Breathe Easy, Weld Clearly: Introducing the 3M Speedglas G5-01 Heavy Duty Welding Mask with Adflo PAPR

The 3M Speedglas G5-01 Heavy Duty Welding Mask with Adflo Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR) system represents the pinnacle of welding safety and user experience. This industry-leading combination delivers uncompromising eye, face, and respiratory protection for professional welders tackling even the most demanding projects.

The G5-01 welding mask boasts the innovative 3M Speedglas Natural Colour Technology, providing a remarkably clear view of your weld pool in the light state (Shade 3). This reduces eye strain and fatigue, allowing you to work longer with greater precision. The variable colour auto-darkening filter (ADF) automatically adjusts to your welding application, with shades ranging from 5 (cutting) to a variable 8-14 (welding). Additionally, the G5-01 features a large viewing area (73 x 109 mm) for exceptional peripheral, upward, and side visibility, enhancing your situational awareness.

The integrated 3M Adflo PAPR system supplies a constant stream of filtered air, protecting you from harmful welding fumes and particles. The ergonomic design ensures comfortable wear throughout your workday, even in tight spaces, while the detachable grinding headtop allows you to switch seamlessly between welding and grinding tasks.

FAQs

The G5-01 is a significant upgrade with several key advancements:

  • Variable Color Technology: Provides a clearer view in the light state
  • Extra Dark Shade 14: For high-amperage applications
  • Airflow Climate Control: Adjustable airflow for personalised comfort
  • Larger Grinding Visor: 15% larger for improved visibility
  • Bluetooth Connectivity: For data logging and filter monitoring
  • Optional Task Light: For enhanced visibility in low-light conditions

The G5-01 weighs approximately the same as the 9100 FX Air at 972g. However, the improved ergonomics and weight distribution make it feel lighter and more comfortable during extended use.

The G5-01 is designed for heavy-duty welding applications, including:
  • MIG/MAG (GMAW)
  • Stick (SMAW)
  • Flux-Cored (FCAW)
It is also suitable for some TIG welding, but for dedicated TIG welding, the G5-02 might be a better choice.

Common replacement parts include:

  • Inside and outside cover lenses
  • Grinding visor plates
  • Adflo filters (particle, gas, and odour filters)
  • Breathing tubes
  • Headbands and comfort pads

You can find the spare parts here.

The G5-01 can connect to a mobile app (3M Connected Equipment app) via Bluetooth. This allows you to:
