Steel Lab Fume Hood
A fume hood is an essential piece of equipment in a laboratory that protects the user from harmful chemical vapors and particles. Its product advantages and selling points are as follows:
1.Safety: A fume hood provides a safe working environment for laboratory personnel by effectively containing and exhausting harmful chemical fumes and vapors.
2.Airflow Control: A fume hood's ventilation system enables precise control of airflow and direction, providing optimal protection for the user and the laboratory environment.
3.Customizable: Fume hoods can be customized to meet the specific needs of the laboratory, such as size, materials, and air handling capabilities.
4.Energy Efficiency: Modern fume hoods are designed to be energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, with features such as automatic sash closure and low airflow alarm systems.
5.Compliance: Fume hoods comply with industry standards and regulations, ensuring that the laboratory remains compliant with safety guidelines.
6.Easy to use: Fume hoods are easy to operate and require minimal maintenance, making them a convenient addition to any laboratory.
7.Versatility: Fume hoods can be used for a variety of laboratory applications, such as chemical handling, microbiological work, and drug preparation.
Specifications and parameters
- Size: Fume hoods come in a range of sizes, from small benchtop models to large walk-in models. The size of the fume hood should be chosen based on the intended use and available space.
- Airflow: Fume hoods rely on airflow to remove hazardous fumes and vapors from the work area. The airflow rate should be sufficient to ensure that the hazardous materials are properly contained.
- Face velocity: The face velocity of the fume hood measures the speed of the air as it enters the hood. The face velocity should be sufficient to ensure that the hazardous materials are properly contained.
- Material: Fume hoods are commonly made of materials such as stainless steel or chemical-resistant laminate. The material chosen depends on the intended use and the types of chemicals or materials that will be handled in the hood.
- Sash: The sash is the moveable panel at the front of the fume hood that allows the user to access the work area. The sash should be easy to operate and should be made of a material that is compatible with the hazardous materials being handled.
- Lighting: Adequate lighting should be provided for the work area.
- Electrical outlets: The fume hood should have sufficient electrical outlets for the equipment that will be used inside.
- Safety features: The fume hood should be designed with safety features such as an alarm system to alert users if the airflow is compromised or a fire suppression system to quickly extinguish any fires.
- Exhaust system: The fume hood should be connected to an exhaust system that is capable of properly venting the hazardous fumes and vapors outside the building.
- Certification: Fume hoods should be certified by an independent third-party organization to ensure that they meet safety and performance standards.
