CLEARANCE AND PERFORMANCE VALUES FOR THE BARE-HANDED AND THE PRESSURE- GLOVED OPERATOR

Abstract

The report summarizes hand and arm dimensional, clearance, and strength data of 27 adult males wearing the A/P22S-2 full-pressure suit. Thirty-six measures were obtained under each of three conditions: bare-handed; gloved and unpressurized; and gloved and pressurized. The data are both summarized for all subjects and reported independently by glove size worn. Uses of the data are suggested and specific design values recommended.
