What is Cut Resistance and Why is it Important?
Cut resistance is a critical test that determines how resistant protective clothing is to cutting tools. This test is essential to ensure the safety of people working in particularly hazardous work environments. In the USB Certification laboratory, we perform the cut resistance determination in accordance with TS EN ISO 13997:2023 and TS EN 388+A1:2019 standards.
What are TS EN ISO 13997:2023 and TS EN 388+A1:2019 Standards?
TS EN ISO 13997: 2023: 2023 and TS EN 388 + A1: 2019 standards are test methods that determine the resistance levels of protective clothing against cutting tools. These standards assess how much resistance the garments offer when in contact with cutting tools and whether they meet safety standards. In our laboratory, we conduct tests in accordance with this standard, ensuring that your products comply with safety standards.
Importance of Shear Strength Tests
Cut resistance tests determine how effective protective clothing is for ensuring safety in hazardous conditions. These tests help to ensure that your products meet the requirements of CE certification processes and also give your products a competitive advantage in the market.
Importance in terms of Environment and Area of Use
Cut resistance is a critical safety factor for garments used in industrial environments, especially where cutting tools are used. Determining the cut resistance of your products ensures that they can be used safely and effectively in a variety of industrial applications.
Shear Resistance Test Process in Our Laboratory
In our laboratory, the determination of shear strength is based on the principle of cutting the sample with a knife under a specified load. During this test, the cutting time and force of the blade are recorded and the cut resistance of the sample is evaluated.
Sample Preparation and Test Process
The testing process starts with the preparation of the specimens according to certain standards and their conditioning in a laboratory environment. The specimens are cut to specific dimensions, placed in a shear test machine and tested with specified forces. The data obtained is used to determine the specimen’s shear strength and the results are reported.
