A pneumatic tester for insulating gloves is a device used to test the integrity of electrical insulating gloves, which are essential for the safety of workers dealing with electrical equipment. These gloves must be free of holes, punctures, and other defects that could compromise their insulating properties. The pneumatic tester helps ensure the gloves' reliability by detecting any leaks or weaknesses.

Application:

  • For compulsory control of insulating gloves before use.
  • Checking is done by inflating and immersing in water the insulating gloves.
  • Device recommended by standard IEC 60903:2014 for the periodic testing of insulating gloves from class 00 to 4


Features:

  • Body of molded thermosetting material resting on a circular collar and comprising a frustoconical tip with two grooves for receiving the glove to be tested.
  • Central piston located at the base of the unit.
  • Soft valve located at the bottom of the bowl, at the top.
  • Maintenance of the insulating glove in position when inflated by two elastic rings


Key Features of a Pneumatic Tester for Insulating Gloves:

  1. Air Inflation Mechanism: The tester typically has a system for inflating the glove with air. The glove is placed onto a form or mandrel that matches its shape, and air is pumped into the glove to a specified pressure level.

  2. Leak Detection: Once the glove is inflated, the tester can monitor the air pressure. If the pressure drops over time, this indicates a leak in the glove.

  3. Visual Inspection: After inflation, the glove can be visually inspected for defects. Inflating the glove makes it easier to see any small holes or tears that might not be visible when the glove is not under pressure.

  4. Ease of Use: Many pneumatic testers are designed to be user-friendly, allowing for quick and efficient testing. This is particularly important in environments where many gloves need to be tested regularly.

  5. Portable or Bench-Mounted: Pneumatic testers can be portable for use in the field or bench-mounted for use in a lab or workshop setting. Portability can be a key feature for workers who need to perform tests at different locations.

  6. Durability: Given the safety-critical nature of the gloves being tested, the tester itself needs to be robust and reliable, capable of providing consistent results over time.

Testing Process:

  1. Preparation: The glove is inspected for any visible damage before testing. The glove is then placed on the form or mandrel of the pneumatic tester.

  2. Inflation: The glove is inflated using the tester's air pump. The pressure is increased to the required level according to the glove’s specifications.

  3. Leak Detection: Once inflated, the tester monitors the glove for any loss of pressure. The user may also manually inspect the glove for signs of air escaping.

  4. Evaluation: If the glove maintains pressure without signs of leakage, it passes the test. If not, it fails, indicating that the glove is unsafe for use.

  5. Documentation: The results of the test should be recorded for safety compliance and future reference.

Applications:

  • Electrical Safety: Primarily used by electricians and other professionals who work with high-voltage equipment.
  • Manufacturing: Quality control in the production of insulating gloves.
  • Maintenance: Routine checks of gloves used in industrial settings to ensure they remain in good condition.

A pneumatic tester is an essential tool for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of insulating gloves, helping to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with safety standards.
