across a wide current range, a single shade may not suit everything, and you may need more than one lens. A shade that is too light does not give enough protection from the arc. Your risk assessment and the maker's instructions should have the final say.

    What is the difference between a head shield and a hand shield?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    A head shield (a helmet) is worn on the head, leaving both hands free to hold the torch or electrode and the workpiece. A hand shield is held in front of the face with one hand, which suits brief jobs, inspection or someone who only needs to watch an arc occasionally.

    For regular welding, a head shield is more practical and safer, because you can keep both hands on the job. Do not use a helmet as a hand shield, as it is designed to be worn. Choose the type that matches how long and how often you weld, and check fit and comfort.

    When should I replace the cover lens on a passive helmet?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    The clear cover lens sits in front of the shaded lens and takes the spatter, scratches and knocks. Replace it when it is scratched, pitted or hazy, because a damaged lens hampers your view and can let you work with poor visibility.

    If the shaded lens itself is cracked or damaged, replace that too, and never use a cracked lens. Fit a lens made for your helmet, as sizes and holders vary. A simple habit is to check the lens each time you put the helmet on, and keep spares to hand so you do not carry on with a damaged one.

    Can I change to a lens of a different shade?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

    Often yes, because passive lenses are made in a range of shades and can be swapped in a suitable holder. This is useful if you change process or current, or if the original shade is too light or too dark for your work.

    Use only a lens designed for your helmet and check its marking. Choose the shade by process and current from a recognised shade table, and prefer the suggested shade over the minimum. Never use a lens that is not intended for welding, as it does not protect your eyes. Follow the maker's guidance on fitting.
