Lab Chemical Fume Hood is an important piece of equipment in the laboratory that aims to keep laboratory and user safety at the highest level by preventing the release of chemical vapors, gases and potentially harmful particles into the general laboratory area.

The Lab Chemical Fume Hood should be used in toxic and volatile materials such as chloroform and formaldehyde, corrosive, flammable, flammable and explosive chemicals, carcinogenic and odorous materials in the laboratory environment. The Lab Chemical Fume Hood, also known as fume hood, which is completely made of galvanized sheet metal and baked at 200 degrees with electrostatic powder paint after production and becomes many times stronger against corrosion and chemicals, draws the harmful gases in the laboratory with the help of a constant flow or variable flow fan and gives them to the atmosphere through the channels connected to the hood as follows.

Lab Chemical Fume Hood with a Constant Flow fan will always exhaust the same amount of air regardless of the horizontal or vertical position of the glass. As the sash opens and closes, the air velocity across the hood surface will not change. Those with a variable flow fan include a front speed control panel that controls the fan speed to maintain a constant air velocity at the face of the hood. This type of fan ensures optimum hood performance regardless of sash position and saves significant energy by reducing the airflow rate when the sash is closed.

Lab Chemical Fume Hood can be designed as vertical opening, horizontal opening and combination type in laboratory environment. The most commonly used model in the laboratory, the standard fume hood with vertical opening glass is the most ideal model that protects the user from toxic gases and should be worked with a maximum glass height of 45 cm. The horizontal opening type Lab Chemical Fume Hood gives the user more freedom to work in a certain area of the fume hood, while reducing costs as the sash is never fully open. Finally, the combination type is a Lab Chemical Fume Hood model designed by placing a horizontal glass system inside the vertical opening glass. Only one of the combinations should be used for the efficiency of the work done.

Before using the Lab Chemical Fume Hood, it is necessary to check whether it has been inspected within the last twelve months, whether the air flow is sufficient, the lights are working and the strength of the side walls. After completing all the checks, it is important for user safety to start using protective equipment such as lab coats, protective goggles and gloves before starting work.

To optimize Lab Chemical Fume Hood performance and for user health, keep work within 15 cm of the fume hood work surface and use a lower glass height. Poorly placed materials on the Lab Chemical Fume Hood work surface will not allow toxic gases to be exhausted efficiently through the hood, increasing the risk of chemical exposure to the user.
