The pneumatic tester for insulating gloves allows for easy checking of the general condition of insulating rubber gloves. The principle involves inflating the glove using a manual pump to carry out a visual inspection under pressure and to detect any air leaks.
For a more precise check, the inflated glove can be submerged for a few seconds in water to observe the possible presence of air bubbles. This test allows for quick identification of a puncture or a sealing defect.
The tester is equipped with a valve that maintains the inflated glove during inspection, as well as two elastic rings that hold the glove securely on the cone of the tester. It is suitable for insulating gloves made of rubber.
