MARINE REFRIGERATION WITHOUT COSTLY CUTTING AND DRY DOCKING Welding Shield Designed To Speed Work In Confined Spaces The lens of the Optrel Solarmatic Comfort shield darkens only when welding, helping to save time and avoid inconvenience when the welder needs to in- spect the work at hand. The latest welding shield from Racal Health and Safety has been designed to help eliminate a problem associated with weld- ing in confined spaces onboard ships or on off- shore structures. The lens of the Optrel Solarmatic Comfort shield darkens only when welding, helping to save the time and avoid inconvenience associ- ated with inspecting the work at hand. The Optrel solar-powered electronic cartridge used in the Racal system prevents eye damage by darkening almost instantaneously to the required shade number, according to the welding process in use. The Solarmatic Comfort welding shield is lightweight, with a number of other features, including fully adjustable headband; a non-irri- table, washable sweat band; and a mask shape which deflects fumes and protects against weld- ing splatter.
