[Comprehensive] Can sun-protection UV goggles be used for welding protection?

Q: Is it possible to use sun-protected UV goggles for welding protection?

A: No. Although UV protection goggles can achieve 99% or more protection against UV rays in sunlight, it is only partially protected from UVA and UVB in UV rays. In addition to UVA and UVB, UVC, infrared IR, and visible light with very high intensity, the general UV protection goggles have no protective function against these harmful light and cannot protect them.

Q: Is all stained glasses used to protect the sun's ultraviolet rays?

A: No. If there is no UV protection coating, only the stained glasses cannot block the UV light. Because the stained mirror reduces the light intensity, the wearer's pupil enlarges and the exposure level of the UV radiation increases, and it is more vulnerable to injury.

Q: Are there impact-resistant glasses after wearing a full-blown tool in a place where metal fragments are splashed?

A: The full-faced mirror itself is an impact-proof mirror and does not require additional eye and face protection.

Q:Wear protective glasses and smearing protective articles together. Does it cause interference that results in reduced protective performance?

A: The safety glasses do not interfere with the half masks, but they cannot usually be used together with the full masks. For the loosely fitted sucker masks, the safety glasses can be worn in the mask or the hood.

Q: Is it necessary to use a loose-fitting skimmer with an ANSI Z87.1-compliant mirror in combination with safety glasses or goggles?

A: Shanghai Changwei Industrial Engineer also believes that it should be decided according to the circumstances. If the protective mirror may leave the normal position (such as the retractable sucker of the mirror) during the entire working process, it must be used in conjunction with safety goggles or protective goggles; if the mirror is not in position during the entire working process Change does not require wearing protective glasses or goggles.
