1 Device
1.1 Cylinder
The minimum diameter should be 60mm, and it should have sufficient length to hold the gloves on top and accommodate 1000mL of water. The cylinder is preferably transparent. .
1.2 Water Filling Device
This device enables the glove to remain vertical during filling.
1.3 Cylindrical Measuring Cup
A container with a volume of at least 1000 mL or any other device capable of transferring 1000 mL of water at one time.
2 Steps
Use a suitable device, such as an O-ring, to secure the glove onto the cylindrical tube so that the glove does not extend beyond the tube by more than 40 mm.
Introduce 1000 mL ± 50 mL of water at a temperature not exceeding 36°C into the device and wipe off any water that has splashed onto the glove. If the water does not rise to a point 40 mm above the cuff, lift the glove to ensure that the entire glove (including the part 40 mm away from the cuff) is tested. Immediately note any obvious leakage. If there is no immediate leakage, observe for 2 to 4 minutes. Ignore any leakage within 40 mm from the cuff. For easier observation, you can dye the water with a water-soluble dye.
