| Abstract |
Tests were made on the lenses of several hundred safety goggles and parameters that were thought to have influenced the impact strength were studied. Most of the goggles were retrieved after various periods of use in a wide range of conditions. The important parameters were ambient temperature and whether the goggles were kept in the original boxes. Most new goggles had insufficient excess strength to allow for deterioration in use. Some goggle frames were also examined. Although a few possessed an impact resistance at least equal to that of the lens, the frames of most types were incapable of resisting the impact of a standard test. |
