Product Description
Fume hoods are a type of ventilation system used in many laboratories throughout the University. Their primary function is to exhaust chemical fumes, vapors, gases, dusts, mists, and aerosols. They also serve as physical barriers between reactions and the laboratory environment, offering a measure of protection against inhalation exposure, chemical spills, run-away reactions, and fires.
A typical fume hood has a box-like structure with a moveable sash window. Experimental procedures are performed within the hood which is consistently and safely ventilated, usually by means of an extract blower and ductwork. Chemical fumes are exhausted and diluted many times over in the atmosphere and have an insignificant effect on human health.
Fume hoods function by maintaining a relatively negative interior pressure while continuously drawing air through the sash opening, which prevents contaminants from escaping.
A suitable hood face velocity (the speed at which air is drawn into the hood) is critical to safe and effective operation. While excessive face velocities can result in turbulence and reduce containment, insufficient velocities also compromise performance.
In general, a hood's cubic face velocity is recommended to be between 0.3 m/s (60 cubic feet per minute) and 0.5 m/s (100 fpm).

A fume hood essentially looks like an enclosed industrial workbench. To break it down, a fume hood is made up of:
The body: The body of the fume hood contains a work surface, enclosed completely on three sides, on which lab personnel can conduct their experiments / research.
The sash: The sash is the fourth side to the hood, basically a window between the employee and the volatile compounds he or she is working with.
The exhaust duct: The exhaust duct releases any contaminated air to the outside. Usually this duct is connected to the building's HVAC infrastructure, but there are ductless fume hoods available if flexibility, lower cost, and energy efficiency are key drivers for your business or institution.
The baffles: The baffles are slotted panels that control the amount of air flowing into the hood from the surrounding environment
• Hoods should be evaluated by the user before each use to ensure adequate face velocities and the absence of excessive turbulence.
• In case of exhaust system failure while using a hood, shut off all services and accessories and lower the sash completely. Leave the area immediately.• Fume hoods should be certified, at least annually, to ensure they are operating safely. Typical tests include face velocity measurements, smoke tests and tracer gas containment. Tracer gas containment tests are especially crucial, as studies have shown that face velocity is not a good predictor of fume hood leakage.
• Laboratory fume hoods are one of the most important used and abused hazard control devices. We should understand that the combined use of safety glasses, protective gloves, laboratory smocks, good safety practices, and laboratory fume hoods are very important elements in protecting us from a potentially hazardous exposure.
• Laboratory fume hoods only protect users when they are used properly and are working correctly. A fume hood is designed to protect the user and room occupants from exposure to vapors, aerosols, toxic materials, odorous, and other harmful substances. A secondary purpose is to serve as a protective shield when working with potentially explosive or highly reactive materials. This is accomplished by lowering the hood sash.
6 Questions to Ask When Buying a Fume Hood:
-Which chemicals will you use within the hood?
-Is a ducted or ductless hood best suited to your needs and available space?
-Where will you place the fume hood in the lab? Consider workflows, access to external exhaust systems, and competing air patterns.
-What size fume hood will best suit your needs? Be sure to consider what (if any) equipment will be enclosed in the hood.
-Are any service fixtures or accessories such as airflow monitors, electrical outlets, water, or gas fixtures required?
-Are base cabinets for acid, solvent, or non-chemical storage required?
