Learners are taught that fume hoods shall be balanced with an inward flow, to a minimum of 100 feet per minute face velocity across the opening, with a minimum capture velocity of 50 fpm at any point.

In which location do laboratory fume hoods vent to?

At what frequency are expected to fume hoods be inspected and maintained?

Learners are taught that generally, EH&S performs a functional performance test to ensure hoods perform as required about every 18 months.
