Measure the circumference of your dominant hand just below your knuckles. Compare the measurements to the size chart below to find your glove size. The size measurements are in inches and relate directly to the glove size. Please note we do advise Cotton Under Gloves to be worn under the Rubber Insulated Gloves, so you need to make a small allowance for that when deciding on glove size.Cat 1 Electrical Safety Gloves
- Fully insulated gloves test stamped for working voltages 7500V AC
- Gloves are tested and certified to EN 60903 and IEC 60903
- The EN/IEC 60903 standards advise visual inspection by inflation of the glove in order to detect air leaks. This can be carried out by the pneumatic glove tester
- These gloves must be used with leather over gloves, to ensure protection against damage.
- We would also recommend using these with cotton under gloves for extra cleanliness.
- Thickness : 1.5mm
- Length: 360mm
- Sizes 7,8,9,10,11,12 available
Mechanical requirements :
– Tensile strength > 16 Mpa
– Puncture resistance > 18 N/mm
– Elongation at break > 600 %
– Tension set
AGEING REQUIREMENTS :
Conditioning of the gloves in an air oven at 70 ± 2 °C during 168 hours :
– The tensile strength and the elongation at break must be at least equal to 80% of non-conditioning gloves. The tension set must not exceed 15%.
– Gloves must pass the proof test voltage and the withstand test voltage.
THERMAL TESTS :
· RESISTANCE TO LOW TEMPERATURE :
Conditioning of gloves for 1 hour at -25 ± 3°C. Tests are satisfactory if no tearing, breaking or cracking after folding is
visible on the cuff and if the gloves pass the proof test voltage and the withstand test voltage.
· FLAME RETARDANCY TEST :
Application of a flame at a finger tips for 10 seconds. Test is satisfactory if, after 55 seconds, the flame has not reached the
marker located 55 mm away at the other end.
SPECIAL PROPERTIES
· CATEGORY H (oil resistance)
Conditioning of gloves by immersion for 24 hr in oil (liquid 102) at 70 ± 2 °C:
Proof and withstand test voltage
Mechanical resistance : > 50% of non conditioning gloves
· CATEGORY A (resistance to acid)
Conditioning of gloves by immersion for 8 hr in sulphuric acid solution (32° Be) heated at 23 ± 2 °C:
Proof and withstand test voltage
Mechanical resistance : > 75% of non conditioning gloves
· CATEGORY Z (resistance to ozone)
Conditioning of gloves for 3 hr in a chamber at 40 ± 2 °C and in a 1 ± 0.01 mg/m3 ozone concentration
Visual control
Proof and withstand test voltage
· CATEGORY C : (resistance to very low temperatures)
Conditioning of gloves for 24 hr at -40 ± 3 °C. and then shall be folded at the wrist in order to be placed between two
polyethylene plate and being subjected to a force of 100 N for 30 seconds :
Visual control
Proof and withstand test voltage
· CATEGORY R = A + Z + H
PACKING :
Each pair of gloves is packaged in an opaque sachet with a direction of use inside. On the packaging, the following information is given : class, size, categories, type of cuff, length of gloves, test date, manufacture and validation batch numbers. The sachet and instruction for use are certified as part of the PPE and must be kept with the gloves.
