The fume hood is a commonly used equipment in the laboratory, which needs to discharge harmful gases, clean, and swept during the experiment. Therefore, selecting laboratory fume hood manufacturers is an essential part of fume hood procurement. Laboratory fume hoods are a vital safety option for laboratories and are mainly used to discharge various indoor exhaust gases. So what should be paid attention to when installing a laboratory fume hood?

1. The location of the laboratory

The room for the laboratory should be built in a location with good ventilation, north-south direction, good lighting, less wind and sand, and well equipped with water and electricity.

2. Floors Selection

For physics laboratories, the lower floors from the 1st to the 3rd floor should be selected. The laboratory fume hood is convenient for grounding and heavy equipment installation and use. Chemical and biological laboratories should choose the third floor close to the top of the building for easy ventilation or ventilation systems.

3. Notes on decoration

You should make an approximate plan according to your own experimental needs, and then find a professional laboratory furniture manufacturer to do a professional layout plan or 3D CAD drawing. The position of water (up and down water and pure water, etc.), electricity (220/380V electricity), gas (lazy and flammable), the placement of the lab workbench, the setting of the instrument and the arrangement of the working position. It is beneficial to the renovation and decoration of the laboratory, and the installation and use of lab furniture and instruments.

 4. Option On Bench Top

Different experiments have different requirements for the lab table. For example, the physical test of the laboratory fume hood mainly pays attention to load-bearing, high and weak current, static electricity, leveling, wear resistance, anti-skid, and adjustable mobility. Chemical tests should consider ventilation, anti-virus, acid and alkali corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, water and electricity safety, and convenient use. For biological experiments, attention should be paid to the setting of water, the workbench’s height, and the power supply’s position to complete the independent or intermediate power supply.

 

The wooden lab table is a good appearance and value, but the load-bearing and waterproofing are not very good. The steel-wood workbench has an excellent load-bearing capacity, is easy to clean, and has small cabinet space. The steel test bench is beautiful and robust, durable, and noisy during use.

 

Laboratory fume hood workbench top: the Solid Phenolic board has good waterproof acid and alkali resistance, and the acid and alkali resistance of the thousand silk board is similar to that of the physicochemical board (hydrofluoric acid is slightly worse), but the lubricity is better. In addition to acid and alkali resistance, epoxy resin board has Outstanding high-temperature resistance and repairability.
