Purpose of use:
Apparatus is intended for cut resistance testing of
protective gloves, safety, protective and occupational
footwear and other products.
Apparatus is made according to the requirements and apply
for the tests according to the following standards:
Standards: EN 388; c. 6.2,
EN ISO 20344; c. 6.14
Operating principle:
Test specimen and control specimen are cut by a
counter-rotating circular blade with a diameter of (45 ±
0,5) mm, a thickness of (0,3 ± 0,03)
mm, total cutting angle of 30° to 35° and hardness of 700 HV to 720 HV which moves with an alternating motion of 50 mm under a specified load
of (5 ± 0,5) N with counter that counts down 1/10
cycle of motion with a resulting sinusoidal cutting speed
of the blade at (8 ± 2) cm/s.
Protective gloves against mechanical risks – Blade cut
resistance
Personal protective equipment – Test methods for footwear –
Determination of
resistance of upper to cutting

accommodation the test specimen carrier and control
specimen carrier, mechanism with a circular blade, holder
of circular blade mechanism in the upper position, test
specimen carrier (5 slots) and control specimen carrier (6
slots).
