TEST DISC, TEST SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING THE SEAL OF A GLOVE WHICH IS INSTALLED IN A PORT OF AN ISOLATOR, A GLOVE AND AN ISOLATOR FOR USE WITH THE TEST SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a test system and a corresponding method for testingthe seal of aglove which is installed in a port of an isolator, wherein the test system hasa test disc (1, 1')which can be connected in a hermetically sealed fashion to the port, whereinthe glove encloseswith the test disc (1, 1') a glove volume which can be placed under excesspressure by the testdisc (1, 1"), wherein the test disc (1, 1') has a pressure-measuring devicewith a microprocessorand a memory for recording and storing a pressure profile in the glove volumeand a datainterface. In addition, the invention relates to a glove which is suitable foruse with such a testsystem and to a corresponding isolatorIn order to be able to make more resilient statements regarding the residualservice life of thegloves and in order to minimize failure times, the test disc (1, 1') has areading device (15) forreading out a first identification element arranged on the glove and a secondidentificationelement assigned to the port, wherein the pressure profile is assignedinformation data aboutthe glove and the port, and a pressure drop is determined from the pressureprofile andcompared with a limiting value A residual service life of the glove can beestimated therefrom.In this context, a plurality of gloves can also be tested simultaneously
