Evaluation of Glovebox Gloves for Effective Permeation Control
- Savannah River Site (SRS), Aiken, SC (United States)
A research and development task was undertaken to determine the permeabilities of hydrogen and dry air through different polymeric glove materials that are used to maintain the integrity of glovebox secondary containment. Fifteen different glove samples were obtained from four different manufacturers and samples cut from these gloves were tested. The gloves included baseline butyl rubber, Viton*, Dupont *Hypalon*, polyurethane, as well as composite gloves. The testing indicated that all of the vendor's butyl rubber gloves and the Jung Viton* gloves performed comparably in both gases.
