What are ANSI cut levels?
The ANSI system classifies gloves with nine levels of cut protection. A higher number indicates that the glove’s material required a higher weight to penetrate it with a sharp blade. The above chart provides shows all nine levels, ranging from A2 to A9.
What is cut level 1?
Level 1 Cut Resistance is a low level of protection against sharp objects and cutting hazards. As such, Safety Gloves that have Cut Resistance Level 1 should not be used in areas where coming into contact with sharp objects is a likelihood.
What is the best ANSI cut Level?
Who needs the highest level of cut protection? Look for a cut resistance level of A5 or higher (ANSI) and/or E to F (EN 388) if you need gloves for jobs like: Heavy construction. Rigging.
What is cut level 2?
Low cut hazards
Cut level 2: Low cut hazards. This is a good level of protection for most construction work, automotive assembly, or packaging jobs. Cut level 3: Moderate cut hazards. Cut level 3 gloves provide protection for light glass handling and metal stamping jobs.
What is an A3 cut?
A3 provides light to medium cut protection (1000-1499 grams to cut) A4 provides protection for medium cut hazards (1500-2199 grams to cut) A5 provides medium to heavy protection from cut hazards (2200-2999 grams to cut)
What is cut level A8?
Hand and arm protection rated for ANSI Cut Level A8 can withstand up to 5000 grams of cutting load. These PPE items are often used for situations with very high cut hazards including aerospace applications and recycling.
