Tips to choose the right welding helmet




With more new welders entering the workforce, it’s essential to understand what goes into selecting a welding helmet. Not all helmets are created equal, and their style, features, and price points often reflect that.

But with so many different helmets available, how do welders choose the right one that will stand up to their requirements?

Some companies may purchase welding helmets and starter kits, which include all safety gear, as a perk for new employees, while others may look to have their welders use high-end equipment to entice welders to join the company. Regardless of how a welder comes to possess the helmet, it must meet specific criteria.
Frequency of Use


The first question that needs to be answered when exploring welding helmets is just how often the welder will be using the helmet. A hobbyist welder will use the helmet far less frequently than a professional welder who works eight-hour days, five days per week.


A hobbyist welder may not need a helmet with all the bells and whistles, and you can get a decent helmet for a few hundred dollars,” said Andrew Newman, welding applications technologist, Fronius Canada Ltd., Mississauga, Ont. “On the flip side, helmets can range all the way up to powered air purifying respirator (PAPR)-style helmets, which can be thousands of dollars. But then there is everything else in between.”

The needs of a part-time welder are different from those of a professional welder, and choosing a helmet that can meet potential future needs is also an important consideration, especially for someone new to the industry

For track construction, the process of bringing down the railway tracks started from August 2. The FBW (Flash Butt Weld) plant was lowered to the ground to lay and weld 268 rail tracks, each 18 metre-long and weighing one tonne, near the under-construction Bada Chauraha Metro station. In less than a month, the process of welding and laying of rails in both the ‘upline’ and ‘downline’ tunnels has been completed, claimed the Metro authorities. After this, preparations for casting the slabs under th...
