Description (English):

La présente partie de l'ISO 11933 spécifie les exigences pour la sélection, la construction et l'utilisation des éléments d'étanchéité suivants montés sur des ronds de gant ou des ronds de sac et/ou sur des bagues support éjectables utilisés dans les enceintes de confinement et décrits dans l'ISO 1933-1: -- gants, -- sacs à souder, -- soufflets d'étanchéité de pinces à distance, -- manches de protection de télémanipulateurs. Les soufflets de pinces et les manches de manipulateurs sont des manches assurant respectivement la protection des pinces pour manipulation à distance et des manipulateurs maître-esclave mécaniques. D'autres équipements différents de ceux indiqués dans la présente partie de l'ISO 11933 peuvent être utilisés à condition que leurs critères de conception respectent ceux indiqués dans ce document.

Abstract

ISO 11933-2:1997 - Overview

ISO 11933-2:1997 is the International Standard that specifies requirements for the selection, construction and use of leaktight components fitted to glove/bag ports and ejectable support rings in containment enclosures. It covers gloves, welded bags, tong gaiters for remote‑handling tongs and manipulator gaiters used in environments where contamination control and leaktight integrity are critical (for example, nuclear and radiological applications).

Key topics and technical requirements

Scope and purpose
- Defines design principles and usage guidance to promote interchangeability and avoid incompatible proprietary systems.
- Focus on maintaining leaktightness during mounting, operation and exchange of components.
Definitions and categories
- Clear definitions for gloves, welded bags, tong gaiters, manipulator gaiters, interchangeable and ejectable elements.
- Classification of gloves by mounting (glove ports vs. ejectable support rings) and by material/design (single, double, triple layer, lead‑loaded).
Designation and coding system
- Alphanumeric reference numbers and material codes (e.g., PVC, CR, IIR, FPM) for consistent product identification, sizes and seal types.
Material selection
- Criteria for selecting materials based on mechanical, chemical and radiation resistance (Annex B provides guidance).
- Provision for lead‑loaded glove constructions where ionizing radiation protection is required.
Mounting and exchange methods
- Descriptions of glove/bag attachment and change methods (including use of beads, lip seals, O‑ring seals and auxiliary clamping) to preserve containment integrity during replacement.
Performance and compatibility
- Emphasis on compatibility with associated systems in ISO 11933 series and with leak classification and testing standards.

Practical applications

Use in gloveboxes, hot cells, containment enclosures, and any facility handling hazardous or radioactive materials requiring remote handling and contamination control.
Applicable to design, procurement and QA of leaktight access components used in:
- Nuclear fuel handling and research labs
- Radioisotope production and processing
- Hazardous materials research and decontamination facilities

Who uses this standard

Mechanical and containment designers, manufacturers of gloves/welded bags/gaiters
Facility engineers, radiological protection specialists, procurement teams
Quality assurance, regulatory bodies and maintenance personnel responsible for safe component interchange and leak integrity

Related standards

ISO 11933-1 (glove/bag ports, enclosure rings)
ISO 11933-3 (transfer systems)
ISO 10648-1 and ISO 10648-2 (containment design principles and leak classification)
EN 421 (protective gloves against ionizing radiation)
ISO 1043-1 (material symbols)

Keywords: ISO 11933-2, containment enclosures, glove ports, welded bags, tong gaiters, manipulator gaiters, leaktight, glove designation, radiation protection, interchangeable elements.
