3M Welding Helmet & Shields, Clear Lens, Outer Protection Plate - 7100016691

This welding helmet & shields item provides outer-face protection for welding filters used in Speedglas systems. It is designed to function as a clear outer barrier, positioned in front of a Speedglas welding filter to shield the primary lens from spatter and surface damage while maintaining visual clarity for the operator. The component conforms to recognised personal eye-protection categories, making it suitable for incorporation into certified welding headgear.

Features and Benefits:

• Clear outer plate prevents surface damage while preserving visibility
• Compatible with Speedglas welding filter for secure fitment
• Conforms to EN166 standards for face and eye protection
• Meets EN166:BT impact and EN166:FT high-temperature criteria
• Serves as a replaceable outer shield to reduce main filter maintenance

Applications

• Used with Speedglas welding filter accessories on helmets
• Suitable for workshop MIG and TIG welding environments
• Ideal for routine replacement as a clear lens protector
• Can be used where certified EN166:BT face protection is required
• Appropriate for operations needing a heat-resistant outer plate

How does the component interact with the primary filter?

It fits externally in front of the primary filter to absorb spatter and contaminants, preserving the main filter’s surface condition and optical quality.

What does the clear colour specification mean for use?

The transparent material delivers unobstructed vision and neutral light transmission, enabling accurate visual assessment during welding tasks.

Which standards indicate its performance under impact and heat?

The item is specified to comply with EN166:BT for ballistic/impact behaviour and EN166:FT for resistance to molten metal and hot solids.

Is this component intended as a permanent or replaceable element?

It is intended as an outer protective plate that can be replaced to prolong the service life of the Speedglas welding filter.
