I suppose the simplest flow monitor is a manometer connected as a static
pressure indicator to a straight length of exhaust duct and mounted on the
face of the hood, and calibrated once or twice per year against a face
velocity measurement.
It is always a good idea to have an air flow indicator on a chemical fume
hood in a location that can readily be seen by the hood user. Whether it is
a legal requirement or not apparently depends on whether you are in
California.
