Welding safety curtain
A welding safety curtain is a certified screen that encloses work areas and protects people nearby from hazardous glare and ultraviolet stray radiation. It also serves as a privacy screen for processes that throw sparks.
Physicochemical Mechanism of Action
The welding curtain absorbs or reflects UV and IR radiation produced during welding. It forms a barrier between the welding process and the surroundings.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Without a protective curtain, bystanders can be hurt by bright light or hot radiation – up to burns or permanent loss of sight. The curtain also keeps metal spatter and fumes away from the surroundings.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Make sure the welding curtain hangs correctly and all openings are covered. Use it for spark-intensive processes like TIG or MIG. Check it for damage and mind the validity of the certification.
