CUT RESISTANCE TESTERS

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document provides details on compact and user-friendly benchtop instruments designed to test the resistance of materials to cutting by sharp objects, specifically for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like gloves and clothing. These instruments comply with international standards and are available in two models: the Glove Cut Tester (code 3394A) and the Linear Cut Resistance Tester (code 3394B).

Available Models:

Glove Cut Tester (code 3394A): Utilizes a circular blade to measure cut resistance.
Linear Cut Resistance Tester (code 3394B): Uses a linear blade for testing.

Cut Resistance Rating: The cut resistance is rated on a scale, with different parameters such as abrasion, circular cut, tear, puncture, and linear cut being evaluated. The highest level of protection is indicated by a rating of 5 for circular cuts and F for linear cuts.

Included Accessories: Both models come with a digital control panel, safety cover, and various testing materials such as aluminum foil, filter paper, and blades. The Glove Cut Tester includes a roll of aluminum foil, a set of filter paper, and a pack of reference fabric, while the Linear Cut Resistance Tester includes combinable weights, linear blades, and a neoprene sheet for calibration.

Reference Standards: The testing procedures adhere to standards such as UNI EN 388, UNI EN ISO 13997, and ASTM F2992/F2992M, ensuring compliance with recognized safety and performance benchmarks.

Test Methods:

Glove Cut Tester: Measures the number of cycles required to cut the material at a constant speed, with results displayed on a digital panel.
Linear Cut Resistance Tester: Evaluates the force needed to cut through material using a straight blade, with a focus on the blade stroke length and force applied.

Dimensions and Power Supply:

Glove Cut Tester: Weighs 39 kg, dimensions 800 x 390 x 400 mm, power supply 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz.
Linear Cut Resistance Tester: Weighs 21 kg, dimensions 550 x 320 x 260 mm, power supply 230 Vac, 50/60 Hz.

Optional Accessories & Consumables: Additional items such as calibration reports, extra blades, and specific testing materials are available for both models to enhance testing capabilities.

Equipment to test the resistance to cutting of materials used for protective gloves and clothes, according to the EN 388 Standard. Test Method: This type of test is based on the number of cycles required to cut the material at a constant speed. The instrument will automatically stop as soon as the material to be tested - previously situated on the sample holder - is cut. The digital display on the control panel will show the number of cycles performed to cut the sample. The final result is obtained by comparing the number of cycles performed by the instrument to cut the sample, with the number...
