How to measure the resistance of PPE to splashes of molten metal as per ISO 9185
Time: Author: SKYLINE Editor
During the test, the molten metal is splashed onto the PPE using a mechanical arm. The arm is designed to create a specific pattern of splashes, and the amount of splashed metal is controlled using a valve. The PPE is evaluated based on its ability to withstand the molten metal splashes without allowing them to penetrate through to the skin or other sensitive areas.
The Anti-Liquid Molten Metal Splash Test Device is designed to measure the resistance of PPE to splashes of molten metal, which can occur during metalworking operations. The test device is used to evaluate the effectiveness of PPE in protecting workers from molten metal splashes. The device is also used to certify PPE that meets the requirements of the ISO 9185:2007 standard.
The ISO 9185:2007 standard specifies the criteria for the evaluation of PPE based on the amount of molten metal that penetrates through the material. The standard defines different levels of performance, ranging from Level 0 to Level 4. Level 0 indicates that no molten metal penetration occurred, while Level 4 indicates complete penetration.
In conclusion, the Anti-Liquid Molten Metal Splash Test Device is an essential tool for evaluating the effectiveness of PPE in protecting workers from the hazards of molten metal splashes. The device is designed to simulate the conditions of metalworking operations and to measure the resistance of PPE to molten metal splashes. The ISO 9185:2007 standard provides guidelines for the design, construction, and use of the test device, as well as criteria for the evaluation of PPE. By using the test device and following the guidelines of the standard, manufacturers can ensure that their PPE meets the requirements for protecting workers in the metalworking industry.
