Speedglas G5-01 - More versatile & comfortable than ever

The new 3M Speedglas Heavy-Duty Welding Helmet G5-01 builds on the 9100 series. Having more adjustable features than ever: from the colour as seen through the welding filter to the direction of the airflow and the level of coverage.

3M Speedglas have been conducting extensive research into designing a welding helmet that is constructed to be reliable and extremely adaptable to a welder’s needs and situation. The result of their research is the G5-01 Welding Helmet. Built for heavy-duty, high-amperage welding and grinding, the G5-01 Welding Helmet connects to the 3M Adflo Powered Air Respirator to deliver TH3-rated protection.

The G5-01 has two auto-darkening filter options, both with 3M Speedglas natural colour technology, with greater clarity before, during and after welding. Both filters are also designed to minimise eye strain when switching from a dark to a light state, by using an intermediate shade (5 or 7).

With its smart, compact design, the 3M™ Adflo™ Powered Air Respirator is specially designed to meet your welding needs. Its continuous airflow provides filtered air that takes much of the heat and sweat out of welding. By using the Adflo respirator, you get both increased protection and comfort all day long.

Product Details

Natural Colour Technology

Both of the new G5-01 auto-darkening welding filters (ADFs) feature the popular 3M Speedglas Natural Colour Technology for more realistic colour in the light state.

When Tack Welding...

Human eyes aren’t designed for handling rapid transitions from dark to light to dark again – which describes tack welding perfectly! The G5-01TW welding filter uses an intermediate shade 5 light state to help minimise eye strain during extended tack welding applications. If an arc is not struck within 2 seconds the welding filter will switch back to its normal light state (shade 3).

Adjustable airflow

With the helmet’s new duct system, users can direct the airflow to either their face (1) or visor (2), as well as the amount of air coming from the top outlet (3) vs. the two side outlets(4). With greater control over personalised settings, users can balance the airflow’s cooling effect while minimising flows that might dry out their nose or eyes.

Stay Protected

This flip-up functionality allows you to seamlessly switch between welding and grinding tasks while maintaining powered air respiratory protection. The clear visor also allows you to set up, inspect and move around the workpiece without the need to remove the face protection or break the positive pressure respiratory seal.

A system for many needs

Designed for heavy-duty high-amperage welding and grinding, the G5-01 welding helmet connects to the 3M Adflo PAPR system to provide TH3-rated respiratory protection (APF 4'0). The robust Adflo respirator provides all the features expected in a premium system, including ease of use.

Tailor to fit your preferences

New Headband Design - Improved self-adjusting comfort paddles along your forehead. Also features a rotation stopper, designed to simplify donning of the helmet.

Adjustment options - Control the distance and angle from your eyes to the clear visor and welding filter.

Extra-large back pad - Available as an option for enhanced comfort.

Speedglas Adflo Helmets FAQs

Straight answers to the questions people ask most when choosing a powered air welding helmet.

What is a powered air welding helmet and how does it work?

It combines an auto-darkening welding helmet with a powered air purifying respirator. A battery-powered blower worn on the belt draws air through filters, and a breathing tube carries the cleaned air up into the helmet, where it flows over the face.

The filters remove particles such as welding fume, and some systems can take a gas filter as well. The constant flow also keeps the face cooler and helps stop the visor fogging. It protects against what the filters are designed to capture, not against everything, so the filters must suit the work.

What filters do I need for welding fume?

Welding fume is mostly fine particles, so a particle filter of a suitable class is the basic requirement. Some units also allow a pre-filter or a spark guard in front of the main filter to catch larger dust and hot spatter and help the main filter last longer. What is fitted depends on your unit, so check the manual.

Welding can also produce gases such as ozone and oxides of nitrogen, and some coatings or solvents add vapours. In that case a combination filter may be needed. Use only filters approved for your unit, and choose them from your risk assessment and the maker's guidance, never by assumption.

What is the difference between the helmet shells and the filter options?

The helmet shell gives the head and face protection, and the filter in the front window darkens to protect your eyes from the arc. Different filters offer different features, such as a wider view, a number of shade ranges, a setting for tack welding, or a natural colour view.

Some helmets are offered without a filter, so you can pick the one that suits your work. Think about the processes you do: for low-amp TIG a sensitive filter helps, and for heavy MIG a wide shade range is useful.

How do I choose between auto-darkening filter types?

Look at the shade range, the size of the viewing window, the sensitivity at low current, the number of arc sensors and the switching speed. Variable shade filters suit people who switch between processes and currents, while fixed shade filters are fine for a single repeated job.

A larger window gives a wider view but the helmet is heavier. If you do TIG or other low-current work, make sure the filter is rated for it. Try a few on if you can, as comfort and clarity matter during a long shift.
