Filters for welding fumes

Caro Giuseppe,
So far nobody has answered your question, so I'll shoot one.
On this same AWS site there are quite a few manufacturers of welding material advertising their products. Before anything, make a search in this site. If this doesn't work, go to the yellow pages of the city that you live and take a look under the words "Welding material". Give a couple (or three, or four) phone calls to the people advertised there. If this still doesn't work, take a look at the Welding Journal, published by AWS. It shouldn't be that difficult to find the Journal if you're not a member of AWS: a good technical library (university or vocational high school) should have it.
Datti da fare e in bocca al lupo.

I suppose it depends what you want to use the filters for filtering. Is it for fumes or particulate smoke?

I agree with John here. You arent specific on what you are filtering from. Are you wanting a filter to keep the fumes out of your lungs, nose, mouth? Or are you more concerned with the atmosphere in your shop?
