Acid & Alkali Resistant Duct Fume Hood Airflow for Laboratory

Laboratory fume hoods (also known as fume cupboards) are an important safety measure in many laboratories that work with chemicals. They act as a ventilation system and prevent dangerous fumes, gases, vapours and dust from harming laboratory staff. Fume hoods are considered as a piece of laboratory furniture and can be found in most laboratories that have to work with any hazardous substances.

Ensuring staff protection against dangerous fumes, chemicals, gases and vapours - fume hoods are an undoubtedly necessary part of lab equipment. Whenever laboratory activities include work with hazardous substances, it is improtant to perform these procedures under a fume hood. In addition to protecting personel, fume hoods are also helpful in protecting the object of experiment and the environment nearby (from the exhausted vapours).

Fume hoods work like many other ventilation systems, as they draw in and capture the air. The difference with laboratory fume hoods is that they filter out all of the hazardous air gases, vapours, fumes, etc. After that, depending on the fume hood design, they either blow out the cleaned air outside of the building or back to the laboratory room.

Laboratory fume hoods are usually classified according their shapes and sizes:

• Portable fume hoods
• Tabletop fume hoods
• Compact fume hoods
• Double-sided fume hoods
• Walk-in fumee hoods
• And more designs or custom solutions.
