To perform the test, the following procedure is recommended.
a) Switch on the manometer.
b) If the manometer has a HI-LO range switch, select the LO range setting.
c) Adjust the manometer to zero. Small variations of ± 3 Pa to ± 4 Pa from zero will not adversely effect the
result or the sensitivity of the tests. Once the unit has been “zeroed”, the unit can be used to test the
integrity of gloves/gauntlets.
d) Gently position the sealing plate of the glove-leak tester against the glove-port ring of the glove/gauntlet
to be tested, taking care to ensure that the sealing plate is aligned with the glove port. Forceful
positioning of the unit may trap a small positive pressure of air between the unit and the glove.
