What Is Fume Hood Testing?
Fume Hood Testing is the process of measuring and documenting the airflow and containment performance of a laboratory fume hood under defined operating conditions.
The testing process evaluates whether sufficient air is entering through the sash opening and whether fumes generated within the hood are being effectively contained and exhausted.
Aeromech provides testing for both Constant Air Volume and Variable Air Volume Fume Hoods.
Why Is Fume Hood Testing Important?
Fume hoods are designed to protect laboratory personnel by capturing hazardous fumes, vapours and airborne contaminants generated during chemical handling.
Testing helps laboratory operators:
- Verify face velocity
- Assess airflow performance
- Evaluate fume containment
- Identify airflow disturbances
- Check exhaust performance
- Identify possible leakage risks
- Support laboratory safety programmes
- Maintain documented performance records
When Should a Fume Hood Be Tested?
Fume Hood Testing may be required:
- During initial commissioning
- At periodic testing intervals
- After exhaust-system maintenance
- After blower servicing
- After duct modification
- After laboratory refurbishment
- After fume hood relocation
- Following airflow problems
- After sash or control-system repairs
- When required by laboratory safety procedures
Fume Hood Testing conditions
Before Testing
The fume hood should be installed, cleaned and available for testing with access to the sash, exhaust system, controls and working area.
Operating Condition
The fume hood and exhaust system should operate under the agreed normal condition for sufficient time to allow airflow to stabilise before measurements are taken.
After Maintenance
Where testing follows exhaust-system maintenance, blower servicing, relocation or modification, the applicable airflow and containment tests should be completed before the fume hood is returned to routine use.
Fume Hood Testing Services
The calibration scope is selected according to the type, airflow configuration, application, client protocol and agreed acceptance criteria.
Airflow Control Testing & Calibration
Evaluates the airflow-control system to confirm that the fume hood maintains the required operating airflow.
- Airflow-control response
- Operating airflow condition
- Control-system performance
- Calibration observations
Face Velocity Testing
Measures the velocity of air entering through the fume hood sash opening to evaluate the effectiveness of the containment airflow.
- Measurement locations
- Individual velocity readings
- Average face velocity
- Airflow uniformity
Small Volume Smoke Testing
Uses a controlled small volume of smoke to observe local airflow behaviour and containment around the sash and working area.
- Airflow direction
- Local turbulence
- Smoke containment
- Escape observations
Large Volume Smoke Testing
Introduces a larger volume of visible smoke to evaluate the overall containment capability of the fume hood.
- Overall smoke containment
- Airflow movement
- Escape from the hood
- Containment observations
Depending on the fume hood, laboratory configuration and agreed scope, Aeromech may also review:
- Sash operating condition
- Exhaust-system performance
- Airflow-control response
