    An Introduction to Laboratory Fume Hood Performance Testing


    Topics of Discussion
    What is a Fume Hood?
    Why do we Test Fume Hoods?
    Brief History of ASHRAE 110
    ASHRAE 110: Face Velocity Testing
    ASHRAE 110: Smoke Visualization

    Other Fume Hood Performance Tests
    A Laboratory Fume Hood is a
    safety device where
    hazardous chemicals can be
    handled safely while fumes
    and vapors generated by
    these chemicals are
    exhausted out of the building,
    when connected to a properly
    designed laboratory
    ventilation system.
    What is a Fume Hood?
    Speed of the

    Velocity
    What is a Fume Hood?
    Above all else, laboratory
    fume hoods are
    SAFETY DEVICES.
    What is a Fume Hood?
    A method of evaluating the fume hoods ability to
    contain and exhaust fumes under a set a standard
    conditions.
    A means for a comparative analysis of fume hoods.
    A tool for fume hood manufacturers to use in the
    design and research & development of fume hoods.
    A criteria for fume hood procurement.
    A method to commission and certify fume hood
    installations.
    A forensic tool to help identify issues/problems with
    an installed laboratory fume hood HVAC system.
    Why Test Fume Hoods?
    What Fume Hood Performance
    Testing is NOT:
    As of today, there is no performance test
    that directly correlates the results of the
    fume hood performance test with the
    safety afforded to a fume hood operator.
    The variables in hood environment
    (including cross drafts, temperature and
    pressure fluctuations, activity and traffic
    in the lab space, hood location, system
    design), use practices, materials in the
    hood and hood loading, prevent a direct
    correlation.
    Why Test Fume Hoods?
    Brief History of ASHRAE 110
    Evolved from a research paper by K. J . Caplan and G.
    W. Knutson, Laboratory Fume Hoods, A Performance
    Test, RP-70, ASHRAE Transactions, 1978.
    A Test Method that does not define pass/fail criteria
    First published as an ANSI Standard in 1985.
    Revised in 1995.
    2005 version has yet to be published.
    SPC 110 Committee is actively involved in the laboratory
    industry.
