What Is Fume Hood Testing?
Fume hood testing is a critical process used to evaluate the performance and containment efficiency of laboratory fume hoods. Proper testing ensures hazardous vapors, gases, and particulates are effectively captured and exhausted, protecting personnel and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Routine fume hood testing typically includes:
- Face velocity measurement
- Airflow visualization
- Containment and leakage testing
- Tracer gas testing (per ASHRAE 110 and ANSI/ASHRAE 199 guidelines)
Industry standards such as SEFA 1 (Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association) establish performance benchmarks for laboratory fume hoods, while ANSI/ASHRAE 199 complements ASHRAE 110 by providing updated methods for evaluating containment in modern lab environments. Together, these standards form the foundation for consistent and effective fume hood testing practices.
Kanomax USA offers a complete ecosystem of instruments designed to streamline each of these testing procedures with precision and ease.
