FAQ
Q1. Where is the stainless steel explosion-proof fume hood suitable for use?
A1:Chemical laboratories, pharmaceutical workshops,petrochemical plants, and food testing centers, especially where flammable gases or organic solvents are handled.
Q2. What is the difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel?
A2:304 is suitable for general chemical environments with good corrosion resistance; 316 provides stronger corrosion resistance for highly corrosive acids, alkalis, or harsh environments.
Q3. How to select the right airflow?
A3:Based on laboratory size, workbench dimensions, and the types of gases handled. Recommended face velocity is ≥0.5 m/s.
Q4. How to confirm the explosion-proof rating?
A4:Ensure the fans, lighting, and switches are certified according to national or international explosion-proof standards.
Q5. Can the fume hood be customized?
A5:Yes.Dimensions, material, airflow, and optional features (sink, gas lines, power outlets) can be customized according to laboratory requirements.
Q6. Is after-sales service and certification provided?
A6:It is recommended to choose manufacturers providing CE/ISO certification and complete after-sales maintenance to ensure safe long-term use.
