Gently position the sealing plate of the glove-leak tester against the glove-port ring of the glove/gauntlet

e) Press the unit firmly against the glove port with a constant force, and carefully observe the reading of the
manometer. The action of pressing the unit with different forces may cause fluctuations of ± 3 Pa to
± 4 Pa; again, this will not adversely effect the results or sensitivity of the tests. With experience,
