Fume Hood Exhaust Fans

Fume Hood Exhaust Fans

The safety of your laboratory is imperative to your employees and the community you’re in. Labs with hazardous materials must install proper safety equipment to achieve this. We provide a large inventory of fume hood exhaust fans to help your lab promote a healthy and safe work environment. Fume hood exhaust fans filter to remove potentially unsafe mists, dust, and particles from the air. They should not be confused with biosafety cabinets, which have a different function.

Using Fume Hood Exhaust Fans Safely

Fume hoods must display information on the equipment showing the highest sash height for safe operation, and the sticker must indicate its current calibration number. The fume hood should not be used if there’s no sticker.

The equipment also needs a monitoring device that tells lab workers the pressure on the fume hood. The pressure is measured with a TSI flow meter or a Magnehelic pressure gauge. The fume hood should not be used if the pressure is greater or less than the pressure indicated on the equipment. All employees should be trained in the operations of fume hood exhaust fans to ensure their safety.

Lab workers should also be advised about working around the fume hood. The exhaust system should be free of all debris, and nothing should be stored near this equipment. Additionally, all electronics should be kept at a safe distance. Employees must keep a distance of at least six inches from the hood face so they don’t inhale contaminants.
