chemical fume hood

A chemical fume hood is very important tool  in labs. It keep people safe by removing  bad fumes and gases that can  harm when you breathe them. When scientist work  with chemicals, they often make vapors  which is not safe. The fume hood catch  these vapors and send  them out side, so lab become safer place. At Rio Tinto  Steel Cabinet, we know how crucial these hoods are for laboratory. They made to protect user from harmful exposure while let them work good with different chemicals.

Choosing correct chemical fume hood very important  to keep lab workers safe. First you  need think about size of hood. It should fit  in  your lab space without feeling too tight. Next consider what kind work you will do. Some  hoods  better  for  certain chemicals or process. For example if working with very dangerous material, you might need hood with stronger air flow. Also very  important check airflow rate,  usually measure in  feet per minute. Good airflow keep harmful fumes away  from you. At Rio Tinto Steel Cabinet, we offer a variety of fume hoods, including the Easy Clean Laboratory Equipment Fume Cupboard Chemical Explosion Proof Lab Fume Hood, that fit different needs and budgets.

How to Choose the Right Chemical Fume Hood for Your Laboratory Needs

Another thing look at  is  material used to build fume hood. Some chemical  can corrode certain stuff, so choose hood  that can stand  what  you using. Like if using acids, hood from acid-resistant material is must. In addition  think about features you want. Some hood have  built in light, other might got extra shelf for storage. Lastly consider  budget.  It tempting take cheapest one  but safety worth invest in.  At Rio Tinto Steel Cabinet  we offer a variety of fume hoods that fit different need  and budgets, so  you can find right one for your laboratory. You might also consider the Corrosion-Resistant Multifunctional White PP Material Acid Resistant Fume Hood Laboratory Exhaust Fume Hoods for specific applications.

Even  best fume hoods can have problem when using. One common issue is people block airflow sometime. This happen if put items too close to front of hood. When this,  harmful fumes build up inside instead go out. To avoid always keep clear space in front. And remember check sash - that window of hood -  at right height. If too high,  fumes  can escape to lab.
