High Vacuum Technologies glove boxes

Glove boxes from High Vacuum Technologies are made from aluminium and stainless steel. They are suitable for use by industry and research institutions for the processing of oxygen and water reactive materials, as well as research into light alloys and lithium battery technology. They can also be used for specialised welding of titanium and magnesium with TIG or laser.

The boxes are designed with antechambers for transfer of materials in and out without losing the inert atmosphere, which can be nitrogen gas, helium or argon. Gas scrubbing systems are incorporated into the system to ensure gas purity, while detectors fitted to the glove box show purity in parts per million. The windows are made of safety glass or polycarbonate.

After final assembly the product is helium-leak tested to ensure gas tightness.
