Abstract: A flame resistant garment, in certain embodiments, may include multiple garment portions to provide different degrees of protection for welding or another application. In one embodiment, the flame-resistant garment may include a base garment and one or more supplemental protective layers or garments. For example, the base garment may include a jacket, a vest, a coverall, a jumpsuit, an overall, pants, trousers, a smock, a hat, a hood, or a combination thereof. The protective layer may include a bib or any other suitable attachment to add further flame resistance. Further, the multiple garment portions may be coupled together via a snap fastener system, a hook-and-loop system, a button system, a zipper system, a buckle system, or a clip system, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding system includes a user interface to receive characteristics of the workpiece to select operational parameters for the TIG welding process. The characteristics of the workpiece may include workpiece composition or workpiece thickness. Workpiece material is translated to an output welding-type power that is alternating current (AC) power or direct current (DC) power. Workpiece thickness is translated to a specific output amperage. The operator does not need to have knowledge of operational parameters of the TIG welding system and can configured the system using workpiece characteristics.
