Safety Glove & Shoe Upper Cutting Tester GT-KC29
The Safety Glove & Shoe Upper Cutting Tester GT-KC29 is designed to evaluate the cutting resistance of protective gloves and footwear upper materials.
During testing, the instrument simulates a controlled cutting action on the test specimen to help determine its resistance to blade cutting. It is particularly useful for manufacturers developing cut-resistant gloves and laboratories performing PPE quality control.
The GT-KC29 Safety Glove & Shoe Upper Cutting Tester is applicable to EN 388 , ISO 20344 and GB/T 20991 , making it suitable for testing applications involving protective gloves and safety footwear materials.
Why Is Glove Cut Resistance Testing Important?
Cut-resistant gloves are widely used where workers may encounter sharp edges, blades, metal components or other cutting hazards.
Under EN 388, protective gloves against mechanical risks are evaluated for several performance properties, including abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance. The standard also includes a straight-blade TDM cut resistance method for applicable materials.
Therefore, reliable cut resistance testing equipment is essential for:
Product development
Quality control
Material comparison
PPE performance verification
Compliance testing
Laboratory testing
Heat Transfer Index Tester GT-C95
The Heat Transfer Index Tester GT-C95 is designed for evaluating the thermal protection performance of protective materials by measuring heat transfer characteristics.
For manufacturers developing protective gloves, clothing and other heat-resistant PPE, heat transfer testing can provide important information about how quickly thermal energy passes through a material.
Typical Testing Applications
GT-C95 Heat Transfer Index Tester can be considered for testing applications involving:
Heat-resistant gloves
Protective clothing
Thermal protective materials
Industrial PPE
Fire-resistant materials
High-temperature protective products
Gloves Heat Contact Machine GT-C101
The Gloves Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is designed to evaluate the resistance of protective gloves and other heat-resistant materials to contact with high-temperature surfaces.
The test simulates a glove or protective material coming into contact with a heated surface and evaluates the transfer of heat through the test specimen.
This makes GT-C101 particularly relevant to gloves used in industries where workers may encounter hot surfaces, including:
Metal processing
Welding
Casting
Foundries
Glass manufacturing
Industrial manufacturing
High-temperature working environments
Key Testing Applications
Why Contact Heat Testing Matters
A glove can appear heat-resistant while still allowing excessive heat to transfer through the material.
Contact heat testing helps manufacturers understand how effectively a glove delays heat transmission and supports the development of protective products for high-temperature working environments.
