New Glove Box Controls Relative Humidity or Oxygen Levels

15 Apr, 2015

Published over 11 years ago. See the latest and most current information on Glove boxes.

The new Nitrogen Purge Series of Glove Boxes from Flow Sciences, Inc. allow the user to purge Relative Humidity or Oxygen Levels down to ~2%.

These enclosures are capable of protecting the process by nearly eliminating moisture or oxygen with the flow of inert gas.

Safety of operator and process is accomplished with HEPA filtration, a one way check valve, and the ability to connect to a house exhaust system.

The Flow Sciences design uses AGS guidelines. The glove box is designed with a 28” depth and comfortable 10” oval glove ports which allow for minimised technician arm, wrist, and shoulder fatigue while maintaining a controlled environment.

The Nitrogen Metering System (FS1500) is designed to conserve nitrogen. It features trending graphs that display RH%, O2, and temperature. There are two adjustable flow rates one for high flow purge and the other for low flow to maintain. The nitrogen saving auto shut off activates when the set point of RH% or O2 is reached. Audio and visual alarms trigger when outside the set point range.

These Nitrogen Purge Glove Boxes are available in 3' and 4' widths and two exhaust options.
