For most general purpose SMAW and GMAW a welding helmet with a shade #10 is used, in fact most fixed shade (passive) helmets come with a #10 lens. Auto darkening helmets can be fixed shade with #10, or have adjustable, 9 -13 is common but higher end helmets have a wider range such as #5 - #14 or thereabouts.
Does welding damage your eyes over time EVEN with ALL the proper ppe and its correct use? I just started welding and will be welding for 3 months only. Will my eyes be ok long term if I only weld for 3 months? Im 35.
@@michaelsaine Yeah my eyes are fine. But all my instructors have had cataract surgery. I dont know and I didnt ask if they wore proper PPE their whole careers but still there were 3 of them and all have messed up eyes

Infrared heat can definitely be detected. It's called radiant heat. That's how you get hot when sitting at a fireplace.
