1.1This test method is used for evaluating how gloves affect an individual wearer’s ability to grip onto a hard surface object.
1.1.1This test method establishes procedures for measuring the maximum torque that can be attained by individual’s bare hand as compared to the maximum torque that is attained by the same individual wearing a glove. The torque is applied to a vertically-mounted pole attached to a torque meter.
1.2This test method is suitable for evaluating gloves and other forms of hand protection that require the wearer to maintain a secure hold on objects.
1.3This test method does not address all effects of wearing gloves on hand functions. Other test methods include those for evaluating the effect of wearing gloves on dexterity, tactility, and other aspects of functional performance.
1.4It is the responsibility of the test laboratory to obtain the necessary and appropriate approval(s) required by their institution for conducting tests using human subjects.
1.5The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
