AR/FR Top Grain Goatskin Leather Drivers Glove
Ideal for use in oil and gas applications. Also, this glove offers protection from arc and flash fires.
Features
- Top Grain Goatskin leather palm is soft, abrasion-resistant and is highly recommended for applications requiring tactile sensitivity
- 13G Kevlar fiber liner provides high tensile strength relative to its weight, is inherently cut resistant and will not melt, ignite or conduct electricity
- Arc Rating: ATPV 37 cal/cm2
- Straight thumb increases comfort in closed-fisted work
- Drivers gloves feature slip-on styling to provide good fit and comfort
- Elastic closure sewn inside glove for safety and comfort
Applications
- Handling and Moving Heavy Materials
- Maintenance and Repair Operations
- Operating Heavy Duty Machinery and Tools
Testing Standards
ANSI Cut Level: A4
Test Method: ASTM F2992-15
The new edition of the ANSI/ISEA 105 Standard (2016 ed.) also outlines a new test method for determining the new cut scores. The new ASTM F2992-15 test method allows for only one type of machine to be used, the TDM-100. Under the previous ANSI standard, the old test method ASTM F1790-05, the testing could be performed on either the TDM-100 machine or the CPPT machine. By ensuring uniform testing with one machine, it is easier to compare gram scores for a given material.
EN 388 2016 Results: 3X22BX
- Abrasion: 3
- Cut (Coupe Test): X
- Tear: 2
- Puncture: 2
- Cut (TDM-100 Test): B
- Impact Protection: X
EN 388 is a European Standard. Cut Level is determined by the number of cycles it takes a spinning circular blade, that is pulled across the material under a constant weight of 500 grams, to cut the fabric. As the number of cycles increase, so does the glove's ratings.
PPE Category: 3
ATPV 37 Cal/cm2
The NFPA has identified the various FR hazardous risk category levels, which range from PPE 1 (which is low risk and requires AR clothing with a minimum arc rating of 4), up to PPE 4 (which is high risk and requires AR clothing with a minimum arc rating of 40). Each level, 1-4, is rated at a certain amount of flame resistance measured in cal/cm2.
