Special Purpose Machines: (SPM) Glove Integrity Test Systems
Today it is difficult to find equipment to test the integrity of gloves that comes with performance qualification (PQ) and this is mainly due to the lack of test repeatability. Although there are many different methods available in the industry, the method used by the greatest portion of the users to test the integrity of the gloves is the Positive Pressure Decay method which follows the international standard ISO 14644-7.
- Prior to commencement of test it is important to visually inspect the glove/gauntlets for any obvious damage.
- Make sure all fingers on the glove extend into the separative device.
- Connect the airline to the separative device.
- Switch on the manometer.
- Adjust manometer to zero by pressing the “zeroing button” while holding the glove-leak tester in free space. Small variations of ± 3 Pa to ± 4 Pa from zero will not adversely affect the result or the sensitivity of the tests.
- Fit the sealing cap of the glove-leak tester over the outer port ring of the glove to be tested.
- Inflate the glove by operating the valve. The gauge of the manometer will display the pressure within the glove in pascals. The glove should be inflated to a minimum of 500 Pa and a maximum of 1 000 Pa; this may take a number of injections of air to reach the required pressure as the system stabilizes.
- Observe the reading on the manometer. A stable reading will indicate a sound glove.
