The Lincoln Electric Viking 3350 Series, specifically the K3034-3 Black model, represents a significant advancement in auto-darkening filtration technology. This unit is defined by its integration of proprietary 4C Lens Technology, which stands for Clarity, Color, Carat, and Cut. Technically, this results in a lens that achieves a perfect 1\/1\/1\/1 Optical Clarity rating according to EN379 standards. This rating certifies that the lens is free from blur, distortion, and inconsistent shading at any angle, providing the welder with a technically superior view of the arc and base material.<\/p>\n
The ADF (Auto-Darkening Filter) cartridge features an expansive viewing area of 3.74 x 3.34 inches (approximately 12.5 square inches), one of the largest in the industrial sector. The switching mechanism is driven by four independent arc sensors, ensuring rapid detection of the arc in 1\/25,000 of a second, even in obstructed environments or low-amperage TIG applications. The helmet is rated for TIG welding at less than 2 Amps, making it suitable for precision aerospace and thin-gauge fabrication. The shade range is variable from DIN 5 to 13, with internal controls for sensitivity and delay, allowing for fine-tuning based on ambient lighting and welding process currents.<\/p>\n
Power is managed through a hybrid system utilizing solar cells for primary operation during welding, supplemented by a user-replaceable CR2450 lithium battery to ensure instant startup and consistent performance. The shell is constructed from high-impact nylon, designed to withstand industrial environments while maintaining a relatively low weight of approximately 21 ounces (595g). The K3034-3 also features an external grind button, allowing operators to switch to a clear state without lifting the helmet or removing gloves, thereby maintaining safety compliance and workflow efficiency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lincoln Electric\u00ae Viking\u00ae 3350 Black Welding Helmet.\n\nThe VIKING 3350, our top-of-the-line helmet series, provides the best optical clarity available in a welding helmet today and the largest viewing area in its class. \n\nThe 3350 Series offers a pivot style headgear designed for greater comfort and optimal fit.\n\n4C Lens Technology improves visibility and reduces eye strainBetter clarity, real color view – 1\/1\/1\/1 Optical Clarity.\n\nEasy on the eyesWide-screen viewIncreased battery life.","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[2019,2018],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1762433","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","5":"product_cat-welding-helmets-papr-helmets","6":"product_cat-welding-helmets-papr-accessories","7":"pa_brand-lincoln","8":"pa_grind-function-n-a","9":"pa_grind-function-yes","10":"pa_lense-type-adf-autoshade","11":"pa_lense-type-adf-autoshade-2","12":"pa_packaging-description-1-of-each","13":"pa_packaging-description-1-per-each-2","14":"pa_papr-no","15":"pa_shade-range-5-13","17":"first","18":"onbackorder","19":"taxable","20":"shipping-taxable","21":"purchasable","22":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/1762433","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1762433"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=1762433"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=1762433"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/josefgases.com\/stage\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=1762433"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
