Hello everyone,
I recall there was some discussion a couple of years ago regarding low-flow fume hoods, and I’d like to revisit the topic. Specifically, I am interested in hearing about your experiences using low-flow fume hoods sized with a maximum average
face velocity of 60 FPM at an 18” sash opening in high-risk, highly variable academic research environments.
If you have insights or experiences—positive or negative—regarding their effectiveness, safety, or any challenges you’ve encountered, I would greatly appreciate your input.
Thank you in advance for your feedback!
Best regards,
Steve
