This standard specifies the definition of adult hand size, the setting of size series, the size series of control parts and size markings. This standard applies to the specification design, production and selection of gloves, and also to the design, production and selection of light industrial products and hand tools.


Some standard content:

GB/T16252—1996
This standard is based on the characteristics of the hand size distribution of Chinese adults, combined with the application of hand size in the design of wool handling devices, hand tools, protective gloves and light industrial products, and reasonably sets the hand size of Chinese adults (hereinafter referred to as hand type). This standard is based on the national adult body size survey conducted in my country from 1986 to 1987, with more than 11,000 men and women as samples. The sample was determined by stratified cluster random sampling method and distributed in 119 enterprises and institutions in 16 provinces and cities across the country, which is representative. The measurement items include the items on hand size in ISO/DIS7250 anthropometric items: hand length, hand width, index finger length and other major parameters. It is convenient for comparison and analysis with international standards in the future. The measurement method of human hand size involved in this standard is consistent with the draft international standard. The measurement method of the additional items to meet the design of hand type is also consistent with GB3975 Anthropometric Terminology and GB5703 "Anthropometric Methods"; some special items are completely measured by industry and anthropology specific methods. The measurement method is shown in Appendix C. Based on the calculation and analysis of the hand length and hand width size data of Chinese adults, this standard gives the hand shape distribution and its coverage rate of Chinese adult men and women respectively, and for the shape of hand tool grippers, manipulators, gloves and other product designs, the requirements for the size of other items of the hand are determined by measuring specific samples. The regression equation of these items and the main items of the hand (such as hand length and hand width) can be accurately determined by measuring specific samples. While reasonably dividing the hand shape through the main items of the hand, the size values ​​of other control parts of the hand required in a specific design can be accurately determined, so that the entire design work not only conforms to the characteristics of the hand shape distribution of Chinese adults, but also meets the other hand item sizes required by the design in a targeted manner. Appendix A and Appendix B in this standard are standard appendices, and Appendix C is a prompt appendix. This standard is proposed and managed by the China Institute of Standardization and Information Classification and Coding. The drafting unit of this standard is the China Institute of Standardization and Information Classification and Coding. The main drafters of this standard are Hua Donghong and Xiao Hui. 1 Scope
National Standard of the People's Republic of China
Hand sizing system-Adult
GB/T 16252 --- 1996
This standard specifies the definition of adult hand size, the setting of size series, the size series of control parts and size markings. This standard is applicable to the specification design, production and selection of gloves, and also to the design, production and selection of light industrial products and hand tools. 2 Referenced standards
The provisions contained in the following standards constitute the provisions of this standard through reference in this standard. When this standard is published, the versions shown are valid. All standards will be revised, and the parties using this standard should explore the possibility of using the latest versions of the following standards. GB3975-83 Anthropometric terms
GB5703-85 Anthropometric methods
3 Definitions
The terms used in this standard are consistent with GB3975. 3.1 Hand size
Size refers to the length of the hand, expressed in hand length. Size refers to the width of the hand, expressed in hand width. Both are in mm, indicating the size of the hand.
3.2 Control parts
refers to other hand size items except hand length and hand width. 4 Hand size setting
Hand size setting is based on the actual distribution of hand length and hand width data of adult men (18-60 years old) and adult women (18-55 years old).
4.7 Hand size series classification
Hand length is divided into 10 mm grades, and hand width is divided into 5 mm grades. 4.2 Hand size setting
Set according to the coverage rate of adult hand size (see Appendix A): If the coverage rate of a certain size position is not less than 5%, then the size is set at that position; if the coverage rate of a certain size position is less than 5%, then no size is set at that position. 4.2.1 Men's hand size setting
Men's hand size setting is shown in Table 1.
Approved by the State Administration of Technical Supervision on March 26, 1996 and implemented on October 1, 1996
4.2.2 Women's hand size setting
See Table 2 for women's hand size setting

Table 2 Women's hand size setting
5.1.1 Select the 20 measurement items involved in product design as control parts. 5.1.2 Control parts are divided into three categories: length, width and circumference. 80
) Length category: palm length, distance between the forefinger and the base of the thumb, length of the index finger, length of the middle finger, length of the ring finger and length of the little finger. 90
b) Width category: ulnar half palm width, thenar width, palm thickness, index finger proximal joint width, middle finger proximal joint width, ring finger proximal joint width, little finger proximal joint width:
c) Circumference category: palm circumference. thumb joint circumference, index finger proximal joint circumference, middle finger proximal joint circumference, ring finger proximal joint circumference, little finger proximal joint circumference.
5.2 Calculation of control part size
5.2.1 According to the regression equation of the control part size and hand length and hand width, the size of the hand control part corresponding to the hand size can be calculated and determined respectively. Among them, the length type size changes accordingly with the change of hand length size, and the width type and circumference type size change accordingly with the change of hand width size. 5.2.2 Table 3 gives the regression equation of the control part size of men and women.
