How to choose?
When looking for protective clothing, there are a number of characteristics to consider. As for fire resistant gloves, they have a letter designation
"A" indicates the resistance of the material to ignition and indicates the time it takes for the fading to occur on its own. "B" stands for resistance to contact with hot objects. The period of time during which the glove does not respond to thermal radiation is indicated by the letter "D".
It is important to pay attention to each indicator in the description of the workwear, including gloves. They always indicate the level of resistance to tears, punctures, high and low temperatures. The type of material affects the strength of the product, this should be taken into account
The type of material affects the strength of the product, this should be taken into account.
To work comfortably with gloves, you need to choose the right size. To do this, you need a measuring tape to find out the girth of the palm at the base of the thumb. This number must be divided by 2.54 and then rounded. The resulting figure will help you find the gloves that are perfect for your hand size. The product will grip the wrist well, so there will be no discomfort.
Working in environments with increased health hazards must be done with extreme care and effective protection. The presence of workwear, which is offered in different versions, will not only allow you to perform your task correctly, but also provide comfort and safety.
Heat resistant gloves are a great addition and their benefits will be appreciated.
How to choose heat resistant gloves, see below.
Features and scope
Heat-resistant gloves must meet the requirements of GOST, therefore, they are manufactured in compliance with the relevant standards. These five-fingered products have elongated leggings, and there is often a cotton lining inside. Split leather is used as the main material; some manufacturers prefer to take split calfskin.
The rupture cycle must be at least 500, the cut resistance is measured in the index 2.5, and the rupture strength is 25 N.
It is a manufacturing type of product for employees in the electric power industry and other industrial enterprises. The purpose of the gloves is to protect hands from radiation, open flames, sparks, heated surfaces, convective heat, splashes of molten metal. However, this type of workwear is suitable for working in conditions and with low temperatures, as it protects against frostbite.
The difference between this product and ordinary gloves is that a special fire-resistant fabric is used for their production, which has anti-static or aramid fibers. The material can be exposed to radiation, but at the same time continues to protect against burns, even in contact with a hot surface. Fireproof gloves are often used on anvils, where workers are often in contact with metal heated in a flame.
It is worth noting that requirements are put forward for thermal gloves not only in terms of strength, but also convenience. This element should improve the comfort of working in high temperature areas. The movement should be free, the fabric should not cause allergies, and the seams should not press on the fingers. Such heat-protective gloves according to GOST are in great demand.
