Acid Resistant Countertop Fume Hood High Airflow ISO Certified

Steel fume hoods offer reliable durability, corrosion resistance, and easily cleanable stainless steel construction that provides structural integrity and long-term reliability.

The enclosure is designed with a transparent sash or door which provides a safe and secure way to access the interior of the fume hood. The inside walls are lined with chemical-resistant material that prevents damage from hazardous chemical exposure.

The fume hood is connected to an exhaust system that includes a fan or blower which creates negative pressure inside the hood. This works to draw the hazardous fumes into the hood and expelled out of the laboratory or workspace.

The front opening of the hood is sealed with either a sash (vertical window) or a door that can be opened or closed as required. The sash or door works as a barrier to any hazardous fumes and protect the user. It is made with a transparent material which allows for visibility into the hood.

For containment and removal of hazardous substances, fume hoods are designed with airflow as the primary functionality. This is maintained at a specific level or ‘face velocity’ which is typically measured in feet per minute (fpm) and ensures the effective capture of vapors and toxins.

Steel fume hoods are often equipped with additional safety features, such as alarms, airflow monitors, and fire suppression systems, to reduce the risk of accident.

Steel fume hoods are a vital tool in a wide range of settings. In chemical laboratories, they are extensively used to handle and manipulate hazardous chemicals, solvents, and reagents, providing safe and controlled working environments for experiments and sample preparations. They are also employed in pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, where they protect staff from exposure to potent or toxic compounds.

Steel fume hoods are essential in research and development (R&D) facilities across many industries, enabling scientists and researchers to safely conduct experiments and analyze samples. They are also used in environmental testing laboratories to analyze air, water, and soil samples for pollutants, toxins, and contaminants. Industrial manufacturing processes involving the use of hazardous or volatile substances also make use of steel fume hoods to control emissions and protect personnel.

Furthermore, steel fume hoods are found in educational institutions as safety measures for student laboratory experiments. This way, students can perform experiments in a controlled environment, protected from exposure to potentially harmful fumes.
