Gloves Cut Resistance Testing Machine
Category：Textile Functional Tester
Introduction
The Gloves Cut Resistance Testing Machine is designed for evaluating the cutting resistance of safety gloves, protective gloves, leather, and other soft materials. It is suitable for testing knife-resistance in safety gloves protection zones but is not suitable for extremely hard material gloves. The instrument provides accurate, repeatable, and standardized results for safety certification and quality control purposes.
Application
The machine is suitable for:
(1) Safety Gloves Industry: Testing cut resistance of industrial, construction, and protective gloves.
(2) Leather and Textile Products: Evaluating knife-resistance of leather, coated fabrics, and synthetic protective materials.
(3) Quality Control: Ensuring compliance of gloves and protective materials with international standards.
(4) Research and Development: Optimizing glove materials for cut-resistance performance.
Specific products tested include: industrial safety gloves, leather work gloves, anti-cut protective gloves, textile protective gloves, and composite safety materials.
Standards
The instrument complies with the following international and national standards:
(1) EN ISO 20344 – Personal protective equipment – Test methods for protective gloves
(2) GB/T 20991 – Safety gloves – Cut resistance test
(3) EN 388 – Protective gloves against mechanical risks
(4) EN 340 – General requirements for protective gloves
