When designing a fume hood, the strength of the fan is crucial for ensuring proper airflow and ensuring safety. Here are the key factors to consider for determining the appropriate fan strength:
1. **Airflow Requirements**:
- A typical laboratory fume hood should maintain an average face velocity of about 80-120 feet per minute (fpm), or approximately 0.4 to 0.6 meters per second (m/s). This ensures that any hazardous fumes are effectively
