3M Speedglas 9100 Series Parts and Filter Guide
The 3M Speedglas 9100 series spans four ADF filter levels - 9100V, 9100X, 9100XX, and 9100XXi - plus flip-front (9100 FX) and PAPR-integrated (9100 FX-Air) variants. Understanding which parts are shared across the series and which are variant-specific is essential for ordering correctly. This guide maps the full parts ecosystem.
The ADF Filters: Variant-Specific Cartridges
Each 9100 ADF filter is a separate part. Upgrading from a lower 9100 variant to a higher one is accomplished by swapping the ADF cartridge.
| ADF Variant | Part Number | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| 9100V | 06-0000-10 | Entry-level 9100 |
| 9100X | 06-0000-20 | Mid-tier 9100 |
| 9100XX | 06-0000-30 | High-end 9100 |
| 9100XXi | 06-0000-30i | Natural Color Technology, TIG to 1 amp |
The 9100XXi cartridge is also sold as a kit (06-0000-30i-KIT*) which includes the 9100XXi filter with a silver front panel.
Batteries: Headband Location, Two Required
All 9100 series ADF cartridges use two batteries, part number 04-0320-00 (sold as a 2/case). The batteries are housed in the headband assembly, not in the ADF cartridge itself. This design keeps the ADF cartridge lighter and centralizes the battery compartment in a more accessible location.
To replace batteries:
- Locate the battery holder on the headband inner assembly
- Open the battery compartment cover
- Replace both batteries simultaneously
- Close the compartment and verify ADF activation
Outside Cover Lenses: Shared Across the Series
One of the 9100 series’ design strengths is that the outside protection plate is shared across all 9100 variants and also fits the G5 series:
| Part | Description | Pack Size |
|---|---|---|
| 06-0200-51 | Standard outside plate | 10/case |
| 06-0200-51-B | Standard outside plate (bulk) | 50/case |
| 06-0200-52 | Scratch-resistant outside plate | 10/case |
| 06-0200-52-B | Scratch-resistant (bulk) | 50/case |
| 06-0200-53 | High-temperature outside plate | 10/case |
| 06-0200-53-B | High-temperature (bulk) | 50/case |
The scratch-resistant 06-0200-52 is worth the modest premium for welders who do a lot of positional work where the outside of the helmet is close to workpiece surfaces. The high-temperature 06-0200-53 is for applications with extreme radiant heat exposure.
Inside Cover Lenses: Variant-Specific
The inside protection plate is not shared across variants. Each ADF size has a specific inside plate. Ordering the wrong inside plate is the most common parts mistake on the 9100 series.
| ADF Variant | Inside Plate Part Number | Pack |
|---|---|---|
| 9100V | 06-0200-10 | 5/case |
| 9100V (bulk) | 06-0200-10-B | 25/case |
| 9100X | 06-0200-20 | 5/case |
| 9100X (bulk) | 06-0200-20-B | 25/case |
| 9100XX / 9100XXi | 06-0200-30 | 5/case |
| 9100XX / 9100XXi (bulk) | 06-0200-30-B | 25/case |
Match the inside plate to your ADF variant. The 9100XX and 9100XXi share the same inside plate (06-0200-30).
Shell and Front Panel Parts
Silver front panel - 06-0300-55 (5-pack: 06-0300-55-B) The exterior shell face of the 9100 helmet. Replaceable if cracked or heavily spatter-damaged. Available in the standard silver finish.

Wide-view grinding visor frame (9100 FX/FX-Air) - 06-0700-63 and 06-0700-64 For flip-front 9100 FX variants. The grinding visor frames are 06-0700-63 (standard) and 06-0700-64 (black). These are specific to flip-front configurations.

Adflo PAPR System Parts (For 9100 FX-Air)
The 9100 FX-Air is the Adflo-integrated variant. The Adflo system has its own separate parts:
Adflo battery - standard and heavy-duty Li-Ion packs The Adflo uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, not a coin cell. The heavy-duty Adflo battery (part 837631) provides 10-13 hours runtime. The standard battery provides approximately 8 hours. These are separate from the ADF’s 04-0320-00 batteries.
Adflo HEPA filter Replaced when breathing resistance increases or the low-flow alarm activates. Available from 3M in standard and spark-arrestor configurations.
Adflo odor filter An optional add-on for environments with gaseous contaminants in addition to particulates.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the inside cover lenses the same across all 9100 variants? No. Each variant uses a specific inside plate: 9100V (06-0200-10), 9100X (06-0200-20), 9100XX/XXi (06-0200-30). Only the outside cover lens (06-0200-51) is shared.
Can I upgrade a 9100XX to a 9100XXi? Yes, by replacing the ADF cartridge with the 06-0000-30i XXi cartridge. The shell, headband, and outside cover lenses remain the same.
How many batteries does the 9100 series use? Two per ADF, part 04-0320-00. They are located in the headband assembly.
What is the difference between the standard and scratch-resistant outside cover lens? The 06-0200-52 scratch-resistant plate has a harder surface coating that resists scratching from grinding debris and workpiece contact. For positional and grinding work, it lasts longer than the standard 06-0200-51.
Does the 9100 FX-Air have the same ADF as a standard 9100? The 9100 FX-Air uses a 9100 ADF (same cartridges) in a flip-front shell with the Adflo PAPR integration. The ADF parts are the same; the shell parts differ.
What is the Adflo battery part number? The heavy-duty Adflo battery is 837631 (approximately 10-13 hours runtime). The standard Adflo battery provides approximately 8 hours. Both are sold by 3M and authorized distributors.
