What the AI looks for in Welding Screens
- Transparent curtain standard
- Transparent curtains that state compliance with ISO 25980 (ANSI Z49.1 covers the general requirement for screening) Unrated tinted vinyl may not block enough UV to protect passers-by.
- Tint darkness
- Darker green or opaque screens for high-amp or high-traffic areas; lighter orange or yellow where visibility into the cell matters Lighter tints let supervisors see in, but they pass more glare.
- Flame resistance
- Curtain material labelled flame-retardant Spatter will hit the screen.
- Frame stability
- Weighted or wide-footed frames, with casters that lock A tipping screen near an arc is a hazard.
Brands that matter
- Steiner: Transparent curtains, strip doors and framed screens.
- Jackson Safety: Welding curtains and screens.
- Lincoln Electric: Framed welding screens for shops.
What to avoid
- Treating a transparent screen as safe to watch the arc through
- Clear or unrated shower-style vinyl sold as welding curtain
