Talk:Arc eye

Start
I have problems with leakage in barrels more than 21" diameter and 48" lenght. How could I solve this problem?

I think this article has a serious factual error that could affect the safety of workers. There are two types of "Arc Flash".

The Arc Flash that results from an accidental electrical short in air is a function of hot gases, molten copper and explosive forces. The personal protective equipment (PPE) that protects against such an event is dictated by NFPA 70E

The other phenomenon discussed in this article is ‘arc eye’ which is damage to this eye from an arc welder. The PPE for this work is very different in function from Arc Flash PPE.

If someone does welding work in Arc Flash PPE, or electrical work in welding PPE, they are at risk of serious injury. This article should be split into sections on Arc Eye and Arc Flash separately.

Merge
Flash blindness is very similar should we merge these? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 01:29, 26 April 2010 (UTC)


 * No - Flash blindness is effect on retina (temporary or perminant disruption), whilst arc eye and snow blindness are outer eye superficial burns. Ripe for mention in a "see also" section though, as may co-exist. David Ruben Talk 01:36, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
