ASA S2.73 – Mechanical Vibration and Shock – Hand-arm Vibration – Method for the Measurement and Evaluation of the Vibration Transmissibility of Gloves at the Palm of the Hand

This American National Standard specifies a method for the laboratory measurement, data analysis, and reporting of the vibration transmissability of a glove with a vibration-reducing material that covers the palm, fingers, and thumb of the hand. This American National Standard specifies vibration transmissibility in terms of vibration transmitted from a handle through a glove to the palm of the hand in one-third-octave frequency bands with center frequencies of 25 Hz to 1,250 Hz.

The measurement procedure specified in this American National Standard can also be used to measure the vibration transmissibility of a material that is being evaluated for use to cover a handle of a machine or for potential use in a glove. However, results from this test cannot be used to certify that a material used to cover a handle meets the requirements of this American National Standard tobe classified as an antivibration covering. A material tested in this manner could later be placed in a glove. When this is the case, the glove needs to be tested in accordance with the measurement procedure of this American National Standard and needs to mee the vibration attenuation performance requirements of this American National Standard in order to be classified as an antivibration glove.
