Acid Digestion Block Fume Hood (SMT-FH-110)
This apparatus is a specialized fume hood designed to provide a safe, contained environment for acid digestion procedures, effectively limiting user exposure to hazardous fumes and vapors generated during high-temperature sample preparation. Its purpose is to ensure operator safety and contain corrosive gases during these aggressive chemical processes.
The unit features a corrosion-resistant construction with internal walls made of acid-proof Dexeron board and a polypropylene work surface with a drainage trough. It includes a vertically rising, heatresistant tempered glass sash that is electrically motorized for easy operation. The ventilation system is powered by a thermal-protected motor and a stainless steel blower capable of generating a high average face velocity to efficiently capture and remove fumes. Additional integrated utilities comprise vapor-proof lighting, electrical sockets, and controlled inlets for water, gas, and vacuum.
Its primary application is in analytical, environmental, and industrial laboratories where acid digestion of samples is required for elemental analysis. The key benefit is the combination of robust chemical resistance and powerful fume extraction, which protects both the user and laboratory equipment from corrosive damage, thereby ensuring a safe and controlled workspace for handling dangerous reagents.
