FAQs

How many inches inside the face of a fume hood must all equipment be placed and operations conducted? ›

Keep all equipment and materials at least 6 inches behind the plane of the sash (hood face), this will improve containment capture. A stripe (tape) on the hood working surface is a good reminder. Place all bulky equipment away from the sidewalls to allow air flow around the equipment.

What is the maximum opening height for fume hoods during work? ›

Types of fume hoods

Standard flow fume hoods are designed to operate at 100 linear feet per minute (LFM) at 18 inches sash height. (Note that some legacy hoods were designed to operate at 100 LFM at full sash height, as high as 25 inches). Low flow fume hoods are designed to operate at 70 LFM at 18 inches sash height.

What is the ventilation rate for fume hoods? ›

The recognized acceptable minimum volumetric rate (CFM) of air for fume hood exhaust is typically cited from National Fire Protection Association's NFPA 45 recommendation of 25 CFM per interior square foot of work area.

When using a fume hood all work is performed a minimum of 6 inches from the front edge? ›

Conduct all work at least 6 inches inside of the hood. The capture ability of a fume hood is reduced at the front edge of the hood because of air turbulence. Always wear splash goggles, and use a full face shield if there is possibility of an explosion or eruption. Wear gloves appropriate for the materials being used.

What is the minimum distance inside a fume hood needed to safely set up an experimental apparatus? ›

Conduct all work and keep all apparatus at least 6 inches back from the face of the hood.

What are the requirements for a fume hood? ›

Average air velocity at the hood face must be at least 80 linear feet per minute (fpm), with a minimum of 60 fpm at any measured point. If regulated carcinogens are to be used, an average air velocity of 100 fpm should be maintained with a minimum of 80 fpm at any measured point.

What is the minimum face velocity of a fume hood? ›

It is generally recommended that a fume hood's face velocity is between 0.3 m/s (60 fpm) and 0.5 m/s (100 fpm), however, it is best to check with local safety regulations because variations exist by state and use. Several organizations have adopted fume hood safety standards as it relates to face velocity.

What is the recommended maximum sash height for operating a chemical fume hood safely? ›

4. Work with the fume hood sash in the lowest possible position no higher than 18 inches. Keep the sash clean and clear. The sash will act as a physical barrier in the event of an accident inside the fume hood.

Is the minimum proper fume hood face velocity 100 FPM? ›

For a typical fume hood, the optimum face velocity is no less than 100 feet per minute (fpm). In the case of low-flow, high-efficiency fume hoods, the acceptable face velocity is no less than 80 fpm. (NOTE: Document all alarm events for low-flow, high- efficiency fume hoods.

What is the OSHA standard for fume hoods? ›

OSHA's Laboratory standard (29 CFR 1910.1450) requires that fume hoods be maintained and function properly when used. Before using a fume hood: Make sure that you understand how the hood works. You should be trained to use it properly.

How many CFM per person? ›

Derives the ventilation rate from the number of people that will occupy the space at any given time. Example: For an office, the recommended ventilation rate is 20 cfm per person. The occupancy of a general office is one person per 80 to 150 sq. ft.

How many air changes per hour for fume hood? ›

When attempting to save energy in typically higher hood density installations, minimum fume hood flow rates in the range of 150 to 375 hood air changes per hour (ACH) have been used to control vapor concentrations inside hood interiors.

Which steps must be carried out in the fume hood and why? ›

Here are five golden rules of fume hood lab safety to follow:
  • Perform Safety Measures BEFORE Using A Fume Hood. ...
  • Always Think Safety During Use. ...
  • Avoid Storing Chemicals In A Fume Hood. ...
  • Make Sure Employees Are Up To Date On Training. ...
  • Have A Contingency Plan In Place.

What is the standard air flow for fume hood? ›

Air volume passing through a fume hood is generally equal to the area of the sash opening multiplied by the average velocity desired. For example, if 100 feet per minute (fpm) is required and the hood has a sash opening of 7.5 square feet, then the hood's air volume is 750 (7.5 x 100) cubic feet per minute (CFM).

What are the EPA performance requirements for laboratory fume hoods? ›

The EPA Performance Requirements for Laboratory Fume Hoods document includes criteria for chemical fume hoods operating at an average face velocity of 100 fpm for typical chemical fume hoods, and 60 fpm for low-velocity chemical fume hoods.

How often should fume hoods be calibrated? ›

TSS recommends installing an audible and visual airflow alarm to indicate whether the fume hood is safe to operate if one is not already present. This should be calibrated on an annual basis at a minimum.

What is the OSHA Hood velocity requirements? ›

OSHA: “General air flow should not be turbulent and should be relatively uniform throughout the laboratory, with no high velocity or static areas; air flow into and within the hood should not be excessively turbulent; hood face velocity should be adequate. (Typically 60-110 fpm.)”

How do you check the flow rate of a fume hood? ›

Process:
  1. Turn on hood.
  2. Check the vaneometer. ...
  3. Match red arrow on sash with red arrow on the side panel of the hood.

ASHRAE (formerly called the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers) recommends (in its Standard 62.2-2016, "Ventilation and Acceptable Indoor Air Quality in Residential Buildings") that homes receive 0.35 air changes per hour but not less than 15 cubic feet of air per minute (cfm) per ...

Is 50 CFM enough? ›

A 50 CFM rating is recommended as a minimum for bathrooms 50 sq. ft. and smaller. Larger bathrooms require additional ventilation capacity.

What is the rule for CFM? ›

This rule is a quick way to approximate the cooling load for a room or building and may be helpful in estimating room air quantities. For example, to estimate the number of tons required to cool a 1,600-sq-ft home, multiply 1,600 by 1 cfm/sq ft to get 1,600 cfm of air.

What does 10 air changes per hour mean? ›

What is Air Changes Per Hour? Air Changes per Hour is a measurement of how many times a volume of air within a room will be added, removed, or exchanged with filtered clean air. It's also referred to as “air exchange rate” or “air change rate” and is abbreviated to ACH or ACPH.

How much cubic feet of air do you need to prevent fume hazardous? ›

Fifteen (15) cubic feet per minute (cfm) per person (this may be less in older buildings); Fifteen hundredths (0.15) cfm per square foot of conditioned floor space; or. The amount of air necessary to operate exhaust ventilation systems in the building such as restroom, kitchen and local exhaust systems.

How often should you clean a fume hood? ›

If your hood isn't used often, clean it immediately afterward. Ducted fume hoods used with low-risk chemicals can go months without a clean. Fume hoods used for dangerous or varied processes need cleaning after every use.

What is the face of fume hood? ›

The face is the imaginary plane between the bottom of the sash and the work surface. This is the opening in which air is pulled from the lab into the hood. It serves as the entry point for hands to enter the work area. Across this imaginary plane is where face velocity is measured using an appropriate monitor.

What is the face velocity required for fume hoods? ›

A traditional hood should be between 60 and 100 FPM according to many agencies. This may increase to 120 feet per minute if you're working with highly toxic chemicals. The appropriate velocities are not determined by manufactures but instead are generally dictated by local code.

What are the dimensions of a fume hood? ›

Fume hoods are available in three standard lengths, 48” 60″ and 72” and two standard internal depth 24” and 30.

Where should fume hoods be placed? ›

Fume hoods should be located away from activities or facilities, which produce air currents or turbulence. Locate away from high traffic areas, air supply diffusers, doors, and operable windows. Air turbulence affects the capability of hoods to exhaust contaminated air.

What is true about a fume hood? ›

A chemical fume hood is a ventilated enclosure used to trap and exhaust vapors, gases, and nanoparticles. The exhaust fan is typically stationed at the top of the building and pulls air through the duct work connected to the hood and exhausts it into the atmosphere.

What are the three functions of fume hood? ›

They protect workers by:
  • Containing vapors, dusts, gases, and fumes generated within the hood, and removing them as air flows into the hood and then out via the laboratory exhaust system.
  • Contributing to laboratory ventilation as air flows through the hood.

How do you check fume hood flow? ›

Process:
  1. Turn on hood.
  2. Check the vaneometer. ...
  3. Match red arrow on sash with red arrow on the side panel of the hood.
  4. To acquire reading hold vaneometer in the center of the hood.
  5. Acceptable standard -Chemical fume hoods should operate at a face velocity of (80-120) Linear Feet Per Minute.

How do you calculate face velocity? ›

Face velocity is measured in m/s and can be calculated as the volume flow rate (m³/s) divided by the face area (m²).
