Steel Fume Hood with Adjustable Speed Control
A steel fume hood, also known as a steel exhaust hood or steel laboratory hood, is a ventilation device commonly used in laboratories and industrial settings to control and remove hazardous fumes, gases, and airborne particles.
Designed to provide a safe working environment, steel fume hoods capture and contain hazardous substances generated during various scientific experiments, chemical reactions, or processes.
However, it's important to note that when using a steel fume hood, proper training and adherence to safety protocols are crucial. Users should understand the specific guidelines and procedures related to their laboratory or industrial setting to ensure the effective and safe use of the fume hood.
Steel fume hoods are typically constructed using high-quality stainless steel for durability, resistance to corrosion, and ease of cleaning. The steel ensures the hood's structural integrity and longevity.
The enclosed workspace of the fume hood is lined with a chemical-resistant material to prevent damage from corrosive substances, and is equipped with a sash or door at the front for access and observation.
The exhaust system of the fume hood includes a fan or blower to create negative pressure inside the hood, which ensures that hazardous substances are drawn into the hood and expelled outside the building through ductwork. The sash or door is made of a transparent material such as glass to allow visibility, which also acts as a barrier to contain hazardous fumes and provide protection to the user.
Fume hoods rely on airflow and ventilation to ensure containment of hazardous substances. They have a face velocity, typically measured in feet per minute (fpm), that must be maintained at a specific level for proper capture and containment. Steel fume hoods may additionally have safety features such as alarms, airflow monitors, and fire suppression systems for added user protection.
Steel fume hoods are extensively used in many industries to handle and manipulate hazardous chemicals, solvents, and reagents. They provide a controlled environment for experiments, chemical reactions, and sample preparations, protecting workers from exposure to toxic fumes and vapors.
In pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, steel fume hoods are utilized during the development and production of drugs, protecting personnel from hazardous substances. Fume hoods are also used in research and development (R&D) facilities across various industries, as they prevent the release of volatile or hazardous substances.
Steel fume hoods are crucial in environmental testing laboratories to analyze air, water, and soil samples for pollutants, toxins, and contaminants. They are used in various industrial manufacturing processes involving hazardous chemicals, volatile substances, or noxious gases, as well as in educational institutions, where laboratory experiments are integral to the curriculum.

Steel fume hoods are typically packaged and shipped in an appropriate cardboard or wood crate, depending on the size and weight of the hood. The hood is securely strapped to the crate and is protected from the elements. If the hood contains any fragile components, these components should be separately packaged and clearly labeled. A packing list should be included with each shipment as a reference for the contents. Care should be taken to ensure that the hood and its components are not damaged during the shipping process.
