You could also leak a container of liquid smoke inside the box, purge the box with argon or any other gas and once under pressure watch to see if any of the smoke escapes from the box.

I have a lab that is using a glove box to maintain an inert atmosphere with argon while working with lithium ribbon. While the operation looks ok on the surface, they can't document or prove that they haven't had any failures (research labs are not production & no one ever thinks of these things!). Does anyone have a glove box inspection checklist or other info they can share?

Thanks in advance for your help!
