Immersion Suit Sleeve Clamp Cone – Leak Testing Accessory Kit for Immersion Suit Sleeve

Specialized Clamping Tools – For Pressure Testing, Inspection & Maintenance of SOLAS Immersion Suits

Ensure your immersion suits remain watertight and SOLAS-compliant with our Sleeve Clamp Cone Test Kit, designed for professional leak testing and suit maintenance. These essential accessories enable accurate pressure testing of wrist seals while inflating proccess.

Key Features:

✔ Pressure Test Clamps:

• Adjustable wrist clamps – Secures seals during air inflation testing

• 316 stainless steel & PVC construction – Corrosion-resistant for marine environments

• Non-marring grip surfaces – Prevents damage to neoprene/latex seals

• Compatible with most SOLAS immersion suits
  ✔ Test Kit Integration:

• Works with standard immersion suit test kits – Face clamps, pressure gauges & manual inflators

• Pressure range: 0.7–1.4 kPa – Safe inflation for leak detection

• Bubble test compatible – Apply soap solution to identify leaks

Professional Applications:

• Annual immersion suit inspections – Required for SOLAS compliance

• Post-repair leak testing – Verify seal integrity after patching

Compliance & Standards:

• IMO Resolution MSC.81(70) – Testing requirements for immersion suits

• SOLAS Chapter III – Life-saving appliance regulations

• ISO 15027-3 – Test methods for immersion suits (withdrawn but foundational)

• MED/SOLAS-certified – Available for commercial vessel use

How to Use the Sleeve Clamp for Leak Testing:

Step 1: Prepare the Suit

• Lay immersion suit on clean work surface

• Insert sleeve cones into arms/legs to smooth fabric

• Fully close zippers and secure all closures

Step 2: Attach Clamps

• Position wrist clamps over seal areas

• Tighten clamps to create air-tight seal

• Ensure clamps are snug but not over-tightened

Step 3: Connect Test Equipment

• Attach face clamp to hood opening

• Connect pressure gauge and manual inflator pump

• Inflate suit to 0.7–1.4 kPa (approximately 3–6 inches water column)

Step 4: Inspect for Leaks

• Brush soap solution along seams, zippers, and clamped seals

• Watch for bubbles indicating air leakage

• Mark leak points for repair

• Note: Small bubbles at zipper ends are acceptable per test guidelines

Step 5: Complete Testing

• Deflate suit slowly after inspection

• Remove clamps and cones

• Dry suit thoroughly before storage
