The ANSI Abrasion standard tests the ability of gloves to resist rubbing of harsh or rough surfaces. The loss of material is measured when gloves according to the ASTM D3389-10 or ASTM D3884-09 standards. The first four levels are tested at a 500-gram load:
Level 0 - glove failed under 100 cycles
Level 1 - glove failed between 100-499 cycles
Level 2 - glove failed between 500-999 cycles
Level 3 - glove failed over 1,000 cycles
The last three levels are tested at a 1,000-gram load:
Level 4 - glove failed between 3,000-9,999 cycles
Level 5 - glove failed between 10,000-19,999 cycles
