A FLEXIBLE POLYTHENE GLOVE BOX

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4254143
The need for a glove box capable of maintaining an inert atmosphere arose during the sampling and analysis of the alkali metals. The conventional rigid glove box was found to be unsuitable in practice and also inefficient in theory. The requirement was met by improvising a flexible glove box from thin polythene sheet. The alternative solution a this problem would have required an expensive vacuum glove box with its attendant pumping unit. (auth)
