32、e the length (dimension l, as designated in Figure 1) by freely suspending the glove with the middle finger on a vertical graduated rule having a rounded tip so as to fit the shape of the finger tip of the glove. Remove wrinkles and folds without stretching the glove. Record the median measured leng

33、th. For greater ease of measurement, the ruler may be angled backwards slightly so that the glove is in contact with the ruler. 4.3 Width Measure the width (dimension w, as designated in Figure 1), to the nearest mm, using a ruler, with the glove placed on a flat surface. Do not stretch the glove. D

DIN EN 455-2:2015-07 EN 455-2:2015(E)7 5 Strength 5.1 General Different glove materials require different force at bre

38、ak requirements to ensure an acceptable performance. Absolute force at break values do not directly correlate with the in use performance. Selection of appropriate glove materials for the intended application shall be part of the risk management process. When the strength of the glove is tested as d

39、escribed in 5.2 at a temperature of (23 2) C and a relative humidity of (50 5) % r.h. the force at break of gloves shall be as given in Table 3. 5.2 Force at break 5.2.1 Ageing and shelf life requirements are described in EN 455-4:2009. 5.2.2 Obtain one dumb-bell test piece from each of 13 gloves ta

40、ken from a single lot (from seven pairs of gloves where applicable) using a cutter as specified in Figure 2 from the palm, back of the hand or cuff areas of each glove in the test sample, avoiding textured areas if possible and taking the test pieces in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the

41、glove. DIN EN 455-2:2015-07 EN 455-2:2015(E)8 Dimensions in millimetres Key 1 grind 6 mm/min. 2 spacer 3 bolts Figure 2 Cutter for dumb bell specimens 5.2.3 Determine the force at break of the 13 test pieces after conditioning for a minimum of 16 h. The tensometer should be equipped with a load cell

42、 appropriate for the strength of the sample under test, with jaws that firmly grip but do not damage the test specimen and with a crosshead speed of 500 mm/min. If a test piece breaks at the shoulder, it is not necessary to repeat the test on another test piece. 5.2.4 a) Determine the single wall th

43、ickness (tf) of the same glove as in 5.2.2 at a point on the middle finger within (13 3) mm of the fingertip by measuring the double wall thickness as described in method A of ISO 23529:2010, Clause 7.1, using a gauge with a foot pressure of (22 5) kPa. Take the single wall thickness as one half of

44、the measured double wall thickness. DIN EN 455-2:2015-07 EN 455-2:2015(E)9 b) Measure the thickness of the dumb-bell test pieces (tx) as described in method A of ISO 23529:2010, Clause 7.1, using the gauge described in 5.2.4 a). c) Compare the values of tfand tx. If tf/tx 0,9, no correction to the m

45、easured force at break is necessary. If tf/tx 0,9, correct the measured value by multiplying the measured force at break (see 5.2.3) by a factor of tf/tx. Although there is no requirement for thickness in this standard, it is recognised that the fingers of a glove may, because of design or manufactu

46、ring processes, be significantly thinner and therefore weaker in terms of force to break than at the points from which the test pieces were taken. It is important to ensure that the minimum force at break requirements given in Table 3 is maintained at the fingertips. If the difference in thickness b

47、etween the fingertip and the point from which the test pieces were taken is small (less than 10 %), no correction is necessary. If this difference is greater than 10 %, a correction factor based on the relative thickness is applied to the measured force at break to obtain a true estimate of the stre

48、ngth of the glove at the fingertip. 5.2.5 Record the force at break, in N, for each of the 13 samples, corrected as described in 5.2.4 if necessary. The median of the recorded results shall comply with the values of Table 3.
