TECHNICAL DATASHEET WCHR CAP ATTACHABLE WELDING SHIELD DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS

Transcription

1 WCHR CAP ATTACHABLE WELDING SHIELD DESCRIPTION The Protector WCHR is a lightweight cap attachable welding shield. The unique design conveniently attaches to the rear of the Protector HC3/9 series safety helmet (peaked caps). This combination provides improved product balance, vision and less wearer fatigue. Ideally suited for prolonged general welding activities on site where mandatory head protection is required. The large lift up lens holder fitted with shade filter, cover and chipping lens provides superior vision and safety. The lightweight shield is durable and can be used for grinding, cutting or scouring applications. The shield, cover and chipping lens are rated to high impact (V) and certified to ASNZS37.1:20. These components are critical to welding filter working life and clear vision. The filter is certified to ASNZS38.1:1992 ensuring total product compliance and protection during welding operations. This product when combined with an industrial safety helmet is ideal for on site welding applications where head protection is deemed necessary. This no need to lift welding shield protects the user from harmful welding activities and allows clear vision when exposed to other non welding eye and face hazards. APPLICATIONS Suitable industries include construction, shipbuilding, heavy fabrication and mining. Applications include gas welding, MIG, TIG and Plasma arc. Please refer to AS/NZS 38, Part 1 for filter selection.

3 MARKINGS ON FACESHIELDS Markings on eye/face protectors are a requirement for certification. It assists users in identifying their intended use. They are identified by the following: STANDARD SYMBOL EXPLANATIONS AS/NZS 37.1:20 I or F For medium impact protection AS/NZS 37.1:20 V For high impact protection AS/NZS 37.1:20 M For molten metal resistance AS/NZS 37.1:20 C For splash resistance AS/NZS 37.1:20 O For outdoor tinted protection is determined by the metres per second in which a projectile travels. A ballistic test rig fires either a.00mm or a.3 mm projectile ball at speeds from m, up to 190m per second dependant on which size projectile is used. STANDARD RATING BALL SPEED IMPACT PROTECTION.00mm.3mm SITUATIONS AS/NZS 37.1:20 Low m/sec m/sec Hammering, handling wire, brick chipping by hand AS/NZS 37.1:20 Medium 0m/sec 0m/sec Grinding, machining metals, woodworking AS/NZS 37.1:20 High 0m/sec 1m/sec Concrete cutting, high speed disc grinding, metal cutting AS/NZS 37.1:20 Extra High 190m/sec 17m/sec Abrasive shot blasting, ballistic, military, electrical maintenance TYPE OF PROTECTOR Spectacles Spectacles, Eyeshields or lightweight visor systems Visor systems only Visor systems only Selecting eye protection is very much about identifying the hazards and assessing the risks. Selecting the wrong type of PPE can have serious consequences. It is important to consider the velocity, size and the nature of the hazard when evaluating eye/face protection.
