Acid cabinets are normally not vented. If vented there is no standard I know of. I think the issue may be more the materials of construction or your handling practices.

Hello,

We have an acid cabinet which is ventilated. The ventilation for the cabinet is too low to measure and as a result the cabinet has corroded. We are replacing the cabinet. Does anyone know what the appropriate flow rates are for such a cabinet storing mineral acids would be?
