CUT
Using a TDM Machine, a weighted razor blade is used to cut a 20mm distance across the surface of the glove’s material. The test is repeated 15 times under 3 varied gram weights to form an average. That average is used against the scale in the shown in the table below which assigns a protective cut level based on “distance cut” and the “weight used to perform the cut.”
GLOVE SAFETY
EN388 is the European regulation governing the manufacturer of safety gloves that protect against mechanical hazards, these numbered markings appear on almost all reusable gloves.
- EN388 is the European equivalent of the American ANSI/ISEA 105.
- Level 4 is the maximum rating for abrasion, tear and puncture resistance.
- Cut resistance is measured up to Level 5 or Level F.
- Ratings go from low to high, the lower the number (or letter) being a lesser level of protection.
- If a glove is marked with an X or N/A it means that they haven’t been tested against a threat.
ABRASION
IMPACT
A sample glove pair is cut in half and the back of the hand is placed on an anvil. Using a force gauge that is connected below the anvil, a striker with a force of 5 Joules is dropped on specific back-of-hand locations, knuckles and the fingers and thumb.
PUNCTURE
A sample of the glove’s material is placed between two places on an Instron machine. A weighted pen-shaped probe is dropped at height until the fabric sample has been pierced. The weight used, which ranges between 10 and 150 Newtons of resistance, is rated against the scale in the table to provide a protective puncture rating.
GLOVE SIZING GUIDE
Measure the width of your hand from point A to point B to match your correct size. For a more precise fit, measure the length by the indicated points. If you are between sizes, we recommend sizing down for a snug fit.
