Standardized Test Methodology for Measuring Pressure Suit Glove Performance and Demonstration Units.

Abstract

This report reflects the effort of a two-phase task for developing a standardized test methodology for comparing pressure gloves and for analyzing current pressure glove performance requirements to determine performance specifications required for an enhanced higher pressure (7 psid maximum) glove for use in high altitude aircraft cockpits and/or the National Aerospace Plane (NASP). To be functional at the higher pressure, new concepts for joint design and new material for glove construction were explored. The end result was a glove design concept that was functionally the best for the defined pressure.
