Title: Steel glove box (9 Mar 1972) (Engineering Materials). [56 drawings]

Miscellaneous ·
OSTI ID:7185173

Drawings are given for a standard steel glove box, an all purpose enclosure for processing radioactive (alpha) or toxic materials. The inside of the enclosure can be coated with materials to inhibit corrosion from acid or other strong chemicals. The glove box has a ventilation system that is connected to an absolute filter. The enclosure is always held at a negative pressure (2 in. H/sub 2/O). The volume of air flow is such that when the door is opened the air flow is always in so that no contaminates can escape. The enclosure may also include a centrifuge well.
