| Abstract |
Description of the apparatus and testing methods used and the results obtained with some 400 pairs of safety spectacles commercially available in France in 1974. Classification of lenses by their geometric characteristics and construction material. The different trials investigated strength of construction, resistance to the impact of small projectiles and to flying molten metallic particles, heat stability, flame resistance, resistance to abrasion and scratching, and optical quality. Neutral lenses were found to produce optical aberrations when mounted in certain types of frame. The authors conclude that no ideal glasses offering complete protection and satisfactory comfort in all conditions can exist. Recommendations and a summary table of the main selection criteria permit a choice to be made on the basis of the hazards against which protection is sought and the conditions of use; these criteria are also of interest to manufacturers. |
