Glove size tables

Before you know how to determine the size of gloves, it is necessary not only to take measurements, but also to establish for what work they are intended.

Construction and design requirements state that gloves should provide the greatest degree of protection in the intended conditions of their end use.

In this regard, GOST and international standard clearly governed by various physical and mechanical indicators.

Glove requirements

Among the main indicators, according to which gloves are regulated, should be highlighted:

• Composition and thickness the material from which this hand protection is made;
• Permeability acids, alkalis and other hazardous substances;
• Strength when stretched;
• Resistance tearing, etc.

Convenient design is undoubtedly a prerequisite for safety. Accordingly, different sizes are provided for different types of work, and special attention is paid to the shortest possible length of the glove.

[attention type = green] The manufacturer must indicate "Suitable for special use" if the length of the gloves is less than the minimum required by the standard. [/ attention]

Determine the size of men's and women's gloves

Before determining the size of the gloves, you must measure the circumference of the palm with a centimeter tape without using the thumb and convert centimeters to inches.

When taking this measurement, it is necessary to slightly bend four fingers, as if holding the measuring tape. In order to find out how to determine the size of men's gloves, you do not need to do complicated calculations, just use the table.

Sizes of gloves for men: table

From the following table, you can see how to determine size of women's gloves.

Based on the data obtained and taking into account the desired length, the size of the gloves can also be set.

How to determine the size of gloves: table

Brush length* - calculated as the distance between the wrist and the tip of the middle finger.

There is a standard EN420, according to which, gloves are classified by purpose and method of manufacture.

Requirements for basic dimensions, depending on the type of gloves (not less):

1 - the total length of the glove, 2 - the width at the level of the bend of the napkin, 3 - the length of the napkin of the thumb.

In fact, manufacturers produce gloves in length 310-330 mm... Supplement if necessary elongated arm, then the length reaches 380 mm... Such gloves are in demand when work with bulk chemicals and solutions of acids and alkalis.

How to determine the size of rubber gloves

In this case, gloves are divided into two types, depending on their purpose:

• Type I- for rough work, thickness S is 0.6-0.9 mm.
• Type II- for delicate work, thickness 0.2-0.4 mm.

Standard length of gloves L must be at least 300 mm.

The glove sizes shown in the table are set GOST 20010-93 and refer to rubber technical gloves.

In production disposable rubber gloves the following data is used.

There is one more indicator that allows you to choose the most comfortable size of gloves - degree of freedom of movement... Indeed, it is often required to perform precise manipulations, while the movements of the fingers should not be constrained.

During the experiment it is necessary to lift the rod from a flat surface three times within 30 seconds... Only the thumb and forefinger are involved.

All these data are relevant if the indicators of control of norms and quality obtained during the experiments are observed.
