48" Three Glove Compact Glove Boxes Overview
The 48" Three Glove Compact Glove Boxes (model SG848) from Yamato Scientific is a completely sealed isolation glove box in the Glove Box category, built for product and personnel protection. Spanning a 48" × 29" × 32" interior working chamber fitted with three Hypalon gloves, this unit handles basic containment, isolation, and inert-atmosphere work. LabSupplies.com supplies it as an authorized Yamato Scientific dealer.
Construction centers on thick clear cast acrylic for the main working chamber, an optically clear material developed for isolation and containment. An integrated 12" transfer chamber with purging valves and a vacuum gauge moves equipment in and out without breaking the main seal. Four key-cock purging valves split across the main and transfer chambers, while white ambidextrous Hypalon gloves provide operator access.
A hospital-grade multiple-outlet strip powers instruments inside the enclosure, and a pressure-relief valve with a small HEPA filter manages chamber pressure. Exterior dimensions reach 63" × 31" × 35" including the transfer chamber, with a shipping weight of 440 lbs. Built in the United States and CE certified, the SG848 supports nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases to lower oxygen and humidity.
Key Features
- Three-glove access: white ambidextrous Hypalon gloves for chemical- and abrasion-resistant handling inside the sealed chamber.
- Integrated 12" transfer chamber: includes purging valves and a vacuum gauge to move items without breaking the main seal, reaching a maximum vacuum of −26" Hg (660 torr).
- Flat side access door: 21.5" × 24" H opening for introducing larger equipment into the working chamber.
- Four key-cock purging valves: two on the main chamber and two on the transfer chamber for controlled atmosphere exchange.
- Pressure management: pressure-relief valve with a small HEPA filter; main chamber rated to +6"/−6" water column (11.2 torr) and a ±0.5" water column operating pressure for containment.
- Inert-atmosphere ready: compatible with nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases to lower oxygen and humidity.
How to Choose the Right Glove Box
Selecting a glove box comes down to matching chamber size, glove access, and atmosphere control to your workflow and the substances being handled. Use the criteria below to confirm the SG848 fits your application.
- Glove configuration: three-glove layouts suit single- or two-operator tasks; confirm the count and Hypalon material match your reach and chemical exposure.
- Interior capacity: the 48" × 29" × 32" working chamber sets the maximum equipment footprint you can place inside.
- Access door size: the 21.5" × 24" flat side door determines the largest instrument you can load and unload.
- Transfer chamber and pressure range: the integrated 12" chamber and ±0.5" water column operating pressure govern how you move material and maintain containment.
- Atmosphere requirements: verify compatibility with nitrogen, argon, or other inert gases if you need reduced oxygen and humidity.
- Footprint and siting: exterior dimensions of 63" × 31" × 35" and a 440 lb weight should match your available bench or floor space.
