1. What is Fume Hood?
A Fume Hood is a ventilated enclosure used in laboratories to safely perform experiments that may produce hazardous fumes, vapors. It acts as a primary containment device, drawing air away from the user and into the hood through an exhaust system. This prevents harmful substances from entering the breathing zone and protects them from chemical exposure. They can be either cut, where contaminated air is expelled outside the building.
2. What is face velocity in a Fume Hood and why is it important?
Face velocity refers to the speed at which air is drawn through the front opening of a Fume Hood, typically measured in feet per minute. It is a critical safety parameter because it determines effectively the hood can contain and remove harmful fumes. If the velocity is too low, containment may fail; if too high, airflow turbulence can occur.
