A welding filter guarantees safety from prolonged exposure to dangerously-bright conditions and the toxic fumes and particles of burnt and welded metal for all welders. However, even the best filters start to deteriorate and suffer from massive dysfunction over time. Here are five crucial signs to help you achieve zero downtime with quick replacements on hand.
Inner and Outer Cover Lens Condition
Deeply-scratched inner and outer cover lenses can cause project inaccuracies. Therefore, a welding filter in such a condition needs immediate replacement. If you can still clean the outer cover lens and improve its visibility, you won't need to replace it immediately. Otherwise, find an excellent replacement.
Sweatband
A welding filter's top-notch solution to enhanced visibility is simple, thanks to sweatbands. However, too much-absorbed sweat will cause undesirable odor emission and poor face sealing essential for welding. If your welders sweat much more than the others, always have a good welding filter replacement stock.
Face Seal
All fabricating and welding environments are messy. Some facilities and project sites are much more dust and dirt-riddled than others. If the filter's face seal sees a huge dust and dirt buildup, clean it up after every session. It's wise to replace the face seal every two months for better hygiene and anti-toxic fume performance.
Filter Replacement Tone
High-quality welding filters often have a filter replacement tone. The filter emits the sound once dust and dirt had caked it up to affect its performance greatly.
More Than 3 Years of Use
All welding filters beyond 2-3 years of use require immediate replacement. The filters have become extremely unhygienic and inefficient to provide good welder protection. Buying a new set for filters of this age is the best choice.
