* As a rule of thumb, start with a shade that is too
						  dark to see the weld zone. Then go to a lighter shade that gives a sufficient
						  view of the weld zone without going below the minimum. In oxyfuel gas welding
						  or cutting where the torch produces a high yellow light, it is desirable to use
						  a filter lens that absorbs the yellow or sodium line in the visible light of
						  the (spectrum) operation.
** These values apply where the actual arc is clearly
						  seen. Experience has shown that light filters may be used when the arc is
						  hidden by the workpiece.

						a hand shield shall be made with the same basic design and of the same basic
						materials: an opaque, bowl-shaped or modified bowl-shaped device containing a
						window with filter plate which allows the wearer to see the radiant object, yet
						prevents harmful intensities or radiation from reaching his eyes. A helmet
						shall be supported on the head by an adjustable headgear. A hand shield shall
						have a handle attached to the bottom by which it is held in the hand. The basic
						designs may be modified to provide protection against special hazards, but
						modified equipment shall meet the same requirements as the basic
						design.
(4) A helmet and a hand
						shield shall bear a permanent and legible marking by which the manufacturer may
						be readily identified.

						  vertical line back of the ears. It shall have 1 or more openings in the front
						  for filter plates or filter lenses. The helmet body shall be attached to the
						  headgear so that it will not come in contact with any part of the head and so
						  that it can be lifted up from in front of the face and hold its position in
						  front of the head. The helmet body shall be made of vulcanized fiber,
						  reinforced plastic, or other suitable material which shall be thermally
						  insulating, noncombustible or slow-burning, opaque to visible, ultraviolet, and
						  infrared radiations, and capable of withstanding sanitizing. The inside of the
						  helmet body shall have a low-light reflecting finish. Rivets or other metal
						  parts, if terminating on the inside surface, shall be adequately separated from
						  the wearer's head.

						  capable of withstanding sanitizing. Where required, the headgear shall be
						  fitted with a removable and replaceable sweatband covering at least the
						  forehead portion of the headband. The sweatband shall be made of leather or
						  other suitable material which is slow-burning and
						  non-irritating.

(2) Both surfaces of a
						filter plate shall be well polished and shall be free from striae, waves, or
						other defects that would impair the optical quality of the surfaces. Filter

(3) Table 2 of
						R
						408.13312 shall be used to select the proper shade
						number of filter lenses or plates during welding operations.
(4) When specified, a filter plate shall be
						impact-resistant, unless impact-resistant eye protection is worn in conjunction
						with a welding helmet.
(5) A filter
						plate shall be marked with the shade designation and a permanent and legible
						marking by which the manufacturer may be readily identified. In addition, a
						glass filter plate, when treated for impact-resistance, shall be marked with
						the letter "H."
(6) A cover plate
						made of plain glass, of glass coated on 1 or on both sides with plastic, or of
						a slow-burning solid plastic sheet shall be used to protect a filter plate from
						damage. A cover plate shall be the same peripheral size and shape as the filter
						plate, and the thickness of a cover plate shall not be less than 0.050 inches.
						A cover plate shall transmit not less than 75% of the luminous radiation and
						shall be substantially free from optical imperfections.

						  mounting frame are the same as for a rigid helmet. A headgear may be used. The
						  material shall be non-conducting and opaque to ultraviolet, visible, and
						  infrared radiations. Stitched seams shall be welded. Stitching shall not be
						  exposed.
