Welding glove according to DIN EN 388
A welding glove per DIN EN 388 is a heat-resistant leather glove with fire-resistant seams, providing mechanical protection against cuts and thermal protection against burns when handling hot parts.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
The welding glove is made of heat-resistant leather that, due to its special composition and treatment, does not burn at high temperatures. The fire-resistant seams prevent heat from being conducted through the palm.
Metallurgical Relevance & Risks in Welding
Without adequate protection, hot components can cause burns and cuts. A welding glove per DIN EN 388 protects your hands from these hazards and allows safe handling of hot metal parts.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
During welding or handling hot components, always wear a welding glove per DIN EN 388. Make sure the seams are fireproof and the leather is not damaged. When working with metals that burn easily (e.g., aluminum), increased protection is required.
