Talk:Welding helmet

More information
I'm trying to locate some more sources and material to turn this article into more than a stub, any help would be greatly appreciated. It survived an AfD based on the fact that it could be expanded into more... I think it's time to make that happen. I have some welding and engineering experiance, but anyone with some detailed knowledge or knowledge of sources would be greatly appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wintermut3 (talk • contribs) 19:07, December 5, 2006

Just deleted this section. If you want it back, show some evidence that it is/was ever used or is somehow influential. Snori (talk) 05:49, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Wild rabbit hole
references OSHA Publication 3151, which is references 29 CFR 1926.102(c)(1), which is at but it doesn't... say... what the HELL the shade numbers actually mean or where they're defined. Guess that is a dead end.

Other attempts:
 * https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1917/1917.152 (end of page, has another table of shades)
 * https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/federalregister/1994-04-06 (nothing really although it does give plate thicknesses as well as shades)

 * https://www.osha.gov/laws-regs/regulations/standardnumber/1915/1915.153#1915.153(a)(4) which is another shade table (this one is good because it gives actual amperage numbers and plate thickness etc)
 * Latter references ANSI/ISEA Z87.1-2010 and ANSI Z87.1-2003 and ANSI Z87.1-1989 (R-1998)


 * Found some more stuff poking around on the ANSI website:
 * BS EN 169:2002, Personal eye-protection. Filters for welding and related techniques. Transmittance requirements and recommended use
 * ISO-12311-2013, Personal protective equipment — Test methods for sunglasses and related eyewear

Got it. ANSI Z87.1-2003, appendix table 1, pp. 40. jp×g 07:19, 18 October 2023 (UTC)
