The ANSI cut standard uses a razor blade in its testing method to determine the weight in grams needed to cut through the material of the glove using linear motion. A cut level is then assigned to the gloves material, determined by the range of weight used during testing.
The EN 388 cut standard uses a circular blade, under a fixed load, in its testing method to determine the blade rotations needed to cut through the material of the glove. A cut level is then assigned to the gloves material, determined by the number of blade rotations used during testing. Additionally, a cut test using a TDM 100 cut test machine is also performed. This test, measured in Newtons, will measure the cut resistance with a straight blade. This will add an additional 6 levels to the cut rate standard, which are represented by letters A to F.
Cut Level | Weight (G) Needed to cut with 1" (25mm) blade travel | Average cut index (10 measurements) |
---|---|---|
0 | <119 | <1.2 |
1 | 12-249 | 1.2-2.4 |
2 | 250-499 | 2.5-4.9 |
3 | 500-999 | 5.0-9.9 |
4 | 1000-1999 | 10.0-19.9 |
5 | >2000 | >20 |
