ASTM F2992-23 pdf download – Standard Test Method For Measuring Cut Resistance Of Materials Used In Protective Clothing With Tomodynamometer Test Equipment.
1.1 This testing method involves evaluating the cut resistance of a material when it is secured in a specimen holder and exposed to a cutting edge with a predetermined load, utilizing a tomodynamometer.
1.1.1 This procedure is not applicable to materials with high porosity, as these materials may allow the cutting edge to make contact with the mounting surface before the actual cutting occurs.
1.1.2 The testing equipment may have limitations when assessing materials with a thickness exceeding 20 mm.
1.2 The values expressed in SI units are considered the standard. The values provided in parentheses following the SI units are for informational purposes only and are not regarded as standard.
