This PPE garment is designed and certified to protect the wearer against injury caused by accidental exposure to moving high-pressure jets. The garment provides high-pressure water jet protection in specific areas, illustrated as striped in the image below. On the garment, the striped outer fabric indicates where the protective areas are.
The level of protection is shown on the garment label. ProOperator® has Protection Level 2/5/5, corresponding to:
200 bar / 3 000 psi single jet
500 bar / 7 500 psi rotor jet
500 bar / 7 500 psi flat jet
How to read the test results: There is no international standard for the testing of protection levels. Therefore the testing can differ significantly between companies. For this reason it is crucial to be aware of the differences and how and what to properly compare. A protection level of eg. 3 000 bar can mean different things, depending on the pressure, flow, nozzle, distance or speed used while testing. To verify the protective qualities we have chosen the most common working conditions when performing our tests of notified body.
Most nozzles perform at their best between 50 and 100 mm, therefore we have chosen the distance of 75 mm. Rotating tests have been performed with two nozzles (adding more nozzles result in a lower overall impact).
Note! Different values, eg. pressure, flow, nozzle, distance or speed, can give significantly different results!
