Seal-weld being completed in the inert atmosphere glove box.

The positive-pressure inert atmosphere glove box can be used for assembly, testing and packaging of oxygen sensitive components and assemblies. The glove box may be used with nitrogen, argon, or helium atmospheres depending on project requirements.

A seal-weld is being completed in the inert atmosphere glove box. The working fluid inside this assembly is purified helium. Final assembly (and seal-welding) is completed inside the inert atmosphere glove box with a purified helium atmosphere <10ppm oxygen+water.
